I am COMPLETELY sick of this. Knee is getting better, but yesterday I pulled out my back and pinched a nerve.
My son had to put on my socks and shoes today--how humiliating is that??
1 step forward, 2 steps back--I'm tired of the cliches'.
Getting treatment, and with a little help I may get the engine in this weekend--we shall see.
SHOOT ME!
In the back.
Now.

That cart made me think of a friends current project.
Yes, it is for real, though it is intended to be an advertisement/demo piece for his business.

All new stuff.....fitment issues mirror the original. Pain in the ***, but there is nothing we can do about it. Bolt it on.

Yea it's enough to drive you nuts......it is what it is...my wife's 69 is like that...pisses me off :angry7: I got lucky cause my 67 is 3 piece and you can re-drill holes....it lines up...well it's tolerable.
It still looks sweet and anyone that knows the issues with 68-69 wont care.
3 thumbs up....good to see you back.
Mop.
PS....look what me N my son created over winter

Bumper on and plate--starting to look like a car. Front bumper is ***-brand new--does not fit--not wide enough. Somebody will catch hell tomorrow about that. Progress nonetheless.

Way too much for something that doesn't fit.
MOPAR Authentic Reproduction Part. Somebody needs to grow a brain.
Original bumper was too thin to restore, so I purchased this one.
On to the next problem..... Time for a cocktail.

This repro bumper needs to be at least 1 1/2" wider.
Junk.

the part that pisses me off is that this bumper is a "Mopar Authentic Restoration Product" - Junk! Oh well, a good productive day anyway. Now it's time to go put some miles on the Duster.

Wow, is that re-pop bumper against the body on the sides? How the hell could they mess that up?
Anyway. Front and rear bumpers are the same on 67-69 Barracudas so you have twice the chance of finding a good one.

Yes it is my friend. We had the same questions as you, however we may have used some more creative lanuage. The chrome looks great! Then after installing the brackets on the correct side, we thought that we were on to something. After adjusting everything 27 different ways from Sunday, then we pulled the old OE bumper out of stock. Placed them side by side and sh*t! As said before, it's ***. Maybe David got the prototype.
So we did some stuff to my ragedly ol" Duster and went about our day.
ps: how was your ride home David?

67 through 69--identical front and rear. Called the supplier this morning. They said to throw it in the trash and gave me a refund--the tooling was all wrong, and they don't expect to get it right for another 4 months.
Sucks to be them...
I'm gonna try to stretch this one, and if i ruin it, oh well.
