1965 Barracuda 1968 next to 1965 1967 Barracudas

@65barracudaLA I just measured the frame rail differences. It looks like the 1967 bumper mounts are about 37.5” O.C. and the 1965 is about 34” O.C. I guess that you can use 1967 bumper mounts and use some spacers.

Maybe the 1967 brackets would match up to the 1965 frame? I’ll go out this afternoon and measure them for you.

@65barracudaLA The 1967 bumper bolts are 16.0” O.C. At the bracket and 20.5” between the two sides in the middle.

@challengergary can hook you up!

They cancelled my order without explanation. It must be out of stock with them too. Guess I’ll try the junkyards.

1985 Chrysler Laser Parts - LOCK - 4054962 I just ordered mine and I will be picking it up at a Mopar dealer in PA. The part number is 4054962, but if you search their website for that part, it won’t find it. I Googled the part number with “Chrysler” behind it and a bunch of links came up...

Yeah, that was me. Here are some photos: The measurement from the front edge of the door is right about 10 inches even. The convex mirror is a big improvement over the flat factory original.

Such a beautiful color in the sunshine! Photos don’t do it justice.

Nice skills!

Do you mean steel sheet metal? Go to Lowe’s, Home Depot, or the nearest recycling yard (cheapest).

First, kill all the rust with a good phosphoric acid wash such as Ospho or POR 15’s Metal Prep.

POR15 Can be thinned (using their thinner). You should try their spray can clear too. Hope it works for you! They look great now!

Yes, there is hope! I used POR15’s Peuclid clear paint on the backsides of my Magnum 500 wheels and my replated bumpers (backsides). That was over 15 years ago and they still look great! This stuff sticks like glue and even looks like it isn’t even there. Applied with a brush and it flowed...

ChallengerGary can make them for you in any size you want. Here's mine:

I made a "U" piece out of unglued 1" PVC pipe that I duct taped to the end of my shop vac and I reached in thru the two under-dash vents (non-AC car). Then I vacuumed full circle around the cowl opening to get out all of the pine needles that collected there. If you also have rust holes, then...

The tail panel on my Barracuda had holes drilled into it for a dealer emblem, but it was long gone. A previous owner added the "Marshall" piece and after I owned it for a few months, I discovered that Marshall was a popular music amplifier. I'll keep it to hide the drilled holes. Only one...

Wow, it looks great Jim!!! Your patience really paid off!

After removing the intake, heads, wires, wiper motor, battery and tray, radiator, etc., I panted both the engine compartment (sprayed body color) and the engine (POR15 with a brush) while the engine block was still in there. Then before putting anything back in, it was either powder coated...

As with a self adhesive vinyl graphic, I would first try using a credit card edge to push the bubble to an edge if possible. If this isn't possible (to move the bubble) then I would use a pin to puncture the bubble and push the edges with a credit card toward the pinhole until it disappears...

I made a J shaped attachment for my shop vac out of dry fitted 1" PVC and two 90 degree elbows. Taped the long end onto the shop vac hose and inserted from under the dash into the vents. I kept turning and readjusting the PVC pipe until I got as much as I could out. Then after doing both...

I like it for the underside.

I couldn't find an exact fit, so I bought an aftermarket convex mirror that was larger than my passenger side mirror and used my Dremel to shave it down to fit. I smoothed the cut edges with my belt sanding bench. Then I attached it over the original mirror face with foam tape. It is more...

Nice and shiny Jim! Isn't it funny how one little job turns into something a whole lot bigger? Thank god it didn't end with you repainting the whole car!

I think it depended on the year (I don't know the cutoff). The 1960s motors were gold in color plated (zinc phosphate?). The later ones in the 1970s I think were painted black.

Water spots are minerals that were dissolved in the water, but when the water evaporates, the minerals are left behind. Mr. Clean had a car wash wand that had a demineralizer filter on it to prevent this. I would guess that the jet dry product might work well on a car. The best dryer I've...

Ice by Turtle Wax I believe. Easy to use and gives a super slick finish. I use it on airplanes.

Holy guacamole Batman!!! Nice job and many kudos to you!
