1970 Cuda resurrection

[mopardave]

Took a break from wiring to do something a bit more esthetically pleasing.

Finally got the console in and put the CF grips on the pistol grip!

 

LOOKS GOOD,   Did you not have the shift boot ring ?

Where do I get all the carbon fiber?

DMT will set you up!

Actually, I thing the reflection from the black dash/interior is making it hard to tell the chrome ring.

So any updates?

Brian, your missing the chrome top ring,  the sliver ring to to hlp hold the boot, the actual chrome ring screw down on every other screw,

Someone didn't sell me that!

Someone didn't sell me that!

LOL, if you don't have one let me know.

I'll give you a jingle after I work out this radiator fun I've been having.

 

[HP_Cuda]

Found some seatbelts for the rear seats and I also had good luck painting them.

[HP_Cuda]

After fighting with a few radiator issues I finally got it all together today.

As you can see there is now some nice distance between the clutch fan and the radiator.

Time to kick over is coming up!

Love this build. Looking great! 

[HP_Cuda]

Thanks Cudaragtop!

I've been going back and forth lately on the direction I may go with this build. I thought I'd throw it out there and see what folks think.

Stock vs aftermarket - downside is the aftermarket seats while they looks cool are somewhat tight in the hip area. But maybe you just get used to being sucked into a seat.

That's a tough one...
I like both for different reasons.
Would love more support but don't want to give the stock seats. Too bad you can't have both.

[CudamanTom]

Lookin sweet Bryan, 

I gotta be honest. I like the original stock seats myself.
If you had tubs and a roll cage and gauges mounted all over the dash, then the aftermarket seats would match that set-up IMHO.
Go off of what you want for looks, style and function.

Stock vs aftermarket ?

Depends on your wheels. What are you using?  Your engine compartment is modified but you can hide that with the hood being closed.

With my wife's Cuda, I'm going with later model reclining seats but going to have them sewn up like the stock pattern. Also going with an electric adjuster under it.

Cars are 45ish years old so I try to leave them  looking a little like stock.  My 2 cents too but it's your car.
