Get a good heater box rebuild gasket/seal kit. I personally have used Detroit Muscle Technologies (DMT) heater box kit and have had everything work great. Terry W.

If the carpet is in great shape, I would remove both seats, console, seatbelts, the sill plates and kick panels, then remove the carpet and clean it outside of the car and let it dry in the sun. That's the best way to do it and not have mold/ mildew. Just my opinion. Terry W.

Stainless can be welded. Aluminum is more difficult when thin. If stainless, get it welded for now if you can't find one. Terry W.

I saw the rust stain and assumed they are a steel clip.

For a quick repair, someone good at TIG welding could repair to make it usable while you try to find one for sale. T walker

Glad you found the problem. I had a friend years ago who rebuilt automatics for his job. We got together for a couple of evenings and rebuilt mine years ago. I think the friend, who I last saw several years ago, he had dementia then, has since passed away. I learned alot from him about...

I'm going to ask a silly question here. Did you or someone else service the transmission? The reason I ask this is this. Was the correct transmission fluid put in the transmission? Terry W.

I am going to assume that e-body door hinge replacement is the same between Cudas and Challengers. I have been able to replace my lower hinge on my Challenger doors without removing the door and the fender. I open the door so I can get my hand and wrench into the lower hinge area. I place a...

Good photos showing fork/bearing. Terry W

Those pads on the clutch fork sit on the ears on the bearing. If I remember correctly, the curved spring clips ends just go over the clutch fork ears on the back and the assembly pivots easily. If the other pad on fork that isn't visible in photos is like the one we can see, it's okay then. I...

To me, it looks like the fork is on the throw out bearing correctly. I've usually have the clutch fork on the pivot and the bearing installed prior to sliding in the transmission. If I understand you correctly, the fork is not on the pivot in the photos. Unfortunately, if there's not enough...

How to Identify E Body Hood Hinges... in Reference Material from another mopar ebody website

I feel like you do at times with the burn out on working on my cars. The windows just take patience with the adjusting. A few years ago, the driver's door window broke on my Challenger. My insurance said I had to have the replacement glass installed by a glass shop for them to cover the costs. I...

The engine bay re-dos look great. I have to ask though, did you regret getting rid of the A/C in the 71 Cuda? Terry W.

Nice project. I see you want to make it into a 1971 Challenger. Were you able to get the 71 front grille? Everywhere I check states out of stock or on backorder. It looks like OER is reproducing them at times. It will look great when complete. I'll keep checking your updates. Terry W.
