    Drip rails and window seals

    So, my car has been apart for quite some time and I didn't remove the trim, the body shop did. I ordered new drip rails from AMD, but now I'm finding out that I might have needed another piece for the weather strip? If this is true, does anyone know who makes it? I just got rid of all my trim...

    FOR SALE Cold case 22" aluminum rad kit with electric fans

    Bought this 22” kit over a year ago not realizing my new radiator bracket would be for a 26” rad. This kit is BRAND NEW. Includes the radiator, shroud, and fan. Shroud and fan are still sealed. Radiator was opened to test fit until I realized it was too small. This DOES NOT come with the relay...

    Hood won’t latch.

    So I’m working on finishing up my 72 restomod and I’ve run into an issue that I’m continuing to struggle with. The hood is aligned great, closes about 98% of the way, but the striker will not fit into the latch. The latch is moved as close to the rad support as possible and the latch only fits...

    Distribution block leak

    So I installed a new distribution block from Dr diff. Got everything installed and torqued and while bleeding the brakes I noticed a leak. Unfortunately for me it ruined some paint on the frame rail but such is life. Anyway, it’s not leaking from my lines, it’s coming from the terminal that...

    72 Cuda Restomod

    I've put off creating this thread for a long time, but now that I'm towards the end I figured I'd put together some photos and a little narrative. Before I get started, big thanks to a lot of folks on this board for answering questions and providing me help along the way with the various issues...

    Starter won’t engage on key, only when shorting out relay

    I am desperately trying to fire this new motor and I’m beating my head against the wall. Installed a new American auto wire harness and a flaming river column that has the gm ignition switch. After speaking with American auto wire I have it all figured out now but I can’t get the starter to run...

    Header studs?

    Ok, am I blind or does no one make a polished header stud kit for the small block? I’m getting ready to install my TTI headers finally and they only came with bolts, no studs for the water jacket holes. I searched hi and low but can’t find anything stainless or polished. Do I just need to buy...

    Horn mounting location for a 72?

    Starting to put the final touches on my 72 restomod but can’t figure out the horn mounting location. I saw some on the pass side inner fender but those seemed to be 70-71. My car didn’t have a horn even I took it apart. I bought the hi lo horns from oer, where do these things mount (correctly)...

    904 torque converter to flexplate torque spec....

    So I ordered the wrong size bolts (5/16) for my TC and the new ones just came, 7/16. The FSM says 270 inch pounds for converter to flexplate but ARP is saying 55 ft lbs!? That's quite a difference.... What should I be going with here for a spec? I plan to use blue loctite but the ARP spec is...

    American Autowire harness

    Anyone use one of these in the past and still around? I’m currently wiring my car with this kit and I must say it is AWESOME, especially for someone whose automotive electrical experience is limited to changing burnt fuses and installing head units and speakers. With that said, I have some...

    Non-AC driver side fresh air vent question

    Reinstalling my dash after a frame up resto and have a question about mounting this vent. I have an AMD cowl and there are no holes for mounting this vent on the driver side. Should I drill holes and use screws or self-tappers? Unfortunately I wasn’t the one who removed the dash so I’m not sure...

    K frame swap…anything on bolt threads?

    Hey all…kind of a stupid question that I’m arguing with myself over and want some opinions. My Cuda rebuild is rapidly coming to a close and I’m putting the engine in. I have it on a QA1 tubular k frame and just need to lift it and install the bolts. The factory bolts were extremely rusty, like...

    Having issues with installing new gears

    So...I'm installing a Dr. Diff rear diff and 3.55 gears in my 741 case and I'm having a hell of a time with this pinion. Getting the depth and preload set has been a real PITA as it's the first time I'm doing this, but that's not really my problem. The problem is constantly having to tighten...

    72 single headlight buckets

    Anyone have a link for aftermarket headlight buckets for the single headlight setups? All I can find is the 5 3/4 in buckets but I need the single 7" buckets for my car. I COULD re-use mine in a pinch with some work but the car is getting about 75% new metal so I'd like to just replace these.

    WTB WTB: Rear seat covers for 72 Cuda

    I know this is probably a long shot, but I dropped the ball on ordering rear seat covers for our resto and I'm up you know what creek without a paddle at the moment. Our current covers are, ok, but the material that wraps and hog-rings as well as the foam and burlap underneath has been...

    A904 forward drum, any aftermarket?

    So today while pressing a bad input shaft from my forward drum, the core of the drum failed and dropped out of the center. I’ve had no luck finding this piece anywhere, does anyone know of any aftermarket pieces? It’s a 27 spline shaft, 23 on the drum side. At this point if I can’t find this...

    WTB WTB AMD Firewall and Pass Side Inner Fender for 72 Cuda

    Probably a long shot...but need an AMD firewall and passenger side inner fender for my 72 cuda project. I've managed to get my hands on everything else, but AMD is out of these and as of yet I haven't been able to get an ETA on them. Hoping someone has a lead...

    As the title says, looking for Milodon 21535 Oil Pump Driveshaft and Milodon 18345 Oil pickup tube to finish my motor. Milodon is waiting on gears, they told me 10/31 at best. Not urgent...but if I can find these I'd like to get my hands on them. Thanks

    FOR SALE Fenders, truck lid, rear valance 72 Cuda

    Couple things for sale off our 72 Cuda. These pieces need some work, I’m redoing the body with repops since it’s not a numbers matching car and has already had work done. Not sure what the value would be on these pieces so I’ll throw some prices up but I’m open to negotiation. Just don’t want to...
