 WOW!!! That's looking great. The whole look of the car changes with the grill installed. I don't know what possition the factory installed the exhaust pipe to resonator clamps but...in my old job, whenever we installed dual exhaust systems, we would turn the clamps inward. It's just a cleaner installation if you don't see those clamps/nuts hanging down. If that's how the factory installed them though, I'd leave it.

Thanks Guys Great video to keep in this post. The Challenger one is good too. Thanks for finding that. The handling of those cars back in 1973 was sweet but nothing like the cars of today..

Thought Id better prefit the bumper brackets and bumper prior to bolting on the rubber filler panel and the lower valance. They fit pretty well the bumper is off center slightly and I should be able to adjust that out. I have the brackets all the way aft and even with the filler panel installed there is a 3/4 inch gap or so between it and the chrome. The filler panel has some scuffs so I want to fix it and paint it up befor everthing goes on complete.

Cleaned up the filler panel and reshot it with SEM. The only issue I have now is a gap between the bumper and the grille of about 3/4 inch. Is this normal for a 73 Cuda the bumper is all the way aft right now.

Thanks Ray and Darren for the comments. Still got issues popping up though. Went to put on the bumperettes today. When I got the 5 truck load of parts with the car The front bumperettes were not the right ones for the Cuda. Unfortuanatly the ones I had were for a Dart I think and they went out for Chroming. Know anyone who needs freshly chromed 73 or 74 Dart front bumperettes? I need Cuda ones.

Here is a shot of the front end with the valance installed and the bumper guards missing. The filler panel has about a 3/8 in gap now.
