    Stuff i got at Mats and latest upgrade for the 'Cuda
    « on: March 25, 2006 - 09:12:21 PM »
    Picked myself up a few things at Mopars at the Strip this weekend.

    Gotta pair of 26x10 Mickey T's mounted on cop rims, good amount of tire left, $100. Look teeny compared to seeing my 28" tall coopers in there. Local buddy and I will be splitting the use between his low/mid 14sec Van and my 'Cuda. I'll be getting my first passes next friday. In search of abouta 14.0 with the 318..

    As far as the trans back i now have - 3000stall, low gear set in the trans, 3.91 suregrip, and a pair of 26x10 slicks..should get'up ok  :burnout:


    Got one of Scott Harm's (HarmsAuto.com) shifters. Love it.




    Moparts buddy supplied me with a core std dash gauge bezel i am using to redo my gauges. The gauge shown was just one i have around, i'll be putting the 3 black pro-comp autometers under the dash, a matching speedo/fuel gauge up in that dash bezel  :bigsmile:



    And my $75 fiberglass 'cuda functional 6pack hood. Needs some finishing, I think i can probably tackle it, then have it painted  :woo: Black of course.



    Thats about it if anyone is interested  :laugh: Will keep me busy im sure, broke, working all the time, then finding time to get the duster going as well   :jumping:

    -Mike

    Nice score on some cool parts, Mike!  The 'Cuda will look cool with the sixpack hoodscoop on it.

    Awe man its been a long time since i got those. They are polk audios. Need a little flexing of the kickpanel to get it in there. Thats about it, no biggie. I did shim the front part of the parking brake about a 1/2" out to clear the speaker grille. If you need the specs i can prolly find my crutchfield.com invoice and get a part #.

    Ok thanks,
     I am more interested in the shimming of the brake pedal that you did.  Ill have to crawl under tonite and poke around mine. 

    what did you do to shim it out ?    I have seen some guys put the pedal in a vise and "persuade" it over to one side 1/2 inch with a mallet, but I would rather not.  hha

    i took out the bolt closest to the back of the car. and it would kinda swing out some without any kinda forcing. so i took some spacing like from what you use at the alternator. cut it about a 1/2", used a longer bolt, and put the spacer behind the pedal assembly. No bending, hammering, etc.it just would swing out far enough on its own with that back bolt out so i spaced it out and tightened it down  :jumping:
