Yup,  and it had 2 build sheets in it. One in the front bench seat, and one in the rear seat.  It was also painted both types of yellow. Barry has the build sheets. It lists both yellows it was painted, but different vins.

But I did show you the black painted grill with no proof :bigsmile:

Rumor has it that this car is now a numbers matching lemon twist aar cuda residing in NJ.  That is why I sent barry the title, build sheet and other data I got back from the guy that got it from me. Barry has some other stuff about the m46 paint procedure I found under the head liner

I am shy of yellow aar cudas now because of this.

Hey Al,
I do not have that stuff. I think you sent it to Dwight if I remember right? If so he still has it.

He did mail copies of some stuff to me.

Unless something is still in the mail from you, how long ago was it?

Sad to here that it did not retain it's birth right.  Sucks when people take a basic car and make a very valuable car with it.  Damn Crooks!!

I think that was before the Spring Fling show, 2 1/2 years ago now. I talked to him there, but he did not hand anything over. He did mail photo copies of the inspection card & one broadcast sheet that he got from you about a year after that.

I hope we get a lot more input on the thread after the new year also.  I hope to get mine started in the restoration process and the building process soon.  Gordon

Anyone know what seat covers were used in the M46 cars?  I would like to know.   Gordon

It depends on what your interior code is, but they are not "particular" to the M46 cars.

Thanks Barry that is what I was thinking.  They were the most popular style for the cuda and that is what I will go back with.  Just going to be so cool to have it done!!!!

Question for all of our resident M46 Barracuda owners;

Are any of you planning on a stock restoration?

It seams like a lot of the unusual Mopars are getting cloned or customized / hot rodded, so I was just curious.
