:thumbsup: Looks great! Looking forward to more pics.

If you have a multimeter, check for changes in continuity between the pins when you move the shifter between gears. If nothing changes, then yes, the switch may be shot.

I'd go back to the shift linkage. Something is slightly off and is engaging the NSS so that car thinks it is in reverse.

:welcome: 4 speed or auto? Your car is almost a twin of how mine was built, N code, FY1, black vinyl top, chrome bumpers, but mine is not coded for the hockey stick stripe.

It's a nice clean looking 72 that you've already said you paid too much for. I'd gently close the trunk, keep the car parked in a dry garage, and drive the wheels off of it on nice sunny days. :steering:

Got it. Yeah, you a definitely swimming against the current changing a 71 to a 70, instead of the other way around. Maybe a PNW thing. Good luck with the hunt.

Ha! I can't read. Didn't even see the work "hood" in the thread title and assumed the OP was taking about door hinges. Apologies for the confusion.

IMHO, this is the right answer. That car looks pretty presentable to me. I wouldn't be in a hurry to lock it up in paint jail. Get it running well and enjoy it! I'd keep the AAR look.

Except for the gills (which came only on 71 Cudas, not Barracudas), aren't 70 and 71 Barracuda fenders the same???

No steam. When I first received my carpet I unpackaged it and laid it out "flat" for several days in a spare room in the house, then prior to installing it i laid it out in the sun on a tarp in the driveway. The pic I posted was probably also taken a few days after the initial install, so...

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:
