Thanks, that makes more sense as one of mine was straight and the other was bent at both ends

In reference to the dash pad … So no one sees a problem shooting a solvent based vinyl paint over a water based finish?

Thanks for everyone’s input. I think the dash pad was refinished with a water based paint as Isopropyl alcohol softens the finish. Can I spray the solvent based plastic paint on it or should I use a non-etching primer first?

My plastic heater vents are chalky so I’ve gently sanded off the chalk the best I can but it’s impossible to sand into all the crevasses. The paint shop recommended SEM flexible coating paint. Do flexible paints stand up well to heat? The can instructions call for an “appropriate adhesive...

My ashtray was rusty so I dunked it in acid for a bit so the rust has been eliminate (except for the flash rust). Unfortunately the retaining clip didn’t survive. Should I drill out the two bottom rivets to separate it into two pieces before I paint it? The face will be black and the tray will...

Thanks, these are bolt on

Thanks, I’ll go with the left one as the right brace is basically flat

My Braces for my 68 Barracuda are bent out of shape and I’d like to know the approximate angles that each end needs to be before I install them. Does anyone have a picture of a picture brace for reference, or the angles they need to be bent to?

Thanks, that narrows the field down quite a bit! I’ll do more research

I think they’re from a Mopar. They look like rocker trim but they don’t show any road rash.

Thanks, I check with the dealerships

I have a small damaged area on my dash and I was wondering what would be the best way to fill the hole. The hole is about 1/4” x 1/2”, and 1/8” deep. I thought I would dap on a thin layer of urethane glue, and then mist it with water so it foams, and keep doing that until the spot is level with...

Or quite. Mine appear to be more of a right angle at the base. Another question I have is what is the best way of re-fastening the metal base (that supports the lens) to the post?

1968 Barracuda

One of lens is cracked on my fender mounted turn signal indicators. Does anyone make repops of the lens or do I have to buy new signal indicators?

My hinge pins don’t have a groove but it makes sense to have them

Do most members install washers between the hinge and the body’s sheet metal when installing the hinge? Also what is the best way to install the push nuts, and how snug should they be against the hinge? I thought a deep socket might work the best to push on the nut.

Thanks! That should help him if he can’t find a set of trim. Do you have measurements of width and height? Thanks again.

A friend of mine is looking for a set of Barracuda Slickback trim. So far he’s not having any luck and he thought a body shop could modify a set of side trim into some Slickback trim. Does anyone have pictures that show the profile of the Slickback trim? Thanks in advance

Thanks everybody

Do any other 68 Cuda convertible owners have the same thing? I did discover faint black trim lines under all the dust

I've only seen 68 Barracuda trunk trim with the argent center and with the blank trim in the grooves but mine is bare metal. Was there an option without the argent colour and black trim? My car did have the side gills and spears if that mades a difference. I have a piece that is the standard...

You could modify a set of a-body fiberglass fenders and then make your own nose cone so that the body lines flow better. It's a major mod so do your research. Too many purists wrongly complain about peoples mods 'destroying' a car; it can always be changed back to stock. It's your car so do...

Thanks everybody for the tips !!

Which is a better for blending finishes on today's factory non-metallic finishes: one stage or two stage, or do they have the same finish?

Thanks, I'll give it a try and let you know

Is there any way to remove old paint from anodized trim without harming the anodized coating?

Has anyone tried extending the storage life of paints, etc, with a 'finish preserve'? You can also mix up something similar and then pour the gas vapour into the container to remove the oxygen. Finish Preserve This product has become known in the woodworking industry as being effective for...

How about these taillights?? http://www.ebay.com/itm/1968-68-Dodge-Polara-taillight-rh-/261075980484?fits=Make:Plymouth|Model:Barracuda|Year:1967&hash=item3cc95750c4&item=261075980484&pt=Vintage_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&vxp=mtr According to this eBay vendor they also fit 67 Barracudas.

Amazing what you learn on this site. I knew my 68 doors had been replaced but I didn't realize that they were 67s. Thanks for everyone's help
