My First Mopar- 1966 Barracuda project

I must be missing something, why didn’t you just use the Baracuda a/c dash instead of carving it up and grafting the bits to the Valiant dash ?
That said your doing great work on this project.

BTW you might want to raise the location of the gas filler to avoid fuel sloshing down the side of the quarter when doing hard right turns and it would make refueling easier also.

Where are you mounting the fuse block , headlight and wiper switches ?

Keep at it .

Thanks!

The original a/c Barracuda dash was rotted on the bottom and part of the top due to rust holes in the a pillars by the windshield that allowed water in that just pooled up for decades. I used the good metal out of the original and grafted it on to the deal I found.

With the gas filler, I have a vitrion o-ring billet gas cap that should seal up nicely to prevent the overflow. (I hope.)

I have the stock harness, but I might just go all new blade style universal type harness and mount it where the stock was. I have the old part of the original dash for a template for the wiper and headlight switches, they will be going in the stock location on the dash. I just haven’t cut out the holes yet.
