back on all 4!

I installed the headliner (Its wrinkle free now that i used the heat gun and installed the sunvisors and rear view mirrior) I also installed both doors tail lights and dash. The next thing on the list to intall is the rear windshield then the rear quarter windows, Starting to get some steady progress






Treated the rust cleaned it and brush it flat black (the underneath of the dash) when it gets warm im going to spray the front part of the dash semi gloss.







This was when i was fooling with colors i finally decided on PlUm cRaZy

I really hope this doesn't come off harsh, I know you're excited, but I think you're getting a little ahead of yourself by working on reassembly. When do you plan to repair the rust on the quarters?

Honestly, I'm really trying to give you some good advice here, I know your budget is tight (everyone's is) but you'll be far money ahead if you focus on one area at a time and work through your list of things to do. Now that you have the car in primer, you're going to need to remove the primer and re-prime when you fix the rusty areas.

I hope you take this to heart, I know what it's like to be a young kid and excited about a project, but going about it methodically will save you a pile of cash and headache in the end....

I reupholstered the back seat with the original vinyl after welding a new frame for the back seat.





Done!







I picked this dash pad up at the junkyard for 10 bucks! it came off of a 1975 plymouth scamp and it fits on my 1967 rally dash perfect I just need to re die it black it doesnt have any tears or crazcks!

Sweet-looking project so far!!

nice progress!

[1967Barracuda]

completley stripped the underside of both fenders and painted semi gloss black, tore the engine out and stripped the front clip and primered. I installed the driver side fender for the last time and really sealed it up good. Next thing on the list is to finish the sheetmetal work on the firewall then install the Dash and everything that goes underneath it. Gunna take a break for now though!

I haven't been on the site for a while however, I'm returning back.

• A few things I have progressed on are that I finished fabricating the seat brackets inorder to mount the Summit Sport seats. They came out great, All features of the summit sport seats work as they are suppose to. They recline/decline as they should and the sliding tracks to adjust seat position work aswell. I was worried about this with the customized seat brackets I came up with but, I'm happy with the results. I used two sets of bench seat mounts from a 1970 chrysler (C- Body), Shaved them smooth and then mounted the sport seats to them mounts via Grade 8 Hardware. Also would like to add that with the C-Body bench seat tracks floor panel modding was unnecessary, minus drilling mounting holes.
• I have removed the entire front suspension in order to swap it out for an RMS AlterKtion this summer

• I finished the headliner installation it came out great, very happy.
• Mounted my ididit steering column,

Im going to start working back on the car this summer, I'm starting the summer project with welding rotted sheet metal on the floor (major) & engine compartment (very minor). Then my next part of the plan is to install the AlterKtion Front end and will take the project from there.

[Rols574]

just my opinion, but those seats are too high. they almost touch the roof. Can you chop some inches off?
