From their website:

"COMING SOON!! CUDA AND CHALLENGER FENDERS!!"

Not a good sign that this place is even still in business. Copyright 2001 at the bottom of the page, too.

I dug a little deeper and found a show schedule for 2011, so I guess they're still in business, but no cuda grilles to be found.

Not even 10 percent of their inventory is on line. They are very much in business. I talked to Nigel the owner last week about the grille.

Well, I talked to Nigel TODAY. He says the grilles are in production and theoretically on a boat to Canada as we speak. He didn't come right out and say it, but it seems P.G. Classics is the supplier. Two to three weeks to be in stock, NOT on the shelf now.

That is great. Can not wait to see the grill.  These 72-74 Barracuda grilles are not easy to find, John.

I also got a complete in "perfect" shape grille for my 72 on ebay about a year ago. Cost me $800 and I thought that was too much, although looking for one I quickly understood the reasoning. If they make repops that are in good condition for a reasonable price, I might buy another one....just in case lol.
Cuda is gone :(
