I purchased the XV belts for my bench seat 68 Barracuda. Here are my comments. 1. The retractor that bolts to the floor won't fit between the seat and rocker. I had to weld in a new mounting point into the rocker about 8" back from the stock position. 2. The inner belt is way to long and...

I used SEM vinyl and plastic dye on velour seat covers and it worked fine and lasted for several years until new seat covers were in the budget. It makes the velour a little stiff and scratchy but softened up over time.

There are threaded inserts in the side of the rockers and the side of the tunnel for the front belts. You need to remove the bottom of the back seat to get at the inserts for the rear seat belts. AS far as finding them: you can remove the scuff panel and peel the carpet back to fin them. The...

Not true! I dyed the entire interior including the seats of my Barracuda from medium blue to black with SEM vinyl dye and the seats held up fine. The only area that ever showed any signs of wear was the piping on the edge of the seat where I slide my fat butt in an out. In that area I just...

Yep Legendary here too. The thing to do is wait for one of the 20% discount coupons from Year One and order it from them and save a few bucks. Tip when it's time to install; put each piece in the dryer for 5 minutes just before you install it. It is like night and day how much easier it is to...

I have one in my 68 Cuda and it has been there since mid 2000 and has seen 65K+ miles. I daily drive it from March to the first time the roads are salted in the fall so it sits in the sun most days. It has not cracked, faded, warped or otherwise done anything to detract from its appearance...

I used carpet jute under mine. I also have the jute under the rubber mate in the trunk and on the seperator board between the seat back and the trunk.

FYI, one summer in high school I worked for a company that made plastic ornaments and novelty items many of which were "chrome" plated or partially plated. I worked in the plating area. The way it was done was the parts were masked as necessary and were mounted on open frames so that the...

Back in 2000 I dyed the entire interior of my Barracuda from Blue to Black with SEM Landau Black vinyl dye with the exception of the headliner and carpet. About a year latter I was given a new front seat that that didn't have any broken springs and had perfect white upholstery. I dyed it black...

There are four bulbs that illuminate the gauges at night they are a 9 and 3 on both the pods. The inboard one on each pod illumate the small center pod where the tach, clock or vacuum guage would be. If they are all out it's likely the reostat in the light switch is bad. You can put a jumper...

I purchased the XV belts for my Barracuda. I have a bench seat and ordered that version. The inner belt that bolts to the tunnel was way to long, the buckle wound up in the center of my gut. The inner belt does not come with any kind of sleeve to keep it from twisting, I got some from the junk...

As I mentioned above I dyed a white bench seat black for my Barracuda. That seat was in the car for three years and close to 20,000 miles. The only place the dye rubbed off was on the piping on the drivers side where I slide my fat butt in an out. And as I mentioned it is an easy and simple job...

I dyed the interior of my 68 Barracuda from blue to black, everything but the carpet and headliner which I replaced with new blocak ones. I even picked up a front seat that was white and dyed it black. 10 years and 63,000 miles later those dyed door panels, visors, kick panels dash pad are...

SEM Ladau Black is much more natural looking (less glossy) than Duplicolor. That being said I dyed a white front bench seat black with SEM, it lasted for several years only requied touch up on the piping on the edge of the drivers side. Most people couldn't believe it was dyed. The key is to...

Here is a set of generic Summit Racing digital gauges. The only gauge where you may need to have some sort of adapter to connect is the speedometer and they are available from the manufacturers of the gauges. Tach, oil, temp, voltage are all generic and these look like your orignal post. You...

Those look like off the shelf digital gauges that have custom faces to fit the dash bezel, electrically no harder to install that any analog after market gauge.

I got a white on black kit from whitegauges.net to freshen up the dash on my barracuda. One note of caution if you have the ralley dash. The kits come with both the 120 and 150 mph speedo decals but both were die cut for the trip odometer, as far as I know the 120 speedos didn't have the trip...

If it is the perforated vynal coated cloth it won't shrink much. Of all the things I did on my car that is the one I wish I had paid someone to do. 10 years latter I am still looking at some wrinkles that I could never get out.

Anyone of the materials that go under the carpet, even jute, have the potential to trap moisture so I would be looking to fix the leaks before putting down a noise deadener. That being said I used a rubber like material that goes down under roofing for the first few feet that acts as a water...

I put the factory reproduction tach in my 68 Barracuda. I got it from Year One. If you wait for one of Year Ones discount coupons it will be $20-$30 less than Herb's price, otherwise the same proce.

On my 68 Cuda Coupe they were right above the junktion of the front and rear winows. The bracket was not drilled to size. I used some shoulder bolts from McMaster Carr. Also, the recoil mechanism for the belt would not fit in the stock location, not enough room between the seat and rocker. I...

I have tried the black Duplicolor when the SEM black was out of stock at my local part store. The SEM looks much more natural than the Duplicolor. The duplicor has too much gloss.

I used SEM to dye white seats black. It held up for two years (20kish miles) until the stitching started to fail and I purchased new seat covers. The only place it would wear off is the is the piping on the edge of the seat where I slide my but across every time I got in/out. A quick clean and...

I dyed the entire interior except for the carpet and headliner from blue to black in 2000. I have since replaced the front and rear seat covers with new not because the dye came off but the stitching finally gave out. The arm rests, door panels and dash pad look as good as the day I did it back...

I painted the top & bottom of the doors and the upper panel in the rear on my 68 Barracuda the same Sublime as the outside with the rest of the interior black. I think it brightens up the interior. Not the best picture but there is a shoot of the upper door on my web page in my signature line.

Year One is a Lengendary dealer and when they have one of their 20% off coupons out that is about the best deal you will find.

It would be weird if they didn't. Can't imagine there is a bigger demand for lavender background than black. I did notice they didn't fix the trip odometer cut out issue with the 120 mph over lay.

I got a set from these guys www.whitegauges.net The set was for all A-body Rally gauge clusters and came with overlays for the Speedo, tach, oil, temp, fuel, clock vacuum gauge. There were two speedo overalys for 120 and 150 mph speedos. The only issue on my 68 Cuda is I have a 120 speedo and...

I think you will find that the only difference between an A-body shifter and a B-body shifter is the handle. The adapter that allows it to mount to the tranny is going to be the same. To use the pistol grip B-body handle on an A-body console car you will have to do your own cutting, welding...

John, Thanks a bunch. I sent you a PM with my address. If you get up the Boston way let me know and I will buy the beers! :)
