I have the original 318 in my Barracuda. I built the original engine like this ... 318 Small Block Build - How To - Hot Rod Magazine I went a little extra.. I went with a retro roller cam and Speedmaster aluminum heads (they are 40 percent off for their black friday sale). To make up the...

I found a pic online of a 74 Challenger with white kick panels. From what I am reading, the kick panels match the color of the carpet. Since no white carpet, no white kick panels... from the factory. I kind of like the white kick panels though.

My panels are black already. I did see a car with a white interior and they had white kick panels. That is why I thought they were supposed to be white as well.

I was going to paint the kick panels and the rear side panels as well. I wonder if I need 4 cans? Is this paint available in a bigger container that I can use a spray gun myself?

Was going to ask if the bar was upside down?

How many coats are needed and how long will a can last? Can I get by with cans? I am thinking of getting new front door panels but will paint the rest.

Have to start calling you 'Bilbo' as that is gonna be quite an adventure! Never know what is horded in there, please post :)

I am going back to white interior, which is the original color. I have black pieces now. Which white is the correct SEM color?

What a spectacular treasure hunt that place is... looking forward to seeing the AAR emerge as well.

OK, thanks. I was curious if the back part had any clearance issues. I would get all the old paint off of them and then coat them with some thermal paint. Eastwood has it and they also have a coating for the inside.

RRBBKK - those in the pic are from a stock 92-93 Ram/ Dakota? I thought that had more of a log style manifold. Do you have a picture of them in your car? The ones in your pic look like the ones in my second link. I like those more than the block huggers.

What about shorty headers? My car will be mainly for street, hopped up 318, so I wanted something that will give best ground clearance and not restrict power like manifolds. I was looking at block hugger shorties, like from Speedmaster. Price is cheap. Anyone run these? Here is a link...

I am thinking of replacing my fuel tank in my 71 barracuda. It has 4 vent tubes on right side. I see a holley tank but it looks like there is only 1 vent tube on right side but says it is a stock replacement tank. I called their tech support but he couldn't answer why there was only 1 vent...

Hey MoparCarGuy, I don't recall having those small retainer rings on my pins? Though I didn't look when I took off the old one. I wonder if the new emblems come with those retainers.
