1972 Barracuda and 1977 Suzuki TS185 with matching colors. The side panel is original but I resprayed the tank with leftover paint from the cuda and it is almost a perfect match.

They think ALL `70-74 Barracudas came with fender gills.

Shop rates up here in NH are $100-125 /hour now and my buddy was quoted $30-40k to do his Duster but his would need metal and body work as well. I`m glad I can do my own body and paint or I would be driving all my cars in rustoleum spray can jobs as I can`t afford to pay that.

Welcome, I`m just north of you in NH.

Yup, pay with cash to avoid us working people getting screwed more than we already do. I try to tip and pay independent contractors, small businesses etc. with cash when I can.

Looking for a passenger side splash shield that goes under the rear area of the fender attached to the firewall/cowl, decent driver quality. I have two nice drivers side but no passenger one. :mad:

Need a piece for the broken passenger side area of mine, 70, 72-74 will work, anyone have a busted up one with a good passenger end they can sell me?

`70 `cuda front valance insert?

Ya, that one on e-bay is pretty rough. I can get a new aftermarket but figured I`d look for a used one first.
