I’m putting the interior back together and found a couple of the wire-n-fuzzy clips that hold the rear panel molding are dead.
Detroit Muscle is currently out of stock and don’t know when they’ll have them back.
Anyone want to Priority Mail me a couple?
Shoot me your PayPal addy and cost for mailing to 98329 zip code.

Hey all.
My recently bought ’69 Cuda has a big ‘ol stereo system in it that could be nice if I could figure it out.
The PO put a Pioneer head unit in the dash with a 20 disk CD changer in the trunk. A pair of 16″ subs, a couple of 6×9’s in the back and a couple of 6″ rounds in the doors. Backed this all up with what I am guessing is amps and what-not.
The wiring is an “ok” job.
But none of the amps and such are bolted down. I have no clue what needs securing, better wiring, or tossed out and…

Trying to figure this all out (aftermarket stereo system)

Long time Mopar fan, first time A body owner.
Just picked up a 1969 Barracuda that was originally a 318 automatic that the previous owner converted to a 440 auto.
This car is now a part of my fleet that also includes a J body ’82 Imperial, a ’72 D300 truck and a C body ’66 Newport.
Other than cleaning it up some and fixing a few things the Cuda is a “Roadkill” car that maybe someday I’ll fix the body and paint it, but for now I love it as a rat rod muscle car.

Hey all.
Going to be bringing home my new (to me) ’81 Imperial next week and I know I’ve got issues with it.
Some time in it’s past a previous owner yanked the FI and put a 4-bbl on it (plus the Lean Burn got tossed for a Mopar electronic distributor and orange box). He had the presence of mind to label some of the wiring but didn’t do this work with the digital dash in mind.
So now I have a running car with no gauges/speedo/etc. It all lights up but that’s it.
I know I can just yank…

FI is long gone and dash don’t work

I will admit I am totally unfamiliar with the funky (to me) torsion bar set up that the Imperial/J-body has. Worked on many B-bodies and done my fair share of cutting front springs and/or installing lowering spring.
How does someone lower the J-body design (if it’s possible)?
I don’t want anything drastic. Just an inch or so.

TIA

Working on the Imp today and starting to look at the mess that is the wiring.
Look at picture #1 and you will see how it looks.

For clarification; the yellow wire starts and ends within the yellow circles. It clearly was …
