Car Came Undone, Need a fender

[Bad340fish]

Hey Everyone,

Well on my Dads maiden voyage with his new enclosed trailer and his race car of 22 years this is what happened. Straps came undone in the rear the car slid forward and hit the cabinets.

Who knows where to get 69 Barracuda Body parts?? We need a Drivers fender and a bumper. I haven't gotten any mopar mags yet to look in them. I just knew there were some mopar fans on here that would maybe have some ideas, or even some parts. I went through this a few years ago with my 68 and parts were a PIA to find.

Of course the Cabinet in the trailer held up fine, a small ding amazingly. Would have been easier to fix it really. Thanks for any replys!

I second that! Would like to know where body parts for these fish can be found. We just pulled our 69 fastback "S" out of storage and are hoping to do a driven restification by August.

If I dig a bit, I may find some stuff around here. If so, I'll post it.

Check Hemmings. Also try Year One in Atlanta... they make very nice repro stuff.

Thanks for the replys. Pops didn't waste any time getting it in the body shop. Happend on friday and he took it in on saturday. Body man was not afraid of 20 year old Candy Apple Red over silver at all. Seems he is going to repair the fender thats on it. Thanks again

I found that a couple of online places have catalogs that have numerous body panels, but no fenders listed. Good thing he can fix yours.

I have learned that A-body Cudas were somewhat forgotten in the resto buisness. Really the only parts available are the parts that also fit the Duster/Dart/Demon stuff.

I was scanning another catalog tonight... found fibreglas fenders. If interested, let me know.

Guys, I'm at a full stop on the 68 Barracuda convertable. In need of either lower rear patch panels for both rear quarters, or new rear quarters. Yearone and others, (Sherman?) have complete quarters. However since I'm not experienced on the quality of the various repo manufacturiers, I haven't decided on who to go with. Also the shipping is about $125 per panel to central Arkansas. In all cases, it's been to far to drive for the pickup.

And bumpers, need two, this is gonna be a driver so they don't need to be perfect, but nice is good.

Any advise or sources is welcome.

Thanks, Ronnie

Try www.jimsautoparts.com

I have a catalog here from 1997, and he has patch panels listed, among lots of other things.

I also have a catalog from The Paddock
www.musclecarparts.com

which lists patch panels.

Not sure about bumpers. If you find a good source, pass it along!

Not sure on the panels. But find a good bumper shop for the bumpers. . if you have any at all. There is a shop In Collinsville Oklahoma Called Well's Chrome. They did my bumpers each time my car got smashed(not my fault lol. . **** chevys both times hit me). My bumpers are awsome. $100 and they look like new. They were some pretty mangled up POS also.

Sometime in September-October there is a big Mopar race(3 days worth) at Heartland Park in Topeka KS. All the aftermarked places come show off there repro parts and there is alot of swap meet stuff. Its a good show. I towed 5 hours up there with 5 people in a 3500 and it got rained out lol. I was kinda ****** . Anyways, Long enough post good luck

Thanks all, I'll give the bumper shop in Collinsville a call. Had the 340 Duster's bumpers reworked by a shop in Memphis, can you say $300 per bumper. And to my picky eye, they're not that good. They work on a #2 car, never make it on a #1.

I have a friend with a complete 68 formula S front clip he'll sell,,Its off a car that is being used for a 68 SS/AA NHRA car,,Email me and I'll give you the name and number

68 is quite a bit different than 69. 68 is flat accross the top and 69 has a hump in the middle, thanks anyways. Think he might want to get rid of just the grilles?? Mine could use replacing
