Thanks for the link!  :2thumbs:
BB, mine was heat only, bught the cardboard & the foam kit from seller lorretta fillmore on ebay, wasn't too bad.
A/c box will probabbly be a little more complicated, my 74 has a/c so wait 5 or 6 years & I'll tell ya how that went! ;) Rich.

Haven't had much cuda time the last few months, but today the glass guy came back & redid the front & rear glass. So that problem is solved.
Front trim went on pretty good but I'm still haveing trouble getting a few of the rear clips to grab.
Hoping to get gung ho again in the fall & get this thing on the road, time will tell!

Hey Rich! Nice to hear from you man. Car is looking great. I see you have some new Mopar iron also. How do you like the Charger? My car is still in limbo awaiting paint  :bricks1:

 :drool:  Nice pic of those two cars side by side, been traveliing so much, haven't kept up on here lately. My rental car this past week was a new Avenger R/T, pretty impressive for a 6, it did a pretty good tire screech from the line and with a very close ratio 6 speed auto it ran like a raped ape! Fun to drive.
Your Cuda' is looking great, glad to see it coming along so well, you'll will need a bottle of champaign for it's first trip. You know you'll need to keep this classic thread going after your done. Well, we're actually never done with these projects are we?   :grinno:

Did some major refinancing here to get the car & some projects around the house done, if there's any left the 'Cuda might get some interior goodies!
No worries on the thread, got the 74 waiting in the wings! :naughty:

Wow time does fly by, got back into serious work on the car a month or so ago, doing touch ups, mostly screw ups , but I used up the last of the paint & thats where I'm drawing the line for now, I've got many defects in the paint, in a few spots I actually sanded back to my original defects(were not as bad as the new ones I created) anyway she's a 10 footer, pretty much the best I'm gonna do painting it myself in the back yard!
Have been getting small stuff ready & on, most of the badges are on, front bumper filler went on today along with the trunk seal. Got some new goodies to clean up under the hood, cheapie chrome air cleaner & breather . A new Rad cap & oil fill cap, cept for the headers thats the last of the old rusty pieces under there.
Painted my rear bumper silver & hope to have the bumper guards ready this week sometime, then the outside isdone till I get some bucks for new bumpers!
A few shots of the results! Thanks for all the help & parts, some of you will see yours on now!

Question here, put the new trunk seal in & had to jump on the lid to get it to even close, the whole thing sits up about 1/4" I'm hoping the gasket will settle down???    Rich

Looks great Rich   :2thumbs:  I see what you mean about the trunk seal though.  I sure hope I dont get one that does that   :scared:  Glad you are still making headway on your car.

Actually heard it hiss today when I opened the trunk, I might put a few holes through to the open areas & see if that helps, maybe I sealed the joint too well???
Put on a few emblems (Thanks BULLIT!) today & glued on the most important one, the 'Cuda  tail panel emblem. Almost have the bumper guards ready might put on my "silver" bumper tomorrow!
