I wanted to give shout outs to soundcontrol, Tom Dillinger (fc7cuda) and Terry Walker (71vert340).

Soundcontrol (sorry I couldn't find your name listed) went out at 1AM to take pictures of his hood for me to show how and where the windshield washer nozzles attached to the hood.

Tom dug through his parts and found a OEM bolt for my shaker bubble that saved me from having to buy a whole set to replace only one.

Terry also dug through his parts and found a OEM upper passenger door molding piece for my '70 'Cuda that he didn't need.  That also saved me from having to buy a complete set of moldings to only replace one.  He also shopped around to find the cheapest shipping.

The people on this forum are the best at not only helping each other out as I listed above, but also providing useful information to help less knowledgeable people like myself with questions about our restoration. :clapping: :worship: :bravo:  There's no doubt without your help I'd still be putting my 'Cuda back together. 

If anybody needs a particular OEM bolt, screw, clip, small part, or pictures, don't hesitate to ask me.  I have several left over from my restoration and I'm more than willing to help/share.  I may not have it but I'll sure go look through my parts stash.
Thanks again to the best Mopar forum members out there.

Thank you Brad!
I'm doing quick fixes on my Barracuda so I can get it running and registered here in Sweden.
Figured I'll drive it as is until the Challenger is done, then restore it properly.

One thing I need is measurements on the exhaust tips, width, height and how deep the are.
I have a piece of stainless steel laying around and I'm gonna be cheap and try to make my own.  8)

Sound Control here you go.  My tips are repos but I assume they are pretty close to OEM.  They are about 6 3/4" across. They are cut at an angle so from the back to the front edge on the top is 3 3/4". On the bottom it is 2 1/2".  Measuring from the top to bottom for height it is 1 1/2".  If you measure the height from the top to the bottom across the opening, as an angle, it is 2".  I hope these help.  It was a challenge to take a pic with my phone and hold the ruler/tape measure at the same time in the other hand.  Let me know if you need anything else or additional measurements.

JS29, actually it's just a 12" ruler, but I agree a wooden one is rare these days.   It's been hanging out in my tool box for years.  I think this is the first time I've  used it in years.   ;)

Thanks! Those measurements are great.

This forum is fantastic for people helping one another. It makes a huge difference and honestly, there are things like frame rail replacement I might not have attempted if it weren't for experienced guys in here assuring me along the way and giving solid advice.

Always nice to hear good stories like this!!
