    Looks pretty nice is that short guy the pin striper?  :bigsmile:
    It's great to have help and short help is the best on most days I love the pictures of my kids helping or hanging out with the car.

    Well we have most of the wiring finished just waiting on the guage cluster to get in to finish up the wiring.  Ive been recovering the seats.  I have ran into a problem with the front seats i think.  Does anyone know if the seat frames for a 70-71 are different than 72-74?  The reason I ask is I am replacing the foam on the front seats and the foam they sent doesnt seem right to me.

     :2thumbs:  Your little helper's picture is priceless!  He may be the guy who inherits your cuda someday and he'll treasure that picture forever.  Your Cuda is looking super and I like the hockey stick stripes.

    Very Cool...

    That's going to look really neat when it's completed....

    I see what you mean by putting the stripe down over the header panel, looks better.

    I made the same mistake when I did my Stocker years ago, I stopped before the header. Your's looks much better...

    Keep up the good work. :2thumbs:

    Looks great so far!  Making some great progress.   Interesting that your Vintage Air unit looks completely different then mine.  Is it just a heater?
