I'm nearing the end of my hemi cuda clone project and realized everything on the outside is new except for the door handles.

Are there any good repops? Are they all the same?

I see AMD is making them and see a good price on VanAuto on eBay.
- Are they all the same?

I also see some discussion on curved vs. flat for the cudas in 1971, but I assume all the repops are flat. (My clone was a 74 originally, so mine are flat).

Any help is appreciated. It's getting close!!!

You can't buy happiness, but you can buy horsepower and that's kind of the same thing.....

I bought mine from Roseville and they were very good pieces. Not sure if cudas need any particular curve in them but the Challenger ones do. And the Roseville handles were perfect for my Challenger.

Actally, now that you mention it, the one's I got from Roseville were from Dales.

The one item I noticed in the handles I bought several years ago was the difference in the rubber bumpers. The original handles have a hole drilled and a bumper that is attached by the back being pulled thru the hole. the repros had a flat piece of rubber glued on. I don't know if this was corrected on the new repros.
