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.. Dennis

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.

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

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 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.

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.
