Hey great work Tato!
Looks like you have made some real progress on that Cuda. I like the magnum swap with the new intake conversion you've done.

We don't see the bad english, we see the great workmanship!!
 
:burnout: Sweet ride! That color with the black hood looks great! Looks like your gonna have some real fun with that drivtrain.
 
Nice work. Great pics ! No english required. :)
 
Awesome!! Can you flip the valve covers over? They're upside-down. It looks like the bolt holes should still line up properly, even though they're magnum heads. either way, the car looks amazing!!!
 
Thanks friends!!!

the valve cover is bad, i know, but in the correct position i have problem with the AC compress and Alternator, later i like put a new heads, and i think than the valve covers can be in the correct position.

Here on Spain, is very dificulty make a restoration of a car as there, I buy all parts to US, because here is impossible find it. I have problems with the rear windshield gasket, anybody send me a gasket from US but is not compatible, i think than that gasket is of a 68-69 model, because i read than windshield is diferent in that models...

I am very happy than my project is value for us, Thanks! In my job i work with 4wd models (www.eurospare.es), and i saw a jeep commander 5.7HEMI... ahahahahahahahaha, i want buy it, for use that engine in my cuda, anybody knows if is a LA block??? is very diferent????

Thanks friends, and sorry for the languaje

The rear glass in 67,68,69, are all shaped the same. The difference is in the gasket design.
For 67 model the insert that locks the gasket tight to the glass was a chrome look plastic cord. Same as what was used on many trucks.
The 68 and 69 models came with a different design of locking gasket and stainless steel trim. That trim from a 68 or 69 to use on your car is very rare and very expensive. The correct chrome look plastic insert for the 67 gasket costs less and can be found on ebay. Hope this info helps.
 
Sweet, you`re doing a great job with your Cuda.
Keep up the great work.
 
Cuda67Sapin, would you be interested in selling me that steering wheel? BTW, nice job on the Barracuda!
 
Thanks for all!!!

Redfish... Thanks for that info, i bought a gasket but is diferent, i can`t put the windshield, i try with soap, with a cord, the gasket is pefect for the windshield, out of the body ajust perfect, but i can`t put into body, if put the gasket in the body the finish is bad, but, in the front windshield too with a new gasket is prepared for put the chrome trim (i bought too by ebay), for this i think than the problem is the gasket... i am lost....

I contact with the seller of the windshield and gaskets for make the answer...


66340Sedan, Sorry... this wheel steering is very pretty, i don`t think change it...

The engine, have a mopar performance distribuitor, edelbrock 500 carb 4bbl, exahust manifolds 2 1/2 ", the camshaft is the original of that engine, i want try the car and later have a determination about this, i think than this is not the definitive engine for my car, i like put a stroker or hemi engine...

wow very cool good to see a swimming fish on the other side of the pond! keep up the good work! Looks like the shop had a few other American cars.
 
Heres what I see. The front window gasket is not correct for 67 model. That is a one piece self locking gasket ( hasn't been locked in your picture ).
You would use that gasket on 68 or 69 with stainless reveal moldings.
Those moldings can come from any A-body except Duster and Dart Sport and many people do use these gaskets and trim on 67 models. I dont think that was you plan because I dont see the clips that hold those moldings on in your picture.
Now about the rear gasket. That is a 2 piece gasket. The correct locking insert is plastic and look like chrome. It is a little larger than the round black cord so it will spread the gasket out some. The gasket never will completely fill those voids in the lower corners,
To install you should start by placing the gasket on the car and make it look and fit as good as it will in those lower corners while installing the glass working from bottom toward top.
The stainless moldings could be used at rear window also but again you would need to install those clips that hold the moldings on.
The stainless moldings for the rear must come from 68 or 69 Barracuda notchback only. I hope this helps :)
 
Hi Tato, nice car and great work on you barracuda. These wheels are nice. If you want to sell, give me a quote.
