Thanks, The quarters I got at Carlisle from Shermans the rear body panel came from Laysons before the ball drpped on them . The front fenders where 68's I converted to 69's and the front frame rails and inner fenders are from a 72 Duster. The hood is from a 73 Dart. The car hasnt been on the road since 1976 70k original miles, but life was hard on the poor ole girl.

The trunk floor is the original, I only replaced the inner quarter extensions.

No one is making the trunk extensions for 67-69 barracuda. You will have to get a 67-74 a body trunk extension and modify it.

Thats exactly what I did, My tops where good I only used the sides and did massive fabricating to get them to fit the rear contour of the Barracuda quarter panels. My guess they are for a Duster the tops dont even look like the Barracuda ones.

o my! can mine be next i need a good friend like you!

 

[efriedrich]

I had to use the whole thing the originals were to far gone. I got them from yearone, they actually looked pretty close to the originals on top. I had to trim the lower rear corner and I had to pie cut and add a piece to the front drop were it meets the outerwheel house but they fit pretty good.

[Dusterdude72]

awesome!

love seeing all the pictures too.

Pictures always give me motivation and ideas for my project

 

[Mr Man]

Awesome work and nice pics! You've got some mad skills and plenty of ambition. It brings back good (and bad) memories of when I first tore apart my '67.

You said "The hood is from a 73 Dart". I'm curious, how is that going to work out? Any pics of the front?

1969 Barracuda and 73-76 Dart Sport and Swinger used the same hood. 69 was different than 67-68 Barracudas.

Are you talking about the white one on your posting. It looks very nice, I love the white with black steelies.

 

[gerahead]

Nice work! As others have already said, you dove in and grabbed a fistfull of whoop-azz. I would have never guessed that the Duster sub frame would have swapped over. Love the 67-69 fastbacks, I'll be watching this one. :read2: L8r
