That is great news. Do you know him well enough to ask him to join FABO and tell us about them?

Beautiful car. Very nice picture from a professional looking angle. I am guessing you are an accomplished photographer. There was a very similar thread like this last week. I have used Autolite 65 plugs in my 340 for about 25 years. I have a 69 Barracuda with a 340 that has been modified to...

Yummy! I love them.

I have had a Makita polisher like this for about 15 or 20 years. It works great. They cost about $225, but you get what you pay for.

I saw this on Ebay and thought somebody might be interested. It isn't cheap, but if you need it, you need it. https://www.ebay.com/itm/256324705968?norover=1&mkevt=1&mkcid=4&mkrid=711-171271-164161-9&criteo_campaign=373558&criteo_adset=421139&criteo_ad=1738910&cto_pld=Ie1LCWc2AABBwvQ8Ngic-Q

Good job! I knew somebody would say it.

I am not the biggest fan of electric fans for cooling in our classic cars. 1. When I bought a Griffin Perfect Fit aluminum radiator about 15 years ago, I bought it with their fancy shroud and fan setup. I had trouble with the engine getting too hot and tried just about everything. I finally...

That is a good idea. I hadn't thought of that. Be gentle. Nothing at all wrong with the special plastic and cloth paint. SEM is the best I have ever used. On vinyl and plastic, I always use an adhesion promoter and a few light coats of SEM clear coat (gloss or satin) to protect the parts. One...

I think you have the right idea. The headliner is probably clean enough to spray. It's not like people will be spilling drinks on it or dropping french fries on it. I will only say two things; Mask, Mask, Mask and wear a good mask. Don't just wear a dust filtering mask, wear one that will filter...

I know it isn't original/stock, but I used real wood on the 4 speed 69 Barracuda console. I bought a small roll of real oak veneer at Lowes. It was pretty thin; maybe 1/16". I made two one piece templates from thin cardboard. That was the hardest part. Then I transferred the patterns to the wood...

Either repaint the entire panel, touch up the place with an air brush and blend the clear a bit (hard to do, and can possibly be seen), or just lightly sand the place and then touch up with a brush and some clear. The third process is the easiest, and if done carefully, will look OK. I use the...

0.050 on the gap. That seems to work best for me.

OK, here is what I do. I wet sand clear (same concept as single stage Acrylic Urethane) with 1000, 1500, 2000, 2500 and then 3000 grit wet sandpapers using a block, NOT your bare hand. I like to use the softer rubber block like the one in the picture. Stay away from sharp edges with the...

Yes it will work. Someday, if you get the chance, place your 67 Barracuda next to a 39 340 Barracuda with the hoods open. The engine compartments will look the same.

I have been using Autolite 65s in my 69 340 Barracuda for about 30 years. Our engines are quite similar I have a 340 built to about 375 HP, Headers, complete MSD setup (including their Manual advance distributor, coil and wires), Edelbrorck Air Gap and Edelbrock 650 Thunder series carb. The...
