This corner trim looks like it had a stress crack when it was formed and the crack was repaired with brass. Has anyone come across similar repairs on metal trim?

The previous owner was a heavy smoker and the stains are hard to remove from the unpainted surfaces. I’ve tried alcohol; water based cleaner; and paint thinner - they all work but it’s a very slow process. Any recommendations for a fast working cleaner? I haven’t tried a solvent based wax...

I treated some rust on the interior of my dash with phosphoric acid, and then wiped off the excess before it dried but some of the acid is in a seam. There seems to be two trains of thought about neutralizing it: that it’s necessary and that it’s not necessary. I don’t want moisture in the seams...

I have a quick question. I was told to use an acid etch primer on plastic before painting but only if it’s unpainted plastic. My Barracuda has factory red plastic trim. Is it safe to use the acid etch primer on it or would that cause the red finish to bubble? Thanks in advance.

I have to replace a 2 inch piece that is missing from my console. What is the best way to match the console's grain pattern after I apply the plastic epoxy?

I want to remove the door and window mechanisms in my doors and then have the bodyshop prime the door, including the interior. Would this be too extreme? Am I better off to paint the interior with POR15 versus epoxy primer? Can the body shop even get complete coverage of the interior with the...

I've replaced the incorrect dash pad that was in my 68 Barracuda. Someone had used the wrong pad and cut off the ends to make it fit to the lower dash pads. There is no other damage to it. Is this usable to anyone?

Does anyone make plastic glove box liners for A bodies? All I can find are the cardboard ones

I have a 150mph speedometer that I want to put in my 68 Barracuda's dash but the red pointer is broken off and missing from the base of of the dial. Is this a DIY repair (I have a 120mph speedo that I can use for parts) or does it have to be sent out to the speedo repair guys? If it is a job...

I noticed that someone had a speaker core for sale on eBay and the item description said that the speaker core and cover would have to be refurbished. Is this type of repair desireable or do most people go with the repops?? The cone and cover on my speaker is shot and I was wondering which route...

Is the A pillar trim the same for a 68 Barracuda convertible,coupe, and notchback?

I understand the 68 Barracudas top dashpad is unique. I think mine had a 67 frankensteined in (the dash has a shallow valley that runs the length of the pad and the ends were lopped off). Is there anyway I can determine if a second hand dash is from a 68 Barracuda??

My 68 Barracuda has the wrong dash defrost vents as someone had to cut out the dash's 'bolt' openings to accomodate them. Aren't all A bodies from 67-76 defrost vents the same? I want to make sure before I order a new set. These vents are 3 5/8 inch wide.

I'm having trouble removing the center rear seatbelt bolts from my 68 Barracuda. The backing plates are not attached to anything so they spin when I try to unbolt the interior setbelt bolts. I ran a steel bar between the two exterior plates to stop them from spinning but I still couldn't buge...

I have a set of front seatbelts that I'm pretty sure are after market (with the chrome buckle). Did the 68 Barracuda have belts like the ones in the second picture (with the retracters)? [/ATTACH]

Has anyone repaired a interior plastic panel that was missing pieces? One of Barracuda convertible's rear panels has a one inch hole that I would like to repair as I don't want to shell out $350 at this time (plus duty, shipping) to replace it. Would something like JB Weld work or are there...
