so going through my boxes of parts I found my gauges thank god . they arnt cheap they are brand new sweet. I did notice that the new head liner is for a 5 bow. I only have four of the bows also noticed that the head light buckets are for the same side two lefts or rights not sure what side yet but that sux alittle. yearone has um at like $515.00

Try PG Classics for headlight buckets...They are the manufacture

6771.. You mentioned you have a five bow headliner but only have four bows.  Do you mean you're missing one of the bows or that your car only uses four bows?  If you are missing one, you can usually pick one up form E-bay or several of the vendors sell them.  Just make sure you get the correct year, as they can vary in size and shape from year to year.  Great project BTW and welcome to C.C.

Good point...If your car is only a 4 bow headliner car I would start to worry..

That car looks awesome!   Gonna be one sweet ride! If the pics are recent . . . Clearly you live somewhere warm!

Check the inside of the roof. Is there four locations for bows, or five ?

[6771plymouth]

I will, anlauto, thanks for the info on head light buckets add them to my list.

Too bad for the previous owner that he didn't live to see the fruition of what he started. But now you get to finish what he started and live the dream - SWEET!

You didn't tell us the story (or I missed it) of how you became aware of the car and your journey to acquiring it and what it finally took to land it and bring it home. I'm sure some other people other than just me would love to hear your story, so please, indulge us with your tale of landing the ultimate fish ...

the gentleman that passed. was dating my wifes aunt. so landing the car was not that hard. she mentioned that she had some guy look at the cuda . I was like aw man then the guy said that she wanted too much . so I said ill take it. as I was there looking at car same guy called and said he changed his mind. I told her to late ill take it. the getelman that owned it said it was his first mopar he has or had over 27 corevettes two 41 whilly pick up trucks one ranked 7th in the nation. 2 amc gremlins. 32 ford five window. and many more. joe was a true car guy. to bad he was just getting into mopars at the end. I don't know if I paid too muck but I got it for $35,000. she wanted 40,000

Man I am jealous, hemi 4spd with 4.10s.......hours of tire shredding fun!

[6771plymouth]

I know I cant wait :}

[MizzouRT]

Yes, since the interior is black (rather than blue or white) that makes the choice of black stripes a lot easier.  Sure it will look great based on the start you already have...
