Yah!

You can remove the front seat, door sills and seat belt bolts to expose the floor. Then clean and treat any rust, tuck any dynamat or equivalent up under the firewall without removing anything else and then lay down some foil backed jute from Speedway Motors. Replace the carpet with fresh or...

I think the above is accurate. I have a '68 convertible Barracuda. I put dynamat extreme from the front windshield down to the rear trunk divider, and then covered that with the double, foil-sided jute mat on top of that. I seal the seams with that wax paper covered aluminum foil duct tape. I...

I have a '68 Barracuda convertible that I welded in the full US Cartool Chassis Stiffening Kit. I made a huge difference, but I still had a bit of the cowl shake left. It was most noticeable around town. When I still had the Slant 6 under the hood, I made a Monte Carlo bar that tied the cowl...

I was just rib'in you guys who live in cold places.

Oh my gawd, and what is that white stuff all over the ground?

Looks nice and wrinkle free. How are your seals working. I have to roll my windows up after the top is up & latched, so they seals work better. Does your car have that issue? This kind of work is beyond my capabilities, and I had to pay to have mine installed too. How much was the install?

Beautiful workmanship. Are you going to weld in subframe connectors, under fender bracing and an under radiator support? i used the complete US Cartool chassis stiffening kit and it made a dramatic improvement on my rust free 69 Barracuda. Any plans to update the drive train for more performance?

You need a 3 position momentary switch. In other words, the switch automatically springs back to the center position, and must be held to activate the 12v circuit to the left and right of the center position. Once released, it springs back to the center. I always prefer to use Marine Grade...

Good points, but I bandaided my headlights too. I just don't like the idea of all that amperage coursing through my switches and bulkhead connectors. They are much brighter as a result. I also run a pair of 40 amp relays on my fuel pumps to keep the higher amp draw out of my oil pressure and two...

Get your switch rebuilt again, check all the items mentioned above and then buy and install Crackedback's top relay harness and you will never have to touch it again. His relay harness does the heavy amp load lifting, while the switch only handles the trigger voltage to the relays. He's the...

Only lift your car on level ground. Hook the floor jack cradle on the lower edge at the center of the K-member. Lift the car 1/2" and give the floor jack a tug or two. It should not slip off the K member. Once you are sure it is hooked and centered, carefully raise the car. You should be able...

1968 Barracuda convertible with 275-60/15's Z-rated(186mph) tires on the rear and 215/60-15's V-rated(149mph) on the front. BBP hubs.

I chose a black German Canvas material for my top. It looks way better than any vinyl top I've seen. I too paid a professional to install it. Mine had the glass rear window. Professional install was pricey, but no wrinkles and fits superb.

That's good news. Nice rims.

LOL, if you didn't know it wasn't vinyl, you wouldn't have ever known otherwise. You certainly can't tell it's canvas from this photograph? The wrinkles on your install are accented by the sheen of the vinyl, which is another reason I prefer the matte look of canvas. Notice how much better...

I opted for the German Canvas top with glass window. Looks so better than the cheap looking stock or replacement vinyl. Then again, my car looks all stock on the exterior, but then almost everything under the body is not stock either.

I used all US Cartool parts to brace the car. First were the subframe connectors. They made a huge difference, but did nothing for the cowl shake on rough roads. Then I added the chassis stiffening kit that ties the front frame rails together and braces the shock towers. I also welded the shock...

I have a '68 convertible with an EFI'd 408" Magnum that puts out a touch over 500 hp. It has a full US Cartool chassis stiffening kit in it including subframe connectors and a four point roll bar. I did have a triangulated Monte Carlo bar in it, but I had to remove it when I swapped out the...

We are out of luck with the rears for A & E bodies. New life makes the front ones. I want power windows on my '68 too. I guess a guy can fabricate a set, but I am not willing to do it.

Installing convertible tops is an art. I paid a seasoned professional to install a German Canvas top with a glass rear window on my car. The factory vinyl and plastic rear windows only look good when the top is down and under a parade boot. He too had to loosen the rear locking stip to get out...

I replaced all the glass i my '70 E-Bodie with tinted glass from AMD. I then had the best rated shop in our area tint it all with their lightes tint before I put it back in. It came out perfect for my tastes, but it was a challenge getting it all back in without scratching it.

I have a '68 with an assembled top. i can shoot some pics. Perhaps, they will show enough detail to help.

I'm going to be removing and replacing the widshield, gaskets and trim in the next month or so as part of my dash & A/C and interior resoration. I'm getting water in the car under the dash currently, and suspect it's more than the wiper gaskets. I'll post pics of what's under there, as the...

I installed a four-point rollbar in my '68 Barracuda. It has the complete US Cartool chassis stiffening kit in it too. The middle support bars attach to a plate that's welded above the frame,many those bars pass between the upper seat back and the bottom seat cushion near where the seat belts...

I have the same style seats in my '68, and the shoulder belts attach to the rear seatbelt mounts near the trans tunnel. They have a quick disconnect feature in case someone needs to sit back there. I bought them from the place I sourced the seats. They make for a nice restraint system consisting...

Found this 1968 Barracuda convertible about 8 years ago. It's a rust free, slant 6, automatic car with 75% original paint remaining. Since then, I've put 4 wheel disc brakes, sub-frame connectors, chassis stiffening kit, Koni shocks, front and rear sway bars, bigger torsion bars, stiffer rear...
