Love the car. AARs are what first turned me on to the 'Cuda.

The rubber bumper is a must, in my opinion.

Here's some hidden detail that I am excited about- an original almost NOS license plate bracket and NOS gas cap.. I also have one of the new
repro fuel necks in that are correct finish. Looks cool.
BTW, where did you get the license flap rubber bumpers? Are they the same as some of the interior bumpers?

I just went and ordered a bunch of rubber for my car that was missing, thought I got it all, then saw yours under the license plate.  :eek4:

HELLO!!

Oh there are updates! We actually fired the car up last night! I will post a video somehow in a bit. The car will be completed on Wednesday, but I will post what updated shots I have so far-

As of now, all inspection marks, wire loom tags, interior, console, 4 speed, glass, air cleaner (except for one small sticker) haha, trunk, and a lot more then I can think of right now, are all finished! The car will be ready Wednesday and then enter it's first competition on Friday! (Monster Mopar) - And of course, I leave the country on that day.... ugh...

As far as those rubber bumpers, I actually bought the wrong stuff, I will have to ask Ken where to get them. He ordered a whole new kit-

As far as hold ups, of course my brand new heater core was leaking water, so that had to be changed- not the end of the world.

Here are the updates, and next week you will see in FINISHED!

Very cool! And I do not have wheel lip moldings either... But same car! I heard there are only 28 blue/blue known to exist in the registry. The interior color makes the car look awesome.
Tomorrow it is FINISHED!!
I'll shoot some nice pix.. I have a itchy camera finger
