    that cloth-like tape is great stuff.  tough as he11 and looks good too. At first it feels like it will come right off again, but after a while it sorta melts together.  There are several automotive shop in my area, but there was only 1 that sells it...  :clueless: 
    Brad, I plan on driving next summer for sure.... when funds allow that is.... looks like it might happen  :2thumbs: :burnout:

     Really like that color , looks like candy.  :droolingbounce:

     That must be some kinda friction tape hybrid your working with. Forgot the name but I found one similar while doing a wiring job that actually shrink wraps.

    when you get the metering valve installed, and brake fluid in the lines, don't be surprised if it drips some brake fluid.  mind did that until i had about 50 miles on it.  after sitting on the shelf for a while, they can be a little sticky!

    you car is looking great!!!! :clapping:

    the color actually looks more blue in the pics.  It s called Chrysler green, kinda turquoise.  I didn`t think orange would make a nice combo with the exterior.

    yea it did.  I think they may have used a 1970 440-6  B-body donor for this cuda.  Engine internals, cast manifolds, the cooler partnumber is for a 440-6 B. and it came with a B-body dana too.  btw... could that theory be verified by the vin# on the block?

    thanks

    Is there any letters with the vin number?

    That turquoise looks great.  Much better match for the car than orange.

    Looks nice.  Are you going to paint the intake to match?  What are you running for an air cleaner? Chrome? Orange? :)

    Hey Bart,

    It does look real nice. I like the Mopar sticker on the toolbox, too.  ;)

    That looks good. It's the same color as my father-in-law's 383 in his 68 Roadrunner.

    Love the engine.  I was going to say I like your tool wall - nice design with the wrenches.   :wave:
