1969 Barracuda 340 Formula S Restoration
When the "domestic dispute" damage was repaired by Norm VerHage, he put on a 1967 passenger door instead of a '69. It fits OK but there are several visible differences:
1. The door lock knob is at the back of the door instead of closer to the front
2. There is a ventilation flap at the bottom rear of the door and another on the front
3. The latch and lock mechanisms are completely different than the '69
4. The vent window handle is different
5. The vent window frame has some small differences
6. The inner door skin is a completely different stamping
7. The outer skin is also a different stamping at the tab for the vent window frame
The door is in good condition, so I'm going to rework it to look like a '69 Door. ie move the door lock hole and weld up the old hole. Weld the ventilation holes. Change the latch and lock mechanisms to the '69 style. {Eddie Combs (barracudakid) kindly pulled a 69 latch and lock mechanism from a door to send to me.}
