gtx6970 OP Too Many Posts Joined: Jun 2003 Posts: 21,405 It's a dry heat	1970 Cuda After nearly 3 years of ribbing him, I got the job to assemble the mans dream. The body was painted in 1995 or 96 and has sat covered ever since. He's owned it since about 1982 or 83' ps, yes, it's a real AAR but it was missing all it's original drivetrain back then. Considering how longed he's owned it. The chances he's gonna sell it anytime soon is very unlikley. So, he decided to build his dream car. I assure you he will die with this car in his ownership. 6048498-DSC00636.JPG (649 downloads)

But it's at least progress Spent to better part of 2 days insulating the inside of the passenger compartment.

You wouldn't believe how solid the roof sounds when you tap on it,no more ting ting when you hit it, now it's a solid 'thud'. I think it's going to be much quieter inside. I went with a fatmat.com material called 'rattle trap' 6214380-DSC01179.JPG (304 downloads)

My one pet peave with this system is how the box mounts. I plan to make a new heater-a/c box mounting brackets to use the original non-a/c box mounting points, that way theres no extra holes to be drilled into the firewall. 6214384-DSC00903.JPG (250 downloads)

Most of the parts he bought for it back in the 90's . Dash wiring and interior soft trim were dated 1994 - 1995 respectivily. Engine was picked up in 2005 I think.

Everything on the motor came from Buochillon,,, from the compressor to all the brackets, including the power master alternator. IMO, use the supplied instructions as a guide, I ended up moving spacers and washers around to make it fit to where I was happy. 6240010-DSC01206.JPG (188 downloads)

gtx6970 OP Too Many Posts Joined: Jun 2003 Posts: 21,405 It's a dry heat	Yesterday I concentrated on engine wiring and ignition system cleanup Due to the a/c compressor mounting location. Using the factory Hemi coil mount was out of the question. So, I'm using a Accell coil mounted on the rear/ side of the intake, similar to a 440 six pack mounting . Fabbed up a bracket yesterday with some leftover 18 gauge stainless and a bench vise. It's not super pretty, but once painted and the coil is mounted. You not going to see it anyway. 6272445-DSC00135.JPG (125 downloads)

I felt it looked very close to the original satin chrome look of the original hsgs.

My customer decided not to wait on the upcoming new interior trim panels. So, I cleaned, cleaned and cleaned again all 4 of the originals. dyed them with Sems brand vinyl dye with an adhesion promotor. Should there be a problem later one, he may re-evaluate the new ones. I think they came out great, these were not perfect, but very nice used originls. Ft's 6307533-124.JPG (103 downloads) Last edited by gtx6970; 11/18/10 09:51 AM.

I've got Classic Air brackets on a small block, and it only uses one belt. It will squeel under load sometimes. Use 2 if you can.

Thanks fellas JD, I tried and would prefer 2 belts, BUT the pulley alignment makes that out of the question.It's one belt or nothing.

And with this tire size the rear end needs to drop a bit I like the stance. Especially if you use 235/60 tires up front and drop the apex of the opening to about an inch below the crown of the tire. Dropping the rear about an inch would help too, but makes the pinion angle even harder to get right (4* down). It especially looks better with Rallyes. Full disclosure, that is how mine is setup... By the way, excellent work. Cool car. I'll be happy to be able to contribute with one of my air cleaners to this project! 6515752-DSC_01282.JPG (55 downloads)

Completely off topic, but I spy a copper 67 Coronet in the background of one pic. What is it? My bro has a copper 67 convertible 500.

Copper 67 Coronet 440 is a friend of mines. 383 , column auto. Originally copper ext with copper interior but the interior has been changed to copper and white . All copper in and out was just to much

I hear ya on the all copper thing, my brothers car has a brown dash and carpet, but the rest is copper. Looks like a shiney penny. Travis..

I'm not 100% , but I think the color is right in person.( I didn't paint it so I had no say on it) BUT, The floorpan is to dark that he knows and is not worried about it. Per the vin , it was an FC7 Plum crazy AAR, BUT, it was rebodied back in the early 90's . And in his mind it's no longer an AAR. SO ,,, he built what he wanted out of it regardless of what the vin 'says' it is.

I'm not saying the color is wrong, just that the lighting in the indoor shop pics makes the color look less limelight and more avocado. I do fully dig it .
