The aftermarket regulators stink, however.  They are slow and often have problems :(

Which aftermarket regulators did you try?

I used the XV regulators and converted the wiring connector to accept factory switches so it looks original once installed.  (also added factory door wiring grommets)

I have a write up on that which I've been meaning to post here if I can find the time.

The window guides are now available, I think upstops are next.
Challenger doors are available, I don't think Cuda ever will be.

Electric life systems are the ones with all the bad reviews. My current Barracuda Gran Coupe has factory power windows

this I don't get. yes they made a few more Challengers, but it's the Cudas that bring the higher prices
Growing older is mandatory...growing up is optional.

Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

'70 Barracuda B5/B5 225 /6 3spd ... about as bare bones as they came

The inner up stops for door glass is a great one.  Pretty easy to make and seems like I'm always looking for them.   :yes:

Correct year Rallye dashes would be nice.

So far it's a mish mash of folks who have taken 72-74 Rallye guages and put 8K tachs in them and tried selling them as 70-71's.

Blah..... :barf:
1970 Cuda Yellow 440 4 speed (Sold)
1970 Cuda clone 440 4 speed FJ5
1975 Dodge Power Wagon W200

I would like to see someone reproduce the vacuum advance control [3420919] for the 1970 440 six pack engines.  NOS ones are almost impossible to find and when you do the price is usually $300+.

Word is Dave at Roseville is NO longer supplying UR dash pads. 

I've heard it's best to buy from UR directly at a swap meet to make sure you're getting what you want and like and  get what you're paying for and not waiting for him to deliver on his promises.

I've heard his work is hit-and-miss but I plan to buy a pad from him as I've seen some of his work and it looks pretty good to me.  I will just be buying the pad straight up from him cash in hand and getting the pad at the spring fling. :alan2cents:

Rear tail light panels for 1971 Challengers would be a nice addition.  :alan2cents:
