It's been a while since I last posted, but I'm on the site regularly to keep up with what's going on. I just wanted to take a moment to share: After two long years, I think I finally have the Cuda in running order and the bugs worked out. I have some new pics and video taken this past weekend. If you want, check them out on my website at http://www.71cuda.net

I bought a Goodmark fender from Ebody Products (http://www.ebodyproducts.com).

Yes more pics sweeet car! I have a question for you the chrome trim running along the top of the door where the window felts are is that a 71 thing? My 72 doesn`t have that and they need replacing are those available aftermarket?

I believe the door top trim moldings were available on BS cuda models in 70 and 71. I'm not sure, though. I'll be somebody here knows the details of what years and models they were available for.

I bought my door top trim moldings as aftermarket repros a couple years backthrough ebay from a member called "classicconnection1" (classicconnection@earthlink.net) for $160. I'm not sure if this guy still sells them, but the ones I received from him were excellent.
