Hey everyone
I thought I'd add a mini update.
I have had very little time to work on it but added a few parts.
If some parts orders arrive I hope to have it done and driving by May 1.
As the car was missing it's console I modified a auto to work.
I would like to find some better seat belts as these are rusted badly,chrome is almost gone.
There will be some minor adjusting and lots of cleaning to do.
I laid out speaker wiring but havent decided what I want to put in it yet as it has rear defog I may get the adapter panel to have both.

Hey Dave, just wanted you to know that because of you I took my 59,000 mile '74 'Cuda and tore it down to the shell.  I'm picking up a rotisery this weekend to clean & paint the bottom.  Your thread on you 73 resto got me inspired to tear into mine to make it showroom fresh!  Keep up the great work!   :burnout:

Well guys I have some bad news. :villagers:
While I was at the doctor we had a brake- in at the garage the Cuda was stored at, the car is GONE.
The police are trying to track it down but I don't hold a lot of hope.
They told me they found a car they think is mine but could not give me a description so I have to go look at it to claim it.
I'll get back as soon as I can with a update.
