I also got my pan directly from AMD, but none of the pics in my earlier post are mine. I just pulled some good examples off the web. Looks like your passenger side pan is original, like mine is. Back when I was doing my floor, I was so ticked off about the difference that I was tempted to...

Sure, who knows, maybe someone at AMD that is smarter than I am made the executive decision to use the newer stamping style because it is a superior engineering design. Just seems a bit odd to me that, within a hobby where lots of folks over-sweat some pretty insignificant details about...

I noticed the issue several years back when doing a driver's floor repair on my Cuda, and it ticked me off. But seems like something that most people don't notice, since just about everyone is still buying AMD floor pans for their 70s.

Here is what I was referring to in my AMD floor pan rant. First photo shows the stiffening ribs layout for a 1970 E-body. See how there are 6 ribs and only the center two are connected to the drain hole stamp? The second photo is the layout used for 71 and up cars, and is the layout used by...

I could not agree more!

I am blown away by this thread! The amount of metal work that you are undertaking, all while leaving the exterior of the car generally untouched is truly amazing. I've been hanging around restoration forums for a lot of years and don't ever recall someone tackling a project quite like this...

I think you are missing the option suggested by Moparlee and me, Stainless bezel Galvanize ring Rubber boot Carpet Transmission tunnel hump

Very nice work! However, seeing this just pisses me off again that AMD makes a 70 model year specific floor pan, but then couldn't be bothered to use the correct stamping pattern for the stiffening ribs.:BangHead:

I haven't taken enough 4-speed cars apart to be certain, but I believe that the lower trim ring gets installed on TOP of the carpet using the four screw holes that aren't used by the upper stainless ring. The upper ring then gets added just as a decorative cover. Pretty sure that's the way mine...

If you decide to build it as a 383, instead of a stroker, you need to be REALLY careful about your choice of pistons, heads, and head gaskets. Due to the short stroke of a 383, it is easy to wind up with a low compression dog if you aren't careful selecting parts. Also be careful about...

BS23 = Cuda hardtop H = 340 2= 1972 model year B = Hamtramck as Xcudame already said

Tough call for sure, but I'd probably lean towards going back to the Day 2 stripes. Either way, very cool car. :thumbsup:

Google Tite-Reach extension wrench, or offset extension wrench. Seems like there are lots of options on-line. An image search may help finding the same kind that you bought for your son. Looks like a neat tool.

Without more information, but taking in account your comment above, I would assume the car is cobbled together with parts for various other cars and may have the dash assembly from a Cuda in it, and therefore has the road lamp switch. BTW, would love to see more pics of your car. I also have a...

No, road lamps were standard on Cudas, not Barracudas. Does your switch look like the picture in the link that I sent? Maybe it was an aftermarket add on? Can you post a picture of your switch?

Hagerty, $283 per year for agreed value of $31K

Off topic I know, but that is a good lookin' dog.

Happy Birthday Terry!!! :poke: Still hoping to get over to your side of the mountains to meet you one of these days and see your convertible . Between this place and a whole bunch of years on "the other E-body forum" I sort of feel like I already know you. Hope you have a great day! Russ

You came to the right place and welcome :welcome:. Great looking car and as you probably already know, Barracuda convertibles are a pretty rare breed. Obviously you can do what you want to your car, but I'd caution you on potentially ruining a BH convertible by turning it into yet another 71...
