 I know, I know but if you know me I want to keep it real. Call me crazy. :crazy: :crazy:

I'm not busting on you. I have the repop Cuda handles on mine now, since that was the only way to go 5 years ago. I'm just glad the Challenger people are getting some respect now.   :grinyes:

Shouldn't laugh about the repro handles.  They are nice!  almost better than the originals.  For the true resto crowd I would suggest holding on to the original plastic gaskets.  The repro ones come with rubber gaskets.

The photo below shows the different curves. The Challenger handle is on the left & the Barracuda handle is on the right.

Barry, as always, you da man !  :worshippy   I have been debating on buying a set for my 'cuda. my orig ones are a 7 out of 10, but once the car is painted I am sure they will become a 2  :swear:

 Moparts member 71TA  (James Filmore) is remaking ALL the mopar gaskets in the correct materials, shapes and thickness'.  I will get his e-mail for those of you who want it as I am not sure if he posts here ?  :clueless:

:iagree:

Hope this isn't getting off-topic, but I just bought a complete gasket set from DMT, including these handle gaskets.  They are VERY nice, and fit like the originals.  Top-notch service, too. 

Now I just wish I had known the Challenger handles would become available, before I bought my Cuda repops!

I wish I had know Challenger repos would become available before I had my originals redone.
