Just an FYI....if you are getting a 71-74 pad from Ultimate Rides, save the plastic frame that the Barracuda sticker goes in. If you're getting this type pad, and didn't save the little rectangular frame....get Nick to cut it out and mail it back to you. I bought an Ultimate Rides pad thru Dante a few years ago,and it's a VERY nice Ultimate Rides pad that I put in my 71 Challenger. It didn't come with the little plastic frame re-installed in the pad. Wasn't Dante's fault, and he was great to deal with. Fortunately, I went to the Mopar Nats that year and ran into the dude from Ultimate Rides,who was there buying up cores. He let me cut the little plastic frame out of an old pad for free. At that time, nobody was reproducing the little plastic frame that the Challenger/Barracuda sticker goes into. Just my  Good luck. 
I do not want to steal this thread but I am in need of the plastic frame as well. Does anyone repop this piece?
I got the Ultimate Rides through Nick as well. I bought a steel core from a guy in Nebraska to send in to be redone. I will have my core avaiable in a few weeks for sale.

I talked to Mike Ross about it that same year at the Nats, and at that time he didn't feel like it would be a good seller if reproduced. I have to agree with him. It would cost a wad of money to make that itty bitty thing, and not a lot of them would sell.
