My first post on this forum on my restoration process.
The engine is running, just needs to be painted and detailed (426 Hemi)
Stainless boot well moldings were just installed, the anodized drivers side belt molding installed, still waiting for the passengers side to come back from the plater.
Right now the focus is on getting the dash completed and installed.
Looks like a great project and I love the color! It's hard to beat a '70 Cuda vert. :banana:
Thanks - Here are a couple of other older pics
Great project!
That's going to be a great car!
Very nice!
I absolutely love that color. :banana:
great looking project and a great looking garage!! I spot many goodies in there. is that a '71 fastback?
Is this a BH 70?
Looks great! Love that color.
Nice looking car!
Your blackout around the windshield continues down on top of the cowl. Is the cowl coverage normal?
WOW that looks great! Very cool! :worship:

Thanks and I wish that was my garage!! That's the shop where my car is being worked on. He has a lot of interesting projects in there right now including an AAR, a '63 Powerwagon, a '69 GTO Judge Convertible and an old '65 ambulance.

It's a BP, originally a 318 car. I don't have the original engine.

I think there was some variation on this from the factory. I'm sure some of the experts on the site can shed some light on it. I do know that my Challenger also has blackout down to the edge of the cowl. Here are some other pictures of how it was masked and after it was shot.
Nice work on the Cuda vert!
Looking great! Nice Cuda!

Thanks! Some to you on the chally vert. We should be finishing them up around the same time.
I'm assuming your quarters required some body work/ repairs.
Do you have any progress pictures showing the work? Skins with butt weld seams or the AMD reproductions that have been reworked by Ken Hopperdietzel? If skins where do you do the seams?

Getting the firewall ready for the dash to go in.
Does anyone know what finish the re-enforcement plate that goes on the outside of the firewall should be? Black Phosphate? It is circled in the picture.
It is just taped to the pedal assembly now so I don't misplace it.
FYI, the paint on the cowl was NEVER taped from the factory or had a hard line from the black to the body color. It was feathered into the vertical part of the firewall. :alan2cents:
Beautiful project and work so far.
Usually bare metal, I sure you could get away with black phosphate :alan2cents:
Latest progress on the car. Quarter glass installed and hood hinges installed.
Also a question for the experts. The car was in pieces when I bought it and I've found some oddball parts. For instance, the strikers I have are 1/2" thread with no rubber bushing. The new ones I bought are 7/16" thread with rubber bushings. The threads in the door jamb are 7/16" and haven't been touched....but I could see where Chrysler could have possibly used a beefier striker for convertibles. Does anyone know which is correct for a convert? And what cars used the beefier striker with 1/2" threads?
E Bodies only used one size striker for all convertibles and hardtops 7/16.
The ones that "came with" your car don't even look like Chrysler parts in my opinion.

Thanks Alan. I figured you would know. Who knows where those other strikers came from...probably a Ford!
Not Ford, maybe GM...

Yours looks incredible. You're also in CT but I don't recall ever seeing you at any local shows.
Original BH car or not, that's going to be a killer when done. :twothumbsup: Do you know who did the restoration work on the dash?
Just finished it I had it out this summer did a bunch local shows. I also have a swinger maybe you have seen it.

I bought the rallye gauges in Carlisle about 6 years ago. There was a shop from Arizona that rebuilt the gauges at that show so I had them test them and ultimately rebuild them. I honestly can't remember the name of that company and I don't even know if they are still in business. The dash cover was done by Just Dashes and the rest of the restoration was done right in the shop where the car is being worked on here in CT.

they are originals that were re-plated by Bass Plating in Bloomfield, CT
I think Scott Smith Harms can do them in a lot more accurate colour, same as Holley carbs....Stephan Fournier also does them in a colour that's more accurate . Contact either one of those guys...
Stephan Fournier's BEFORE - AFTER
Beautiful! :popcorn: :popcorn:
I really like Stephan's work.
The drab, "Factory Correct " yellow cadmium/dichromate color for carbs and other potmetal parts has it's place.

Yeah it's a big milestone on a journey that has taken wsyyyy too long!!!
I can see the light at the end of the tunnel though. The engine is getting painted next week and the k frame is already built out so the engine should be in the car within 3 weeks. Another big milestone.
Then it's "just" interior, wiring, top, brakes, fuel lines, exhaust.
That dash looks great, especially now that it is back in the car.
NICE
:wrenching:
Terrific! I put brake and fuel lines in pretty much before anything else. You'll find it will be hard to take breaks at this point. Everything you mount just looks so good you won't want to stop.
That looks great but I've never seen the Road Lamp switch mounted there on a Rally Dash. On a Standard dash, yes on a Rallye, I've only seen it on the lower part of the dash frame.

