I have the correct blsck and chrome but not the right silver. It serms to be satin not a gloss and very light. Thanks. PS I searched web with no luck.

the section of the car covered by the rear of the front fender where it meets the door had filler around the seams. I could see rust so I pulled this stuff up and yep, rust. got it. The right side has filler but with paint on it. Should I pull that up too for a look see? Also, on the right side...

I was able to get the hood hinges off my Barracuda by prying them off with a screw driver. I tried pliers but that only made them tighter. Okay, big advice question. The hinge consists of a coiled section of flat metal that ends with a piece wrapped around a large pin. I haven't taken off the...

I searched the forum but didn't see this information. I apologize up front if it has been answered already. My hood is off (68 Barracuda) and I need to remove the hinges. I see 3 retaining pins(?) on each side. They are round so I was wondering how I get them off without damaging them. Thanks.

when I took the fenders off my 68 Barracuda, I found a dried later of what looked like tannish colored dried sandwich spread along the edges of the engine bay where the fenders bolt to this section. Was this supposed to be a cushion between the fender and the engine bay? I sanded and ground it...

I am almost done sanding the entire bottom of my 68 Barracuda from fron to rear (including entire engine bay, inner front fender area, the fenders are off, frame rails, floor pans, you name it) and encountered mostly surface rust. Here is what I have not been able to get at, the inside of the...

Mine is in parts so I can't do a good comparison. I have a 68 notch back Barracuda in UU1 blue. A friend has a 67 in B3 blue. He hasn't had time to come by house and we live in different towns. I saw his after it was repainted and compared it to some parts I've taken from mine plus pictures of...

I took my hoold latch bracket out, and THEN remembered to take pictures of everything. I thought the latch and spring went on the right (left faing the radiator) but that does not line up with the hood striker. Can anyone post a picture of this piece in a car? Thanks

According to Year One, a non S model Barracuda with a 318 V8, would have: 1. Barracuda name script 2. Barracuda fish symbol 3. And...the red and black Barracuda V8 emblem Is that correct? I was under the impression that the six banger models have the Barracuda Script and fish under it but the...

My 68 Barracuda came with a slant six. Eventually a V8 will go in (360). I am toying with the idea of making a Formula S clone. My car has nice hood inserts but with no engine callout/Formula S designation. Does anyone make a reproduction of this part? I've found some for sale but not in the...

Maybe if all goes well this summer, I might be able to repaint the engine bay and trunk of the 68 Barracuda. I've done it before with paint from spray cans and it worked okay. While looking at rattle cans on line, I noticed each offers clear coat as well. At what point would one apply clear coat...

My 68 Barracuda is UU1 a very light blue metallic. I'm thinking about changing the color (Q5 Seafoam Turquoise). This is down the road a ways, but when I get ready to have it painted, the more prep work I've done in advance, the less it will cost me. My guess is that to change the color, the...

Not sure if this question belongs here but here goes. I want to paint Mopar valve covers, Mopar Performance with logo and the raised "fins" the same color as the engine. I want the fins, logo and Mopar Performance script unpainted. It seems that paint won't stick well to the polished aluminum...

Classic Industries sells the Barracuda in the circle emblem for the rear trunk lid. My 68 never had one atop the deck lid. I googled images and turned up some 68s with and most without the emblem. Is this a hit and miss option, something its supposed to have, or maybe only for the Formula S? Thanks

I got in a hurry, I got lazy, I got stupid (maybe already was) but I was using my sander and my grinder to remove rust and then paint from the engine compartment. I probably didn't need to take it to bare metal but once I got going, it looked so good. And then the firewall. I got careless, and...

My very faded but straight and solid 68 Barracuda is UU1 light metallic blue. Is that the same as B3 blue? It is so light, I have considered to changing it to turquoise. But, at a recent car show, I came across a real work of art. It was a 67 Barracuda with a 500 stroker motor and the rest was...

I've decided to paint my own cars. I had some experience as a helper years ago and have sanded, taped, primered and all that and I like it. But I want to paint my own cars. Would an electric air compressor, 3.7 hp, 60 gallon, be enough compressor for the job? Thanks for the help.
