Yes, protective body side mouldings are very hard to find! And when you do find them, pretty expensive. The option was V5* where * is the color.

If you don't mind spending a little more money, Ever cost Rage Ultra is actually a little easier to sand and is more flexible than regular Bondo. Since the seem between the quarter and roof is pretty long, a more flexible filler might be better.

I have not used Huge's kit, but it will work. Actually I like the idea of using the 85 water pump housing. It will make the engine look more like an original instead of later model magnum. Stealth! 😁

It looks like a "6 of one, half dozen of another" at witch way you install the harness. Removing four wires from the connector isn't too difficult. On a side note, I'm kinda envious neither one of my E-Bodies have cruise control. Even my 64 Imperial is sans cruise control. Sigh!

Right, E-Body columns are more modular.

Rock Auto has fuel tanks pretty cheap. https://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/plymouth,1974,barracuda,5.9l+360cid+v8,1228913,fuel+&+air,fuel+tank,6268

I believe you're on the right track with having to disconnect the plug and run the wires through and reinstall the plug. PITA, but the factory manual shows dashed lines between the wires and plug.

I've had great success with Inline Tube for multiple Mopars...

The package tray can actually be put in anytime before the rear seat back, but before the rear inner window trim might help position the trim. Hard headliner would have been easier before the windshield, but should slide in with the door and quarter windows down.

Unless I missed something, I thought it is a 74 Barracuda and it would have the ECS tank. The supply tube is 5/16" ID and the return line is 14" ID. Should work great with a Holley electric pump and the regulator he is looking at. 🙂

@pschlosser I agree with everything but carpet first. I'm older and my knees appreciate the extra cushioning from the carpet! 😁

Gran Coupe Plymouth Barracuda and SE Dodge Challenger had very similar options. Cardboard headliner (coupes) with overhead console were similar. On a side note, I find it interesting that Plymouth made the Gran Coupe it's own body style (BP23 or BP27) while for the Challenger it was an option...

You know they built them that way from the factory in the 70s right? If not, now you learn something. I'm sure Brewer's or Passon has the parts you need to convert if you have an 833 without overdrive.

I vote for the 360 roller motor since neither of your engines is original. And I like your plan. It should work fine. Mopar went to the Magnum engines with roller cams for a reason, they're better! 😁

I should add that my 70 Challenger WSS that has the panel on it, cover the actual sheet metal panel the is painted body color, in my case FY1 Top Banana. All the WSS and SE Challengers have a panel that includes the quarter panel end chrome trim.

Another vote to leave you 383 Cuda just like it is the pictures!

As an owner of a 70 Challenger and 72 Barracuda, I have to say the Challenger with its curve in the quarter panel just looks sexier to me! And the longitudinal (or body side moulding) just accents that curve. I actually think my son's 2015 Scat Pack as the better rear stripe.

1/2" sounds about right! Hopefully you packed the lower control arm sockets with long fiber grease and the rear sockets in the frame once the clips are installed. Then the boots, I pack grease in there too! Center drill in the ends are for manufacturing purposes.

If pressed, I'd go with a longitudinal stripe because it really accents the ridge on the Challenger and how it sweeps up on the rear quarters. But certain colors look really good with the "rump" stripe.

Instead of taking the door glass out, I'd spray the glass with WD40 and just roll them down when painting! Then clean them up with Windex. Like @pschlosser said, too many cuts and scraps to R&R the window glass if you don't have too! Heck, don't put anything on the glass, roll them down, paint...
