I have a couple installed. No idea what brand they were bought at a CA swap meet almost 15 yrs ago. I think their fit is good altho not perfect, but boy are they light. They're currently mounted with the stock hinges so probably one day I'll change them.

I have seen a few through the years, but am unsure of the manufacturer.
On a side note, I am looking for one piece fiberglass front end for a '69 Barracuda

That picture is from glasstek and their features look and not as detailed as the VFN 68 clip.
I ordered the VFN doors and 68 front clip last month .
I will just have to make that little rise in the front to match the hood. I'll take that small bit of work over the sharper detail. I will post the pictures when I get the parts early January
Here is the VFN front

Blofish was asking about a 69 front end not a 68. The grill shape is different between the two not just the hump....correct? That would take a lot of work to reshape the grill opening in the 67-68 front.

"The grill shape is different between the two not just the hump....correct? That would take a lot of work to reshape the grill opening in the 67-68 front."
That's what I was thinking too. But I do like the attention to detail on the '67-'68 piece

I am happy with the quality of my Glasstek front end. It is a 69 front, so I orderd the 69 hood to match...
My car is actually a 67, but at 144 mph, Who can tell
Happy New Year fellow A body Cuda dudes.

If I did not have glass fenders and hood on my 67 I would be buying the one piece pictured above. It looks great. Even though they make the valance and center grill piece in glass now I can not see much weight saving by changing them over and just left the original pieces mounted to the glass fenders.
However the doors would save a lot of weight and I could then use the original doors off the race car for my big block 67 when the time comes.

I have a fiberglass bumper for sale if your looking for one??

Re: 67-69 Barracuda fiberglass doors? - 01/01/10 09:14 PM
Thanks but I already have both front and rear glass bumpers. Doors and deck lid are the only two major pieces left. I am considering the doors but I think I will leave the deck lid steel for the time being.

Thats what she said...... LOL.
It does seem to be well made. one piece with the hood and all. it doesnt look like it was meant for a flip front end because the bumper area is not re-inforced. it seems that it is meant to be like a pro-stock clip. henry
