Daves69: I believe he is talking about the side panel, not the trunk divider panel. Noisydart: They are a variety of holes. The small ones take sheet metal screws that secure the side panel. The larger ones are passthroughs for the clips that secure the trim strip.

I would think so. When I swapped out very worn buckets for a new restored bench, I gained 3-4 inches in height (this was not a good thing — my hair touched the headliner). A lot of it depends on the condition of the foam & springs — you don't realize how much they sag over 50 years.

I don't recall any tilt adjustment in the bucket seat base on a 67 Barracuda or a 67 Dart (I've had both — my current Barracuda has a bench). I do know that dealers would install wood spacers under the tracks at the customer's request — I had a set of those in a 1967 Barracuda convertible.

Yep, not a 67 door because there is no vent at the bottom.

One thing that can happen is that cams can come loose from the rod and the rod shifts in the end-to-end direction, causing the other cam to jam. I had this issue. I pulled the seatback for access, then recentered and tightened everything. When bolting the seatback back down, there is a lot of...

Right... "removing the seat" is not a very attractive proposition, however. That thing is a beast. A forklift would help... ;)

Ah, is that it? I always find myself having to slide over to the middle to get it to catch. But I’m the only person who drives my car, so I don’t need to adjust it very often. Just when I’m trying to vacuum.

Probably helps if it's really warm. Try letting it sit in the sun for awhile.

The biggest factor in head room is probably the condition of your seat foams and springs. I never had head room issues in my fastback with the original bench seat, then I replaced it with junkyard 67 buckets that I recovered. I had the studs in the front holes because I'm tall, but I actually...

IIRC the carpet is slit to fit around the pedal bracket and lay flat behind it.

Typically, the upper door frames would be the dash frame color — black on a black interior car, navy blue on a dark blue interior car. "White" interior cars were actually always two-tone — white & black, white & red, white & blue (there were no white dash frames, steering wheels or dash pads)...

Why are you saying it was a rear defrost car? Because it has those slots at the base of the window? I am pretty sure they all have slots there. Mine does, and it is not a rear defrost car — I have the window sticker to prove it. I think the only difference with the rear defrost cars was the big...

The big side panel needs to be in place before those trim pieces — see Cuda Ragtop's list.

Well, yeah there is something missing — the long stainless molding that goes all along this edge. I was assuming he hadn't installed that yet. It's a three layer cake — there is the huge side panel, then a whole host of shiny painted odd-shaped pieces the fill in around the glass and down beside...

Hmm, my recollection from my installation 2 years ago is that the smaller shiny black pieces fit OVER the large textured side panels.

Warning: there is a chance that the folding panel has TWO latches spaced about 2 feet apart. This was apparently a random variation on the production line... we have observed examples of 67, 68 and 69 fastbacks with two latches — there doesn't seem to be any pattern or logic to it. The crazy...

I did the same except I cut the new frame out of masonite. 3D printing is a much slicker solution. Cool!

They can be painted using SEM dye. I have a complete kit for dyeing plastic Mopar navy blue that I used for the dash vents in my 67 convertible, now sold. There is plenty left to do your pillars. I could ship you the entire bundle (cleaner, prepper, paint) for shipping cost plus $10 for...

That's right. They made a lot of previously standard features into options on the 69 to try to lower the advertised price to compete with Mustang, Camaro, etc.

The photos show it pretty well. It's a heavy piano hinge with stamped flanges, secured by bolts. The wood panel has steel threaded inserts to receive the bolts. One side of the hinge has a right angle bend to the flange, so it's not something you could substitute with a flat hinge. You might try...

A local upholstery shop would probably be able to repair the springs as well, and install the Legendary kit. I know the restored bench seat in my Barracuda is very firm and sits very high, but I never saw it before restoration so I don't know how bad it was.

That looks great!

To paint the plastic and have it last, you will need the SEM dye products — surface prep, primer and spray dye. I painted the dash top vents navy blue on my convertible and they came out great. You can just pick a dark red to match your doors (assuming you have the factory red paint on the doors...

1967 Barracuda seats. Dart seats would have a metal Dodge badge on the backrest, and a different pattern. Otherwise the same — I actually sold my 67 Barracuda buckets to a guy with a 67 Dart — they needed new covers and he was just going to buy the Dart ones.

The upholstery shop where I sent my back seat to be recovered had a smooth-finished pressed chip board material that they used under the carpet on the seat back. I bought a sheet from them to use on the cargo deck. It is perhaps a fraction thicker than the factory board material, but otherwise...

Watch where you drill... one of the holes is very close to the rear brake line. If you are accurate, it's fine, just make sure.

The whole thing is vacuum-plated chrome, than the black areas are painted in. The lower flat area gets a light argent matt paint, but the part you have pointed out is shiny chrome. I had mine done at GCAR in Washington state. It's not cheap, but it looks factory fresh when done. GCAR can repair...

Yeah, I figured he would have to find another glovebox door... that seemed like the easiest way to do it.

A glovebox lock was a $3.95 option (and highly recommended). You could probably find one on FABO with a wanted ad.

What Inertia said. Because the column is isolated from ground by the slides, you need a ground wire to make the connection from the column housing to the dash frame via the bracket. On mine I think it's the bolt nearest the steering wheel on the passenger side of the column, but it doesn't...
