Agree, the color really standout. I have seen a few very nice black HEMI Cudas locally but not in this color. I think the choice of stripe and color will be important if there will be any.

Installed Grille and started wiring up the dash.
Still lots to figure out.

Man I hate doing wiring.  :banghead:

Takin a break and watch the 49'ers whoop some a$$ tomorrow.   :grinyes:

Boy that grill looks great!
I hope to heck I can remember how to put mine back on(after I fix it), and the bumper too; strange sequence up there  :clueless:

Mike, your Cuda is looking great. That blue is awesome. Regarding the wiring, take your time and its not that bad of a job to do.

The 49ers, well, don't under estimate the Ravens. They whopped up on the NJ Giants back in the late 90s. I was cheering for the Giants and Vegas said that they would win. Well, we were all wrong.
I'll be routing for 49ers as they are Dallas Cowgirls nemises.

Installed fuel lines and the Hemi brake booster is now correctly installed to the brake pedal.

Fuel lines took a while. They were a challenge to get them to sit just right.
Underneath looks really good but that meant the rear wheel well ones would not sit all together side by side.
