Hey guys,

Just to update - I have the windshield that was graciously donated by FarmBoy70.  I'll be bringing it to Andy this weekend.  FarmBoy also donated the sway-bar endlinks for the front and rear.

Way to go you two!

I have a brand new starter I can ship off but I was holding back because if Andy went the header route it most likely would not be used because its not a mini-starter.

I'm trying to keep things straight so it look like these items are still needed:

Front and rear swaybar link kits
front brake rotors
front calipers
front brake hoses
inner/outer tie rods & sleeves
torsion bars w/boot&clips
heater control valve
26" radiator crossflow d.s lower hose
fan shroud
3/8 fuel line set w/return
driveshaft
15" ralley wheels & trim rings
shocks
oil pan
ecu
most parts to build my 493
starter
alternator
distributor
carb,
intake- need street dom. or performer rpm
headers or manifolds
balancer
kickdown linkage or Lokar cable
bumpers

Thanks so much to Viper and Farmboy70 (Dave). That was so awesome. I can't believe Jeff left his baby stroller at home
so he could bring the windshield to Mopar Nats. for me. He couldn't fit it all in the chally.
 And this is after he drove 2-3 hours to pick up the windshield for me.

SUPER AWESOME

I got Brad's parts dropped off at Andy's on Friday and I'm glad to report the man is doin' goooood.

Let's everyone stay on top of this and make sure the car is ready for Carlisle next year.

Andy, it was great to meet you and Cathy. That's going to be a cool Cuda.

Is this still up to date?  Also, just wanted to be sure, the 493 is an RB 440 based motor, correct?  I haven't had a chance to dig deep through my stash so I want to be sure what I'm looking for!  Should get a chance in the next couple of weeks for sure.

Later, Jim

I sent a pair of front shocks last week, not sure if they arrived yet.

[72cudamaan]

As said, Murray (Blown Motor) stopped by on Friday afternoon with some leaf springs, a p.s. pump and a fuel sender
sent by Brads70. (Thanks much Brad) Had a nice but short talk ( about cars of course ). So Thank you Murray for the transportation
(and the coil bracket).   And this afternoon I came home to a box of shocks from Jamiez. Thank you sir. You
guys are all wonderful people.

Yes Jim, it is an RB based 493

Andy, I hope all is well.
I read about your situation and can not keep from wanting to help. (sorry I didn't see this earlier)

Everything I have is from a 440.
I have a couple carbs, probably needing a rebuild but are complete. What size are you looking for?
I also have a distributor.
I have a balancer if it's for a internally balanced crank?

Please let me know.
I want to make what ever difference I can to help out.

Thank you for being an inspiration to myself and others.
Tom

I have a 'chrome' ECU if you are staying with the original style ignition? It is the best unit to use for street application. I think the gold is a race piece. Let me know if you want it.
