A bodys share the same subframe, 67-69 Barracuda's also share the same rear wheel housings as a Duster.

Wow that is some seriously outstanding work there!! That is going to be a killer car once done. Not many of those 4 speed cars survived and the production numbers on '69 340 Formula S fastbacks was pretty low so that is a rare car.
The '73 Dart hood's outter skin is the same but the under hood bracing is different then an original '69 Barracuda hood. Still fits just fine but the two hoods are different underhood bracing wise. Very few people know that and it really doesn't matter but I thought it is an interesting fact.

Nice looking work. Should be a sweet looking ride when done. I did my 67 cuda a couple of years ago and a 76 dart lite for my brother. Thought I was done with the whole body work thing but now I'm doing a 70 duster for my yougest brother. Keep the pics coming.

Looks great. Good work. We replaced the trunk and extensions in sons 67. Got them from auto metal specialties I believe. Very resonable in price shipped to my door.

I didn't notice till he brought it up. Body work looks great none the less. I would not worry about it.
