I'll second CBODY67's general sentiment of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it". Rewiring the entire car is probably a needless expense of money and time, with no real benefit if things are working as they should. Doing an AMMETER bypass, and adding headlight relays are probably the two best...

I love the look of the exhaust manifolds in your Barracuda Alan. Is that natural sand blasted finish, paint or "anti-seize" on them? If paint, what brand/make? Thanks!

I ended up using the non-flocked version from Vans that is listed as fitting C Bodies, and while it did fit, it didn't want to stay in place, especially at the very top and after a few times of opening and closing the door. I ended up using weatherstrip adhesive to keep it in place. Are your...

Doesn’t a WWC have a 4” throat?”

Thank you for the updated link. For my car, they only list the exterior colors.

I have the exact same question for my 66 Newport with the L7 red interior. The painted things seem to be a match with "Red Metallic" but I don't know for sure, it might be "Metallic Maroon" . . . and don't want to spend $35 on a can of spray paint that doesn't match.

I ended up using rubber cement on my quarter window seals. They didn’t want to stay otherwise. I still to need to adjust the alignment of the front windows because they want to catch on the new seals when rolling up …. Good luck, it takes time and finagling to get everything working right.

I have the 66 “metallic red” interior, but the cowl vent panels, window trim surround and lower dash panel are all different shades of red than the vinyl. How do I figure out the correct shades for those three items?

Agreed!

We can agree to disagree. It’s less water than if you used engine cleaner and a pressure washer to clean your engine bay. But that’s a whole other conversation… thanks for your comments!

Many steam cleaners come with very small nozzles that allow you to “finesse” your application of the steam in very manageable ways without getting it into the internals of the part you’re working on. It can be done. It’s almost like using compressed air.

Maybe some all purpose cleaner or degreaser, a small detail brush and a steam cleaner. That would work pretty well.

He got it running, who knows how far he’ll take it. These “barn find” “will it run?” Videos tend to run out of steam pretty quickly once the expenses start adding up.

dang!

So, Formal Black cars didn’t get the “blackout” treatment? Just gloss black everywhere?

Some APC and a steam cleaner will get rid of it all. I use a McCullough Professional steamer and some "purple" APC from O'Reillys.

wow, that's gonna take some finesse to get all cleaned up, painted, and reassembled. Can't wait to see how it turns out!

keep us posted, it looks like a useful lesson for all kinds of parts on our cars that have those emblems in various locations
