Here is the bottom of the spoiler after I opened it up and added reinforcement up to the inside top of the spoiler. This will also be the home for the other stuff I mentioned before. This is the outside top of the spoiler after I ground it down a bit before I do final finishing of the seam...

It should be interesting to see the reactions to this. I love AAR Cudas and TA Challengers but I am definitely a Cuda freak more than anything. But I actually prefer the TA rear spoiler over the AAR rear spoiler. So I decided to make the TA spoiler fit my Cuda. They are very expensive to buy so...

So I had decided to go hydraulic on the clutch a long time ago, and had done most of the work on it. Since then I found that McLeod throw out bearing and that led me to use a .75" Wilwood master cylinder instead of the less attractive one I was planning to use. My previous post shows the new...

So here we put the engine, transmission, and overdrive in the car. This first shot is from the side looking under the car. You can see my QA1 dolly still under the motor. This is from the driver side. Not really much to see here. This is more fun. The engine sitting in place though still...

I should have shown this before. I made a fixture that is bolted to just the bottom of an engine stand to hold my engine and ultimately transmission so I can roll it under the 'Cuda to bolt it in. I am using a QA1 k frame and didn't want to scratch it all up, so my fixture has multiple half...

Here is the other accessory belt setup on the driver side. The alternator is a Mechman 170 amp one wire. I used an idler pulley to force more belt wrap around both the power steering and alternator. I still need to fabricate a bracket to hold the tension adjustment but otherwise I think it is...

Thanks for the positive feedback. It is very appreciated.

I am at a point where my comfort in my cars is very important to me. And since this car is my summer toy, that means I need air conditioning. My car was originally a non air car and it makes sense to use something modern so I am using Vintage Air for my climate control. I looked around at...

In the earlier pictures of my wheels and tires you may have noticed that the center had no caps. The wheels came with plain black flat centers for you to attach your favorite logo to. Since I am kind of going for a "Mopar M" theme on my 'Cuda I started looking for decent looking emblems to...

I have the electronic stepper motor versions of the AutoMeter gauges, Mopar branded. I like that they are American made, even if the pieces are not all made here. I also have friends that work there since it is literally 7 miles from where I used to live. That, uhhhh, enabled me to get a...

I should have mentioned this before but my layout is actually optimized to make sure I can see what I really need to see at all times. So the Tach and Speedo show through the steering wheel and the Oil and Temp gauges are outside of it. The gas and volt gauges are the ones most blocked by the...

I have never liked the rallye setup myself. I don't like the fake woodgrain. For that reason I have always preferred the non-rallye setup in 'Cudas. But personal preference for sure. I am actually not a big fan of those gauges either now that I look at them. Lots of work, but I prefer what I...

Better than nothing. What would you want for it?

The main things I need are the three connectors pictured. The first is for an e body headlight switch. This next one is for the wiper switch. In my case I have a 2 speed setup. This last one is the wiper motor connector, again for a two speed. If you have harnesses, or partial harnesses...

If you mean me, I don't think so. I will be looking through all of my old wiring pretty soon for stuff I need. I will see what I find in there. I was actually responding to 440wb who thought he may have some wiring I need.
