Very sad news... I've bought a ton of parts from Dales Cuda Shop over the years. Very knowledgeable and will be sorely missed... RIP Dale : :('

I hope the family can continue the business in some way to continue to support the hooby as they were a top notch vendor  :thinking:

When I bought my first part (hood pin kit) back in the 80's from Dales, this was the best place to buy stuff. RIP

Like Ben Snobar, Dale was one of the early pioneers in our hobby as far as reproduction parts are concerned.... :headbang:

Sad to hear. I've bought a few items from Dale over the years.  It is always sad to hear of someone in this hobby passing.  RIP

Recently the "sales" end of the business has been changed to "on-line" only and is being handled by Quicksilver Diecast, not sure the guy's name.  Charlie was still handling the manufacturing end of the business, but is quickly growing tired of that too...With the passing of his Father, I'm not sure what he'll do moving forward.....

I hear through the grapevine that large quantities of their inventory can be bought

This is sad news to hear. My condolences to his family and to anyone that knew him.

The only thing I ever bought from his Cuda shop was the only item made for a modern Challenger he had. The rear window louvers... Aluminum, and look so cool.

I have the same Window louver from Dales shop. I couldn't drill out the holes required to mount it! I went with the window kit from Summit. I guess I'll keep it for a while. :dunno:
