Gettin started on my 70 Cuda's
« on: November 25, 2006 - 09:02:58 AM »
Gotta start somewhere and sometime....Here is my first, in a soon to be, series of questions....What book is a good source for part number verification on which parts go where on my car(s)?? Just want to be able to match up the correct part number on the correct year car....

Galen's pocket books for the part and casting numbers are very useful.

:iagree:
The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realize it doesn't say anything it's to late to stop reading it.

Lemon Twist,

I think that the following web site might be useful.  Once you review Dave's web site I think you'll agree.

I hope Galen is faster shipping his books than he is with the rest of his business.   :eek4:   You may have to find another source if that is the not the case.    :screwy:

Trunk pan and extensions, inner and outer wheel wells, quarters (cheap knock offs; very time consuming) have been all replaced along with repairing the tail panel that was removed from the car.

Roof needed some work, and the rust was cut out and pieces were re-welded in, as was the piece beneath the rear window....
My dad and a friend have been the ones that have been working on the car. They were fighting with the header panel, but I think they finally has a grip on it, so to speak. He has the 440 almost ready to put in, but he is still waiting on the body work to get finished up. There was little problem with the door, and the interior floors were in good enough shape to leave. Cowl section of the car was in good shape. Inner fender wells were replaced with new ones, as the old ones had a few minor holes but were more dented and misshapen. Here are some more pics:

Looks like a good start and lots of work going on. I agree with Galen's books but you may want to get them from someone else that sells them as he has been pretty slow at shipping.
