1969 barracuda resto-mod ... Several questions! - 07/24/11 11:15 PM
I am currently putting back a 1969 fastback barracuda in F8 Green. I have several questions about putting the car back to original appearance as possible.
1. On trunk latch and other parts that appear to be plated, what is the best way (besided buying new) to restore orginal appearance? It looks like a cast or zinc finish.
2. Where is a good place to buy seals and gasket kit for the body?
3. Who would you recommend to do a instrument cluster/dash refinish?
4. Where can you get the arm rest plastic bases refinished in chrome?
5. Is it easy enought to do your own windshield and back glass install, or just pay a professional to do it?
Some of this stuff I have found sources, but I want recommendations of people that actually have done some resorations, and what companies are good to work with for interior screw kits, seals, etc.
Any links to similar barracudas are welcomed
Thanks
Justin
