Ladies and Gentlemen,
I know it has been a long while since any updates on my Cuda but the odds and ends are being finished now. we had a slight break in work but Tim and the crew are BACK and we are winding this project down once and for all!!!! I am sure he will post when he gets a chance. Thank you all for following this thread.

looking forward to more info and seeing your 'cuda hit the scene here on LI Mike - been a good read so far - Joe

Ladies and Gentlemen,

I know this has kind of drifted to more of a dead thread for the past month or so. I just want to say "stay with us". The light at the end of the tunnel is rapidly approaching and some photos will be uploaded soon.

having now met 70plymA34 and speaking at length on more than 1 occasion, I'm sure this is going to be well worth the wait - we all know how these things get sidetracked and held up, but sounds like it is going to as promised by the AMCR crew, even with some of the slips and corrections and tips provided by the moparts crew - I'm looking forward to seeing this end result, and it's not even my car ! And friending another moparts member is pretty cool too, every tip helps the next guy - Joe

i dont mean to sidetrack this resto, but i would like to show you guys some of the stellar work that has been done by myself and others to add to the great work AMCR is doing.

This is the original air cleaner after light plastic media, sensors had to be replaced on snorkels, lucked out and found NOS ones, original hoses cleaned up and the assembly powdercoated in black wrinkle finish. The inside was finished in a low luster black which I got from Instrument Specialties. Stickers from ECS and NOS pie pan. Damn, how could i forget, to finish this off right, Mitchell Mopar had a NOS seal for the lid

Looks really nice, great work by AMCR.

Two words to describe the resto of the original alternator. JIM RIDGE!!!!. Great guy!!!! oops thats 4 words.

back.

Take a guess who brought the original wiper motor back to life. I ll give you a hint his initials are JD!!!

couldnt stop at the wiper motor now. he also did the arms as well!!

now we could not just stop there, how bout these too!! Thanks Jules for everything. Not only did he do some of the components, he also gave me priceless advice as well for a lot of the items I did myself. Merci Jules Daddio!!!!!

the final compliment to the wiper assembly, a mint set of NOS ANCO 16" Red Dot wipers.

thats all folks for now. this is just an appetizer of the work that has been done on the cuda. More to come!!

Alright, one more detail until Tim posts some photos from his shop of the car. These are the restored road lamps which I did myself. They were stripped of their crusty silver paint, primed and reshot with PPG DAR Rallye Wheel paint. I used 2 drops of flattening agent to knock the gloss down and these were as close as I could match the original color. Also the original brackets were treated to satin/semi gloss black. All hardware replated and original bezels rechromed. I got the silver paint from Frank Badalson.

Roadlamp housings not complete until I got the bulbs. Got em right off Moparts!

Backside of Road Lamp Housing with wiring installed.

Front of RL's with bulb and bezel installed.

Original road lamp when I took it off car. Just wanted to show that I tried to match the color as best i could. The flattening agent helped somewhat with sheen.
