Here is how I did mine Door Striker post?

I did mine when I was replacing the quarters. I used a piece cut out of the old quarter and removed the cage behind it and welded it in around the perimeter and also with a couple plug welds in the middle area. Then welded the cage back in.

I agree. I have been doing welder repair for 30 years. As long as the liner is not too small you are good to go as long as you have the correct tip and drive roll

Being a convertible it could also be body flex that is keeping it latched. It would not hurt to put a jack under the mount for the front of the leaf spring on that side and take a little weight off of it. I know before I put the frame connectors in on mine doing that would open up the gap at the...

Goodmark panels are better than rust and as long as you stay away from using their body lines they will work. I don't know how accurate the placement of the marker light is on the 69 panel and I wasn't that worried about the exact placement on my 68. If its off a couple mm not going to sweat it

I have done them. They are not perfect but they are better than rust holes. I started off by marking my old quarters and cutting them off with extra left in place. I kept the original top body lines and went from there. I then trimmed the Goodmarks wheel lips to be closer to original size with...

67 Cuda Notchback Hell Cat Swap post 159

Someone on here is doing a hemi swap on his barracuda and has one. I will try and find it. I believe he painted the car gold

Steve mine measured 38 1/2”. They have never been moved so I think you are good on the placement

Steve I can do this tonight when I get home from work

Yes but maybe it is welded and I just can't tell

It looks like they did a decent job or repairing it and should outlast our lifetime. There is not any difference in the striker post between years that I know of. Only thing I may do on that would be to fill in the one spot weld tat it looks like was not tacked.

Here are a couple pics from my convertible. Both are of the passengers side.

Grew up in the north county area of St. Louis and live in Fenton area now

Same here with 03 PT Cruise Tangerine pearl.

I remember seeing this build at one time and if I remember correctly it is a House Of Kolors sunset pearl

Nice progress

Dana does beutiful work but doesn't usually have them reanodized. Here is cudachicks post with his contact info Barracuda Grill surround and head light bezel restoration

So far so good but I have t tested it a lot as the car is still being put back together. It should hold up for at least another 50 years though

What you have is factory. I repaired both of mine when I had the quarter panels apart. I drilled out the spot welds that hold the capture plate on. Cut a larger patch panel out of the old quarter which I welded on the inside and then welded the cracked metal back. Used the original hole as a...

I would definitely install the later gasket and clips. It may take a bit to get the trim but when you find it you will be ready

I looked all over the garage and couldn’t find it. Apparently it made its way to the trash during a clean up.

I will look to see if I still have the one I took off when I replaced the trunk extensions

Keep the original body lines if possible. Make sure you get the bottom tight like it should be and work it up to the top so the fit is good.

If you want to add a little more to ponder take a look a momopars thread on his convertible resto. He used the hartop gasket and installed a modified stainless trim on the bottom Pam's Jamaican Blue Baby

Just because I had the exact same thing on my car. Not too bad of a repair

The washer looks like the one that goes on the door striker. If you check you will probably find the metal is cracked around it

I did that around the radio on my 68 after the first time the system was stolen out of it. Found blood in it about a month later but the radio was still there.

That's a great price. Wish I wouldn't have already patched mine up

Drill lots of holes, weld lots of holes, grind lots of welds and paint. Didn't know how to do mine either but it would up on there anyway. Just lots of time finding all the spot welds and then clamping everything in place.
