I love it when someone asks about something I can help with....


I just installed a `74 Duster inside hood release on my `68 Barracuda. And while I was at it, I installed a power trunk release from a Dodge Diplomat.

There was even a hole in the firewall to pass the cable through!

This was the initial test-fit. I pulled it back out and cleaned it up nice....

This was a direct bolt-in. In the first picture above you can see the custom bracketry I fabbed up to mount the trunk switch on the side of the hood pull release.


Hope this helps!
 
That's nice FASTBACK, & looks simple to do. Now I wonder how long it'll be before somebody posts about how stupid you are, what a crappy job you did, how their's is bigger than yours, :bootysha: you painted your car the wrong color, you have the wrong size engine, etc. :argue: :boxing: Then the thread will have to be moderated & on & on & on. Just kidding. :toothy7: It's gonna' be nice when the dust finally settles here at FABO. :blackeye:

That's funny! THIS is what our community work. Interaction.

Although... my Wife has been known to call me stupid.

Among other things.... :-D
 
Fastback....my ex called me stupid once or twice and I usually deserved it.

But after the divorce I reminded her just how stupid I was-I did not divorce her after the 1st affair.

If she puts up with the Mopar thing she sounds like a real keeper.

And I see dust on one of the control arms!
 
See?!?!?!!? I'm not just a sunofabitch! I can actually CONTRIBUTE...besides being a wise-***. Even with PICTURES to go with my advice.

And it only takes me 1 post to get my point across.... :cheers:

< Sorry....I couldn't resist. I just KNOW that knob is still reading these forums >

Yeah, my Gal is a keeper. I know I've told this story before elsewhere on this site, but she almost broke a toe tripping over a driveshaft safety loop.

In the living room....

And as for the dusty control arm, I'm sorry. I'll try & do better. 8)
