 :(
streetcharged, the cuda has slowed down a bit. when i bought the car it was lacking a lot of parts. now that i'm getting into it i find that some of the minor parts are missing and i've had to find the parts to keep the project going. i had drums on the front and the car was coded for discs up front so i went back disc. the prop valve was different so i had to find a 70 propvalve which is a very difficult find and very expensive.  i have it now so i can get back on it. that in turn kept me from installing the engine as it would have been a bear to do the brake setup with the motor installed. hopefully i should have it done by august. will post more pics soon. thanks for asking.
NOTE: anybody restoring an incomplete car as i have, KEEP THE FAITH. its so easy to get discouraged but the outcome will be well worth it!!!!!!  8) 8) 8)
get in, sit down, buckle up, and hold on! see you later, BYE!!

Mytmopar,  sounds like you did have to search for some hard-to-come-by pieces for your Cuda.  Glad you were able to find most of them and are now able to start sticking it together again.  I know how it feels trying to locate parts while still keeping a somewhat fair price to pay.  I've bought about $150.00 worth of parts and I still need too much pieces that are hard to come by.  Does anybody have the dash side plastics for both sides in black?  Lol.  That's how's it's been going for me... ::)  A lot of hours are tied up in Ebay searches for decent parts.  Well Mike, good luck and I'm looking forward to seeing some pics of your completed ride!  ;)

wow, yeah, I'd appreciate that.  Just don't pay too much for them if you do find any.  I am going to make a run to a somewhat local wrecking yard and see what they have for my car.  If you find any, don't pay anything over $35.00 for each.  These are parts I can get later on, if I have to.  I'm working on putting every penny I have into my bodywork for now.  Thanks again Mike in TN.
