Thanks, I just took the doors and fenders off, put back on rotisserie to seam seal and paint underneath. I also doing the tweeking of rear quarters to get valance to fit while accessibility is easy (onside). Hopefully, ready to set body on Schwartz chassis soon. Been slowed down by rain in...

I bought the 17 X 9 cast Rallye wheels and they look great, but I put on cheap narrow used rollers until I get body down on frame and painted. I had a lot of work to do on chassis and engine. Frab up transmission mount, installing Schwarts intercooler header (because of clearance on firewall)...

Thanks a bunch, I will order 17x9 Cast Rallye wheels and I think I will buy some cheap used 275 40 17 tires as rollers. When project is finished, take to local tire shop for assistance in getting best fitting tires possible. The Nitto's were my first choice.

thanks for the great reply. Exactly what I was looking for.

Rear Valance installation. Do I need to bend the quarter panel upwards to match the rear valance on the Cuda? Sorry about poor picture. The quarter panel is on right and valance is on the left. Looks like if I bent the quarter panel 90 degrees everything would match up. Thanks for help.

Thanks for response. Schwartz told me that wheel hubs were in stock location and if wheels and tires worked on stock bodies, I would be OK. I would however gain more space in backspacing since no leaf springs involved and remove stock shock towers. I pretty sure the 17x9 Cast Rallye wheels...

Sorry if this is a repeat quest. Has anyone used the 17x9 Cast Rallye wheels and the recommended 275/40-17 tires per Classic Industries on all four wheel locations for a stock Cuda car? I have Jeep JK rollers on now, but need tires and wheels to drop body on Schwartz Chassis. Thanks for help.

I bought a 2016 Hellcat dash frame. Have yet to try and fit. Still very interested in doing. So many issues with old dash, #1 is no AC vents around. Held hostage to paying exorbitant prices for everything. New dash cover, etc. I have seen some more modern dashes in e-bodies. But no responses...

Lizard skin

Oh and steering wheel and steering column.

i already have the wiring harness, UCOnnect and speedometer gauge custer form the Clevleand P&P Hellcat Engine and six speed manual I bought. That was what got me going this direction.

Yes, I saw something similar, pretty close to what I want to do. You can do just about anything with a cutting wheel and mig/tig welder. I think I will pursue. I have so far replaced firewall, cowl all the floors, door skins, quarter panels, tail section, with front fenders and shaker hood...

Thank you for your kind suggestion, but the attached photo is of the type I was asking. Does any one have a suggestion on how to install? I saw in several videos and slides, but no contact. Thanks a bunch for your help,

Does anyone have knowledge of or someone to contact that has installed a Modern Challenger dash in a vintage 73 Cuda or Challenger? I bought a Cleveland P&P Hellcat Engine and Manual Transmission with wiring harness, UConnect, steering wheel/Steering column, instrument cluster and A/C controls...

Thanks for help. I believe I got enough information to confidently start welding inner fenders up to firewall & cowl.
