Find a parts catalog illustration page. They often just imported engineering drawings and have some sense of the order of installation. Sometimes. Mark

Wow! Beautiful. I cant wait to get my GK6 Cuda done. Lousy paint, badly matched from 20+ years ago. I need to keep seeing good paint to remember what mine should look like. And be inspired to write the check. Great job! Mark

Lots of Band-aids too. M

I think those are aftermarket. The factory Mopar accessories catalog lists a different style for 74. The 1970 Hamtramck Registry - 1974 Mopar Parts Accessories Catalog Mark

I am privleged to have a garage to keep my stuff warm, etc. But I need to re-engineer the Dr. Diff disc brake conversion on the Cuda. On my back. On cold concrete. With daily highs forcasted in the teens. I thinkI will do some work on the 1917 house restoration instead! Mark

My 70 Challenger wipers work ok, but I do get them hanging up on the lower windshield molding. Any solutions? Hard to do much without risking either molding or glass. mark

For next year, this is a very calm area with tons of traffic and lots of nearby parking (e.g., Kroger store less than 1/2 mile away). If you just are parking for the show you have no problems. Mark

Sell it and get a Modern 6.1L Charger/ Challenger supercharged special model and have fun. A lot closer to a Viper than anything you cna make your current car into without $$$$. I like stock E bodies, but the Modern Mopars are very tempting. M

The original post of the red convertible has a 65 Chrysler 300 sport grille and headlight covers. I have one. Mark

Stock iron exhaust manifolds? Is the hat control valve stuck closed? This will direct hot exhaust under the carb with resilting vapor lock. Mark

Also a question: I have a set of tail and backup lamps with a chrome ring, and one set without. I have seen both versions online, which is correct?

Hello all; I have two other E-bodies, but came to posses this 74 'Cuda as part of a package car deal. 318 car, A/C, auto, matching everything, I am the third owner but the second owner bought it in 1977 and drove it until three years ago. Mechanically excellent, with a cam, Thermoquad, headers...

Hello; The key point here is the aluminum radiator, etc. Combined with he iron engine this is a corrosion sensitive setup. Use a HOAT fluid, which has the anti corrosion chemistry to make this live. Leave the old green stuff for the all iron motors with brass radiators. Mark
