Another Mopar Off My Bucket List - Barracuda Fastback
Well, I got back from picking up the roller cover. I paid $225 for it and it cost me about $25 in gas to go get it. I hope I haven't wasted my money. I'll have to do some measuring to see how much I'll have to narrow it to fit my box. A custom made roll cover was way out of my price range. But if it doesn't work, it's an expensive addition to the iron pile.
I haven't cleaned it up yet. I already know that the length should work. It's the width that needs to be changed. I need to be 9" narrower. After I get all of my measurements taken, I'll have to start taking it apart to see what is inside the box (springs, shaft, etc...) and figure out if narrowing it is viable. The aluminum structure beneath the vinyl doesn't look too hard to cut but I'll have to determine how that vinyl is attached to it also.
