    Loose two post

    This is how I tightened my two post mirror head. After pushing in on the glass I removed the locking ring and then removed the glass and spring. I then used a pair on my welding vice grips as shown in the pics to compress the black plate on either side of the ball. Worked like a charm. I didn’t...

    Barracuda tail light bucket

    I removed the lenses from a 64/65 Valiant/Barracuda tail light assembly and noticed a translucent amber coating on the tail/brake light bucket but not the reverse light bucket. It was bubbling and flaking but it covered the entire bucket area. It was not present on the other tail light assembly...

    Two questions, anyone find a late model space saver spare that works with the 4.5 lug space and is there an interior trim piece that goes at the base of the rear window on a 64 barracuda. If there is, can someone post a pic of what it looks like. On the spare, I would like something that will...

    straight axle look

    I would like the early drag look without the straight axle. Saw an article from '64 on the very first hemi under glass and they mentioned that the front torsion bars were raised. Has anyone any experience with this method,how much height you can go, problems ect. I don't need to go as high as a...
