Well spent the last week and a half working on some electrical issues lots of help from my mopar friends. The only thing that doesn't work now is my lighter there is power to the unit but it must need replacement. Tomorrow I will work on installing the front and rear glass.never done this before but any tips would be appreciated..

Temp and Fuel gauges work well now thanks to 70mopes for rebuilding my voltage limiter to work properly at a steady 5 volts. The temp seems a little hign do these cars typically run in that range?

Spent yesterday cleaning up the rear glass took quite abit of work to get all the water calcium buildup off of the outside base of the glass . I Installed the butyl seal and the glass went in well. This was the original piece and it still looks great. I ended up ordering a new piece for the windshield since that original had a rock chip in it. May just fix it clean it up and sell it in Portland at the swap meet. The old one is still a great mopar piece.

Installed the Stainless on the rear window. Its nice to see the car coming together on the final stages. The trim just adds those finishing touches. Sure glad the tape was there for protection..On to the windshield.

EXCELLENT THREAD!!!

I just read it and youve done an outstanding job! I really like the wheels you have on it now.

nice job

As I've said before; fabulous job! It is refreshing to see a stock build on a '72 - '74 car for a change.

Thanks guys I truely appreciate the positive comments. Looking forward to Spring as you all are too, Im sure. I couldn't have gotten this far on this restoration without the help of alot of Mopar friends both on and off this site.

Thanks Moparts

Looking great Dennis, it won't be long now. Be honest you're temped to take it out before it's done huh? DAMHIK

Temptation Temptation its a funny thing about 2 weeks ago I did take it out with both front and rear glass not installed or any license plates. Luckily My son in law is the local police officer. I justified it by telling myself I need to seat the rings on that new motor. It shifted through all the gears well, drives nicely, it was a little windy though. Put about 6-7 miles on it. I do need to go get gas again and check out the gas tank float accuracy?????.

Finished the interior over the the weekend installed the door panels, console and the seats again All original door panels and console just cleaned and reinstalled.

Finished the front glass and Stainless. Had a buddy come over and assist it finally got to 65 in the garage made the Buytl seal nice and plyable for the installation. I do see some minor gaps in the trim pieces because this used to be a vinyl top car and I didnt allow for those imperfections.

First nice days weve had in a while may get to 60 outside today. Pulled the Cuda out into the sunshine parked it on my site for the shop. King County is working out the details for my permit. The yellow looks nice and the car sounds even better. Will install the black body stripe when it warms up even more.

Another picture from a different view. I feel a road trip coming soon. I need to get insurance this week..

Car looks great man. No side window channel seal yet I see please detail your install since I still have to do mine too

Thanks man, Are you talking about the trim across the top of the door and rear side window? They were very tempermental to put on> I did get one small indentation on the passenger side from my palm pressure popping it on.

Another view right hand side.

When compared to originals how are the corners, edges, contours, finish? Indistinguishable from OEM?

Nice work pal!
