Another Mopar Off My Bucket List - Barracuda Fastback
I had planned on replacing the wood support that was underneath the side step plate with rectangular steel tubing. The local welding supply shop did not carry anything with the same dimension as my original wood. I tried to fit a piece of square tubing in the brackets but it didn't work. I ended up cutting some treated lumber down to the dimensions of the original wood.
Years ago I upgraded the factory stereo with ALPINE equipment. CD players weren't the hot setup yet at that time but cassette decks were. I am putting a factory AM/FM radio back in now but I will keep the ALPINE speakers. I will be putting different speaker grills on them that resemble the factory grills that I hadn't bothered to keep.
