    I am always impressed by the level of talent of so many members on this board.  Makes me wonder if an idiot like me could take ten years or so to rebuild my rust bucket.  Great work.   :clapping:

    Thanks for the kind words guys.  I have finally finished polishing all the stainless steel trim.  That was a long and dirty job.  The stainless trim is now installed around the the front and rear glass as well as the side glass.  Side glass weatherstripping is also in.  Now its time to try and align the side glass.

    I finished polishing the stainless steel trim. The trim has been installed around the front, rear and side glass. The top of door trim was also installed. The door weatherstripping has been installed and the side glass aligned. Windshield wipers were installed and the wiper motor and mechanism tested OK.  Front interior panels have been cleaned up and installed along with the door handles, window cranks, etc.  I gave up fighting with the wrinkled shapeless Legendary carpet and ordered a new carpet from ECS.

    The Cuda is done.  Entered in a local Rodarama with some of the other club cars and it won first place for 64-72 muscle cars.
