    Hi Geof.
    Came across an old post (2008) where you had the trim for a 67 Cuda Notchback w/ vinyl top. Do you still have it on a shelf?
    Thanks, Raymond

    Thanks Geof,
    The best thing at the moment for me is to source the parts individually as I am in the process of buying the bare 67 disc spindles from someone. What I need help with are parts like the hubs and brake line brackets (small stuff). I can get the kelsey hayes calipers, discs and brake lines from ebay or suppliers, no problems. I'm stuck what to do about the hubs. Do you know if the drum brake hubs can be pressed off and used for the disc hubs?. Do you know anyone who has a donor car with the disc setup? Not worried about the recondition side of things as the KH calipers are the same as 65-67 mustangs and those parts I can get here in South Australia.

    Thanks for the follow up on the fenders, I can repair a flange easy, its the overall contour especially on the fwd side that is tough

    Money is sent for hubcaps. Wouldn't happen to know of any drivers side fenders for sale for a 68 barracuda, I can do rust repair, but mine the front was crushed, could only restore contour so much but the amount of bondo required will be too thick. Daniel

    Geof, Do you have a spare horn switch that will fit a 1966 Barracuda 3 spoke steering wheel and lock on a metal horn button? I acquired a sport/ rallye wheel and restored it and I also located a metal Valiant logo horn button but I have not been able to find the correct horn switch that includes the intregal lugs that lock on the horn button. If you do not have a spare horn switch, do you know some one else that may have one? I definitely WTB one because that is all I need to finish the interior work on my Barracuda. Thanks, 66moparrerun/ Steve Laker

    Geof, the St. Regis is an R-body. It had a Chrysler twin in it's initial run badged the Newport. Plymouth eventually added the Gran Fury badge. Underpinnings are more along the lines of the B-bodies of the year, with the horizontal torsion bars and the bigger rear, the 9.25, available, unlike the M's.

    The plus side is: the availability of some of the upgrades. Just like everything cop package that Chrysler offered, bigger was better. The 9.25 was available, as well as bigger sway bars, bigger brakes, etc. Unlike the M's, too, where the axle ratios were rather anemic (2.94s and 2.26s, being the most common) the cop package R-body was standard with 3.23's.

    These cars were great handlers at high speeds, brakes didn't want to fade. The engines and transmission were what you expect from Chrysler but they did have some electrical issues. So you need to be careful of the some of the peripherals associated with the cars.

    Happy building!

    Looking forward to see the sway bars on your 66 Barracuda, You will flip when you drive it with them on, Heck just the rear will make a big difference or just the front alone :happy10::happy10:
