From looking at your photos, it sure looks like there is some sort of trim already screwed in place. Lift up the edge of your carpet. There is a short stainless trim piece that slides under the edge of the sill plate and then attaches to where those screws are at the bottom of that panel. Did...

I do! I do! I was just getting ready to ask why you didn't go for one of the reproduction pads for the price. I have their 1968 pad and am very satisfied. Only thing I wish they would have done was make it with the correct grain. For a top pad only like your car has (mine has a two piece...

I'm currently retrofitting my daughter's 1966 Mustang coupe with shoulder harnesses both in the front and rear. I ordered 4 basic retractable seat belt kits and will be passing the rear belts up through the package tray and bolting the retractable mechanism to the wheel well using a...

Actually, only the tachometer numbering changed in 1968. The 1968 speedometer had the slanted numbers like the 1967. The vertical numbers didn't appear until 1969 when they finally matched the tachometer.

Boy that looks familiar!!

I ended up having a professional come and do my headliner at my home. The complex curves and the steam machine he had along with the professional glue and the experience were priceless. If you go to my website, http://robs68barracuda.com/ click the link to Restoring Pt.2, I have a couple of...

Oh yeah! Very nice. Are you planning on replacing the interior pieces? You may consider going ahead and converting to the deluxe interior if you are going to put in all new pieces. Legendary Interiors does a really nice job on their stuff. I personally like the standard interior. As for...

http://www.jefframin.org/barracuda.shtml has a pretty good website showing his restoration. Like my car, he has modified some of the things for enjoyment and for cost savings... Between his site, mine, and others here, you should have some good reference for your restoration. Feel free to...

The interior side of the trunk panel is carpeted, the back side is a flat black "paint" that is kinda textured (almost like an undercoating). There is metal trim (painted same color as metal on dash) that goes around the top and sides. Still working on that. Gotta make a new drop down panel...

I failed to mention that the texture on those side panels is actually in the vinyl overlay, not the metal. If you sand it, you ruin it. If it is peeling, there isn't a good way to get it back down. If you are lucky to find a set that is unscratched, then you dye it like you would the dash-...

The sides being carpeted was part of the deluxe interior. If you have standard interior and yours were not originally carpeted, then that is correct for your car. Look at my photos.. I actually added the carpet because the vinyl textured overlay was scratched to the point it couldn't be fixed...

I used a roll out roof repair product from Lowes that had an aluminum backing. It was butyl rubber and thin. Looked very similar to the aluminum backed dynomat with no bad smell. It was thin enough to put under my carpet and still use the attached factory type backing. Cut down on sound and...

Hmmm, after looking a little closer, I have to note that the 1970 belt is different than my 68-69 belt. There are two buckles at the seat instead of the shoulder harness having a buckle. The plug end is a little different too. Now that I look at it, that first link looks like it may work well...

The first set you showed are the flip up buckles which are closer to being correct for your car if you adjust the length of the shoulder harness. It could be done by an upholstery shop.. The second set are the newer pushbutton style and would work, but wouldn't be correct for your car.... You...

A-body belts (at least the shoulder harnesses) are a little shorter than the B-body belts. They are also constructed slightly different from what this e-bay link shows. For a shoulder harness car, the front seat lap belts consist of actually two belts sewn together. They bolt together on the...

Another option.. try going to your local pet store and look for a urine neutralizer for dogs/cats or even rodents.

Febreeze in the cowl area? Spray it in the outside cowl while the heater fan is running to try to get it misted on all surfaces.... If you have a younger kid with a small arm, you may be able to get them to reach farther in the cowl area through the vent to get out more material. Is the...

Whoops... just read that at 0 it reads 10... It shouldn't. Sounds like a speedo problem. May be worth pulling out and cleaning/inspecting what is going on. It would be a good time to clean up/replace your cable too.

You need to change the nylon gear in the transmission to one with a different number of teeth. There are charts based on rear end gear to get your close. Is your speedomenter original? Have you updated your rear gears? Has it always been like this? What gear are you running?

The speedometer works by rotating (spinning) magnets outside a can like item that has the needle attached. You can see that here. Those spinning magnets do not touch the "can" that the needle is attached to. The magnetic field is what pulls the needle to its position. If the magnet is...

I have had great success on the hidden parts by applying the POR and then while it is still tacky, top coat it with rustoleum spray in the color of choice.

Black interior is easy then. No problem about finding seatbelts, carpet, etc. in the right shade. I have seen a black/white combo (kinda like my burg/white interior) that really looked sharp.

Carpet is ACC carpet, but I bought it through http://www.stockinteriors.com/ . They will send you carpet samples if needed. That company was cheaper than ordering straight from ACC. The carpet comes with a plastic style backing and is molded. The mats are made from the same carpet and have the...

1968 A-body belts has the aircraft style lift up buckle that was painted to match the webbing. You can get a full reproduction set of lap belts from PG Classic. They will be cheaper than having Ssnake-Oyl fix up an old set. I had them do mine and I'm very happy, but I also had burgundy...

My seats have the same issue. The left side of the passenger seat rubs the hump. The seatbelt even gets caught in it on occasion. The original hinge cover was bent and cracked from the close quarters.

Get your paint store to add the flattening additive to your paint. It will work. I did it for my interior parts. Keep the rest of the formula as is (including the metallic). Don't be skimpy on the additive or it will be more satin than flat. Look at this picture of my kickpanel. The...

Oh, I had them mix up the vinyl die in the same marroon formula for my dash pad and my steering wheel. They turned out great, however, I should have added a slight bit more of flattening additive to the dash pad- now it looks like I have it armor-all'ed.

It comes down to flattening additive. The interior maroon has 2 main shades- gloss (for doors and most of the interior trim) and flat (for dash, interior window trim, and cargo sides). Both use the same formula (which is really the same Maroon as the exterior code). Just experiment with the...

I love the white seat belts. The interior looks great. I have had two sets of legendary seat covers on my Barracuda. I replaced the front seats in 1986 and they lasted the entire time. They didn't yellow, but did show a little wear for the years of actually driving the car. My second set...

Yeah, they did a really great job! I have seen several attempts to cover dash pads that didn't turn out so great. I like the stitching.
