Another Mopar Off My Bucket List - Barracuda Fastback
- And more expense. Quite honestly, I struggled for so long just trying to make ends meet that I was unable to afford putting money into these vehicles. - So they sat and deteriorated. With trying to juggle so many projects I have to be wary of how much time I can afford to put in them too. As much as I like doing all of the work myself, I don't have the building or equipment to do it all. And I sure don't have enough money to farm out very much work either. It's sort of a balancing act.
I finally figured out where each of those fender stripes belonged. It took awhile as I test fit each one on each fender. They are supposed to be 'Authorized Restoration' parts by Chrysler but they still seem to fit a bit strange. I did the best I could with the first one. In case you're wondering, my original stripes did not extend all the way to the bottom of the fenders so that's the way I attached this one.
The instructions had #1 labeled correctly. The other 3 were wrong. After moving them around several times I'm confident that #1 should be on the passenger front,#2 on the passenger rear, #3 on the driver front, and #4 on the driver rear. Any other way I tried to fit them was awful - not even close.
