1967 Barracuda - Fastback
Trying to mount the new rear bumper to the new rear 1/4 panel and it is very tight. Minimal to no gap! I guess I could try to shim it? Any suggestions?
If old legends are true, those old Barracudas used the same bumpers on the front as the rear. Maybe try the front on the rear?
Friend got an AMD 71 Demon rear bumper and was a little narrow. Factory one was a tight too. Just not as tight. Car is 100% original sheet metal no collision damage.
Ok, just went out in garage and measured: 66 1/2 inches "inside to inside" of the frontmost tip that curls around the body.
If it's not the re-pop bumper you are in for some MAJOR surgery.
It would be well worth your time to see if one of your originals will bolt on before doing anything else.
Is that the back of the car? You have something seriously wrong going on. Your 1/4s are way out. You said you put in a rear valance, did you have problems or any weird fitment issues when installing?
Do the trunk and tail lights fit?
My body guy did not mention any fitment problems and I am not able to verify as I believe he is in jail?. Serves him right for not fitting it properly! Looks great though!
