RAD SUPPORTS

[A/MP]

1965 Dart and Barracuda have the same radiator supports?

 

[65 Dartman]

Yep sure do

I can then take the grille work from a '65 Barracuda and mount it to my '65 Dart and then mount the "65 Barracuda fenders and hood on my Dart?

 

[65 Dartman]

To use the 65 Barracuda grille, fenders and hood on another early A body, you need to use EVERYTHING from the Barracuda - lower valence, hood latch, etc. The complete front clip from any early A can be swapped to any other early A as long it’s a complete front clip. Doug Dutra over at .org swapped a 65 Barracuda front clip to a 64 Dart hardtop and called it the Dacuda.

Valiant/Barracuda doors also swap?

 

[65 Dartman]

Hardtop to hardtop Valiant to Dart is fine; Barracuda door skins are the same as hardtops but glass is different!, convertible door skins are the same as hardtops but glass and vent windows are different than hardtops, 2 dr sedan to 2 door sedans and mordoor to mordoor. Make sense?

Saw one of the fiberglass manufacturers and they make 64-65 Valiant and Barracuda doors. Looking for some quick weight loss for my Dart. Thought that I might go that route. Door glass not an issue with lexan replacements.
