Alright well ive looked all over this forum and I cannot find any thread on the installation of the exterior door handles. Im about to install my old ones among other small pieces and I was wondering if there was any trick I should know or if they were really just that easy. I could've just...

I bought my 1/4's from summit and the quality was pretty terrible. They just threw them into a box and shipped them. Needless to say, by the time I got them they needed some body work.

Alright, I have until this friday to pick the color I want for my 68 fastback fish. I have spent A LOT of time debating which color I should pick. I have already decided that I am going with the AAR style paint job (aka black hood, AAR stripe, Black 5 slot mags). I have narrowed my options down...

Yeah I was afriad of that. The hourly rate was $62/hr. Im going to call the owner today and see if we cant work something out. If he refuses then im going to have to take him to court >.>

I had the work done at a place called Unlimited Collision Repair in Vellejo, CA. Im 4 hours away right now so thats the only thing stopping me from running over to the shop and blowing up in the guys face. So is there anyone out there that knows of a shop in the central valley? I sail on this...

I just got my car back from the body shop about a month ago. I paid 1600 bucks to get my roof transplant and other misc rust repair. Well as I was working on rust around my rear window (inside) I noticed a crack on the exterior surface from the edge of the window. I took my sander and ground...

By bolt on I meant to the stock hinges. Yeah I should have cleared that up. Sorry.

Hey everyone, A guy I know over here in Nor Cal works with carbon fiber for a living. He just happens to own a 67 barracuda project and would really like to make a hood for his cuda. I share the same interests and have been talking to him about splitting the cost for tools/materials. For just...

I dont know how, but there isnt even surface rust on the floors. I felt like I was in the twilight zone when I ripped out the carpet and crawled underneth. I do however, have surface rust on the trunk floor(not included in the price). Well thanks guys. Ill most likey be dropping the car off next...

Yes the price includes epoxy primer. Its a kind of a big small shop if that makes any sense. Its a father and son that run it and they have about 10 cars in there at all times. SO its a busy smaller shop. The father was really excited when i drove in. "I have seen one of these since 1984!." The...

Alright, after realizing a few weeks ago that I was in over my head with all the body work my fish needs(im a college student), I decided to try and trade others for their fish along with a few extra G's cash. That obviously didnt work. So I took my car to a local body shop here in Vallejo for a...

ok, Im just gonna use 18 gauge.

Im sorry I have to ask this but my car is locked up in the auto shop right now and I cant get to it to find out. I need to know the thickness of the sheetmetal used in 1968. So how thick should the new sheet metal im about to use be? Thanks:salut:

I would never scrap the car. It means too much to me. Ive been looking for this particular car since I was 14 (was passed down the family until my father sold it in 95... only 19 now...so for 5 years haha) The plan is to completly restore the car and swap in a 408 stroker. Im also liking the...

Well the funny thing is that the underside is spotless. The floor panals are 100% rust free and the trunk floor is the same way. The underside of the roof isnt too bad but the rear corners are rusted all the way thru (2 in hole)

Hello, Ive got a 1968 barracuda fastback with some cancer. It sat underneth a tree for many MANY years. The leaves collected on the corners of the roof caused all the damage that you see here. What should I do? Should I attempt to replace the entire roof or just repair the rust on the exisiting...
