The McLaren looks nice.  Your  Cuda looks great beside it.
Cheers!

You'll love this one! ;)

So there this one thing, when I bought my Challenger, that bugged me to no end. This was my glove compartment door. It had this nasty little kick-out towards the bottom of the door. The previous owner must had thought the ac vent (vintage air) was holding it out. After a few minutes and remember the basics of hinge 101, I simply turned the hinge 180 and ta-da...Fits like a glove!

Finally have plates and insurance... then, the trans starts pissing everywhere... Soooo need to clean up all the trans fluid and try to find the leak... hoping its just over filled... if not I'm thinking its the front seal..  :headbang:

Installed my Dakota Digital dash, easy install, prob the only thing I'd have DD change is I'd put the oil pressure and temp gauges beside the Tach and the fuel and volts far right
Then I took it to the strip for a blast, was fun.
With the DD gauges, you can choose to use the old oem green indicator warning lights or you can have them in the gauge face like the non rallye gauge, DD have bright LED's in the OEM Rallye indicator locations, I chose to wire all of these together and connect them to the warning output which is an hi RPM warning, so now I have a shift light that come on when I hit the RPM I choose, so no additional crap hanging off the steering column or dash etc, works great for me

Finally had time to leave the Challenger at my mechanic's for the week (Nick Panaritis, Indy Auto, https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKxu_85y8YGFQcY11cJGNtA )
Since I bought it in the Spring, it never ran right, with an aging Edelbrock carb, no choke, points... I got a restored AVS with choke from a local expert, new Mopar electronic ignition system with orange box, plugs coil and wires!
The intake was removed and crossover passage cleaned, new 180 thermostat with new housing from Tony's, transmission kickdown inkage adjusted, and he took care of various leaks and noises.... I did not just stand by, I did take the opportunity to clean up the underside a bit while the car was in the air, no lift at home!
Need to get a new fuel line for less connections and relocate the fuel filter farther from the intake/ignition, and next project is stripping/painting the engine and manifolds....
To say that the car runs better is an understatement, I can finally enjoy it at full throttle, before it would just die if I was too quick on the right pedal... One drawback is that since I use it more... enthusiastically, it drinks a bit more, and I actually ran out of gas this morning... Ironically, this is the first old car I've owned that has a working fuel gauge!
