Just guessing here, but with a super expensive rear piece, it must be a 65/66 hard top? If so, the rear is not being reproduced for either year as far as I know. But I would use Steele Rubber products for the front, and pray like hell the rear can be reused. If it’s any other year, Steele is...

I don’t believe any of those manifolds will fit into an early A body and clear the steering shaft and frame rail on the drivers side. Maybe a post from @Treblig can shed some light on this.

The “what’s the biggest tire I can fit under my________” is still raging on, so if you need help with that, we’re thinking of making a sticky out of that. Should be about 400 pages long! Glad to have you back with us, you can relax and be among friends here. Sorry to hear about your trials in...

He showed me the piece, it was either already in production, or he was ready to pop them out. He was just asking me what price I would pay for them, and if his target price was too high. I believe his target price was $189, at the time I thought that was pretty high for essentially what is...

My buddy Tom Weidman was repopping these about 5 years ago. He worked for Mancini and was trying to get them to stock them. He showed me the prototype, but I’ve not seen them for sale….ever. Wonder what happened?

That’s a lot of heavy items, most not shippable. However, there’s a lot of good stuff there, and probably worth the $20k, and enough left over to make a profit. But with the engines, you’re looking at pickup only, unless you plan on a lot of freight shipping. At $20k, I would probably pass...

Naw, but we did miss you! Glad to have you back among us!

This is a Valiant bezel on my 66 Cuda. The inner lip is not a deep as a Barracuda bezel, and it has a slight scallop on that side because the bezel is meant to sit flat on the Valiant grille, and the scallop matches up to one of the fins. I have a couple of undented Barracuda bezels, but the...

That little car sure is turning out nice!

Holy smokes! I say that little red car sure grew up through the years!

Usually, you don’t need any verbal history about a car to assess what it is, or what it’s not. Cars tell their own tales, and anybody with some knowledge of Mopars can quickly determine things like color, engine size, and possible options based on that info. There are clues all over cars that...

My little commando convertible 66 Signet. It’s a fun little car, and I might take it up to the cruise tomorrow evening, it’s supposed to be 71 degrees here. Spring has finally sprung here in the Mitten.

Thats not the way things go in my house. We are a team, and we both do our share. I do most of the grilling, if only because my wife doesn’t register the cooking times and temperature as well as I do. But I also do my fair share of the periphery items as well. I went to school to be a chef, and...

GCAR did mine, and the glovebox trim and A pillar mouldings, which are chromed in 1967 convertibles. He also polished the lenses and included new red and green lenses. There was quite a waiting list, but very hood communication along the way.

So, not the most recent pic, but this is my daughter and I in our FABO shirts. Cosgig and Cudagirl at your service!

You’d be well served using Doug’s Headers or TTI’s on anything you put back in the engine bay. Otherwise that 4bbl will be pretty much a one way street.

If you’re looking for a Fury, this one can be had in Michigan, close to the Ohio border.

Well, I wasn’t going to mention it, but……

Since fenders are a one year only design for 69 Barracudas, and the same for 67/68, they would need to make 2 separate molds to cover all 3 years. Now, the hardest part to find for 67-69 Barracudas would be the trunk extensions, or “drops”, which would fit all 3 years and are non existent in the...

Still waiting on that early A body trans crossmember that Rani sent me about 6 years ago. Should be here any day now! :)

If you get it I’ll put you in touch with the Scout guru, Nick Rayer. He’s been doing scouts for decades now and knows everything about them there is to know. He has at least a dozen of them. I went to school with him and he still lives in our town.

I’m knid of tearing up hearing this, and smiling at the same time. Sad because your Dad is fighting Parkinson’s, and happy because he is fighting. He’s doing your Mom and his family a great service by taking care of things while he still can, and moving his prize possessions into safe and sound...

Wow, great car brother! Welcome to FABO, you’ve come to the right place!

What a great story, and a great introduction of you and your car. I hope the new drivetrain gets done in time for the 66, for you and abodyjoe, it would make the trip much more enjoyable. Welcome to the site, glad to have you among us.

Welcome Racer, good to have you with us. That sounds like a great bunch of cars to grow up with. I’m rather partial to that 70 Roadrunner, but the new Dart sounds like a great ride too. Settle in and maybe share some pics when you can, we would love to see your projects and cruisers.

Those look like 1 3/4” shoes, but since you have disc up front, you should have a LBP 7 1/4” rear, and that would use the more common 10x2.5” brakes. Looks like you have a mismatch there.

Unless things have changed, the only piece available in the aftermarket is the lower piece, which happened by accident. It was Joel from Metro Parts that decided to repop this piece, although he thought that both the upper and lower were the same. Luckily, he had a nice lower to use as a...

One day my moms husband gave me a big bag full of new black socks. I didn’t know what to think of it, so I tried a pair on the next day. Then I realized it…..it must be some sort of rite of passage, the old old guy giving the new old guy his passage key into the realm of being an old guy. I...

My Moms husband has had a lot of problems with his air bag suspension on his new Ram pickup. One thing he has failed dot do is use the “jack” feature, which I believe sets the air bag pressure according to the weight of the trailer, instead of setting the tongue weight on the air bag at the ride...

That’s because early A bodies have both, carpet hood downs and sill plates. That is the carpet hold down.
