I’m surprised factories would take the time to repair such a small piece instead of just chucking it into the scrap metal bin.

I would have thought auto makers back then would have been more focused on the “time is money” aspect of the business, and have used only sheet metal parts that came out of the stamps without any damage, especially small pieces.

This corner trim looks like it had a stress crack when it was formed and the crack was repaired with brass. Has anyone come across similar repairs on metal trim?

Tnxs. I was going to use JB Weld to refasten it once I fix all the other problems

Sounds bizarre but I’ll try it on a small area!

The previous owner was a heavy smoker and the stains are hard to remove from the unpainted surfaces. I’ve tried alcohol; water based cleaner; and paint thinner - they all work but it’s a very slow process. Any recommendations for a fast working cleaner? I haven’t tried a solvent based wax...

Doesn’t the baking soda have to be dissolved in water?

Some of the acid has leaked on the front. The dash has been removed

I treated some rust on the interior of my dash with phosphoric acid, and then wiped off the excess before it dried but some of the acid is in a seam. There seems to be two trains of thought about neutralizing it: that it’s necessary and that it’s not necessary. I don’t want moisture in the seams...

Thanks, I was hoping to paint today but it looks like I’ll be heading back to the paint shop on Tuesday to talk to someone that might know what they’re talking about.

Okay, the guy at the paint shop told me to use the acid etch. I would have thought he knew what he was talking about. Thanks

I have a quick question. I was told to use an acid etch primer on plastic before painting but only if it’s unpainted plastic. My Barracuda has factory red plastic trim. Is it safe to use the acid etch primer on it or would that cause the red finish to bubble? Thanks in advance.

I think the horn ring should fit inside, someone could chime in to confirm that. I have a horn button that's in good shape but it's different from what you need.

I have a black wheel out of a 69 Swinger that you could have for $40 plus shipping. It has no cracks and the colour is good

Thanks everyone. A good selection of different solutions!

I have to replace a 2 inch piece that is missing from my console. What is the best way to match the console's grain pattern after I apply the plastic epoxy?

Have you tried it? If you have does it dry hard or does it stay soft? It might be messy trying to re-install the internals if it stays soft.

I want to remove the door and window mechanisms in my doors and then have the bodyshop prime the door, including the interior. Would this be too extreme? Am I better off to paint the interior with POR15 versus epoxy primer? Can the body shop even get complete coverage of the interior with the...

I know the horn button and ring are different between a 67 and 68 but aren't the steering wheels the same?

I've replaced the incorrect dash pad that was in my 68 Barracuda. Someone had used the wrong pad and cut off the ends to make it fit to the lower dash pads. There is no other damage to it. Is this usable to anyone?

Has anyone made a liner out of plastic sheeting (using the cardboard liner as a pattern)?

I thought I'd replaced the cardboard one in my 68 Barracuda

Does anyone make plastic glove box liners for A bodies? All I can find are the cardboard ones

I have a 150mph speedometer that I want to put in my 68 Barracuda's dash but the red pointer is broken off and missing from the base of of the dial. Is this a DIY repair (I have a 120mph speedo that I can use for parts) or does it have to be sent out to the speedo repair guys? If it is a job...

Thabks, I'm sure the refurbishing isn't cheap

I noticed that someone had a speaker core for sale on eBay and the item description said that the speaker core and cover would have to be refurbished. Is this type of repair desireable or do most people go with the repops?? The cone and cover on my speaker is shot and I was wondering which route...

mucho thanks

Is the A pillar trim the same for a 68 Barracuda convertible,coupe, and notchback?

Is there anyway to determine if a used top dash pad is for a 68 Barracuda? Would the length of the ends be different (maybe shorter) from all A-bodies? It seems all the repops are generic A-body. :scratch::scratch:
