    WTB Door handle rubber bumpers

    They're not sold individually anymore. However , the repopped handles come with bumpers. I just used some that fit the hole and shaved them down until the handles were just about flush with the rest of the handle assembly.

    What's the difference between a factory AC dash and non AC?

    I installed a 4 barrel oval air cleaner and Vintage Air system using factory dash vents. No clearance issues with the compressor and air cleaner. The kit I got used the standard flex hose. They were easy to push on the backs of the vents but very hard to fit inside the dash where some of the...

    E body 3 point seat belts

    You should use the carpet for the 1970 model since it includes a hump to cover the reel. There's also a white molded plastic piece that goes between the reel and the carpet for a smooth transition.

    FOR SALE 1970 Plymouth Cuda ABS Dash Cap

    This black ABS dash cap looks new. It was removed from my 1970 Cuda because I bought a new dash pad. The cap wasn't properly installed by the previous owner as it was just placed over the cracked dash pad without prepping the pad or using any adhesives. Use it to cover your ugly, cracked...

    Insurance

    Hagerty. Insurance rates have increased on everything from homeowners to toys. Lots of disasters and claims lead to rate increases. At least that's what they say to justify the increase.

    Anyone else having fitment issues with Auto Custom Carpets ACC?

    I installed the carpet for a 71-73 yesterday. This one fits well with the exception of the excess material above the transmission hump.

    Quality Motor and Trans Mounts

    Use heat to loosen the bond on the old rubber mount; there's no need to burn it. Then press the rubber out.

    70 Cuda Door Panels, Rear Side Panels, Kick Panels in Black

    The kick panels with speakers holes are close but not an exact fit. They're a tad shiny. So, some will paint with SEM Landau Black.

    Anyone else having fitment issues with Auto Custom Carpets ACC?

    I spoke with ACC this morning about the difference between the 70 carpet and the 71-74 regarding the seatbelt retractors. I asked that they make a note so that when people order carpet for the 1970 Cuda they get the correct carpet based on if they're using factory seatbelts or not. ACC will...
