Need pics of Cowl area under front window for 73 cuda
« on: February 12, 2008 - 03:11:44 PM »
Great site.  I'm a newbie and own a 73 cuda.  I need some pics of the area under the front window.  I'm curoius about the area where the wipers attach and the cowl weatherstriping sits. Can someone help?

I'm also wondering if anyone has purchased the service manual from YO called "73 Plymoth/Chrysler/Imperial body service manual reprint". I need a book that shows me all the detail on moldings\clips\bolts... all the good stuff on the car body..  Does that book do that?  YO said it does.

One more thing, are the front & rear window reveal molding clips really different, or is it just the number of them in the kit that is different?  I can't figure out how they actually hold the molding down without using another clip in the molding.  Can someone help or direct me.

thanks

You can find numerous pics of cowls in the member's restoration section.  I do not know about the YO book.  If it is the same as my original it will tell you everything.  Sounds as if it is the same book.  The clips are only on the car body.  They work as snaps that pinch the molding between the clip and the cars body.  The clips are the same.  The number is different.  I get my clips from my local auto supply paint store.  You may be able to do the same. Here is a pic of a mounted clip. The molding clips where the tool is in the second pic. Lastly, welcome to the board.

Thanks guys.  Lots of work to do.  I have to have the cuda "I call her my girlfriend" done before March 15th.  My sister wants to use it in her wedding!!!!!  Ya I know.....I can already hear you guys saying the same thing I'm saying.  Well... I don't have much of a choice.  I plan on pulling two plug wires off the plugs, so she doesn't show off.... :burnout:

Rare_T_A,
                Thanks, I think I've figured it out.  Since I bought the car in pieces, and this is my first mopar,  I needed to figure out how the cowling area looked under the window area.