Ut-oh.
Do you have any pics of where it should be installed with a rallye?
I just googled this for the pic
There should be a hole for the switch and a locator hole for the switch bezel indexing pin already there.
Yup...just went back and looked at the dash picture.....In 1970, with a rally dash the switch is mounted below like in the picture above.

Are you saying that on a 71 rally dash it should be under the switch panel? I've never seen that either.
No....I'm not saying that. 71 is the same as 70.

I did a little digging in the MMC Detroit ICCA judging guide and it looks like the switch is correct being mounted in any number of positions. It doesn't mention a difference between standard and Rallye dash locations.
Dash looks great!
In typical Mopar fashion, Multiple Choices. I always thought it looked odd thrown on there like an after thought when it is mounted under the switch panel no matter what gauge package it had. Add the fact that there should be pre punched holes for it in the bottom of the dash frame only adds to the confusion.
Whichever way you go, you car looks great

I just assumed that it was for my car since it came out of the rear seat but, yeah...after further review, the car came with burnt orange interior and the sequence number is off by quite a bit.
If anyone knows the car that matches the build sheet, let them know it's been found!

Make sure you take the 4 speed rods off before you install the drive line and if your going up thru the bottom, it's much easier if the valve covers are off and the steering box unbolted and strapped to the side of the engine.
The Hemi looks awesome !!

@HEMICUDA (https://forum.e-bodies.org/mlist/hemicuda_27) Thanks for the advice. Hopefully the drive line goes in soon. Need to address a few minor things with the engine first.
Hard to focus on work with a trio like that to check out.
Oh, I know of Labreque and have seen their work. You're in good hands. Can't wait to see your finished car.
I've known Mike Labrecque for over 25 years now...Hands down.....a super nice guy, talented like no other when it comes to body and paint work. Their shop might not be the most well known shop around, but they turn out some of the nicest cars in the world :worship: :worship: :worship:

Ran into a major complication with the restoration. All progress has come to a sudden and dramatic halt.
Anyone ever seen one of these before and know how to proceed???

I've seen that a couple of times myself. :) That's one of those 1 of 1 models, very rare and quite expensive! :bigmoney: On the bright side maybe you will have a sidekick or two (or more) to help with this and fiture projects. :yes: I have one that likes pink and one that likes purple so now I'm in search of FM3 and FC7 projects to go along with my GF3. Unless I win the lottery they will be sadly disappointed. :thinking: :rofl:

Stunning! :bravo: :worship: :cooldance:
I'm not a convertible only guy but man there's just something about the '70/71 Cuda verts that are undeniably sexy. IMHO the verts of those two years are just awesome and would make me take a vert over a hardtop any day of the week and twice on Sundays.
I agree. I've always wanted a real deal 71 Cuda but when I came across a 71 convertible in the base model, I immediately decided it had to be a vert over a performance coupe. Surprising they didn't sell more in 1971.
Latest pics. Not a ton of progress since the daughter took over the run of things in the house.

New NOS tips installed. They fit the car much better than the stainless ones.

Not much to update but we did get original (not repop) weather-stripping installed on the top and all of the argent parts painted.
Looking good.
The build looks great.
I have a question and i think it has to do with a visual mirage. If you took a level and put it across both valve covers would it come out level? It almost looks like the motor is clocked to the passenger side (higher) than the driver side. Must just be me.
Anyway, that build should come out a real head turner. :banana:

But yes, it's at Mike's shop. I saw a car he did at a local show, researched his shop and knew that he was the guy that was going to do the car.
If you looks a few pages back in this thread, you and I talk about it being at Mike's shop...it think it was you pointed out that the calipers were hung on the wrong sides.

I just spoke to Mike the day before yesterday. I'll be meeting with him next week to discuss the plan for a full restoration on my 71 383 Cuda. It will be a joint effort with him doing the paint & body work while I do the mechanicals, and various sub assemblies. Looking forward to finally getting my project started after 2 years of parts gathering. While I was at his shop in April I saw your car ...beautiful!

Hey Mark! Thanks for remembering me.
While my repaired, and retexured ones are coming out nice, I discovered my other car has some badly chalked out and crumbly ones.
Unless of course, I'm not mister lucky....
Rear seats are upholstered now.
Just need seat belts and the convertible top.
Windshield and trim installed. Pay no attention to the GTO convertible blocking the view!
The Barracuda convertible is really looking fantastic. Great job. Now you have really got to share a little information on the GTO convertible. I see it has The Judge decal on it. It looks to be a great car also. When I bought my Charger Rallye off a local car lot in 1987, there were two orange Judges sitting in the same lot. The pair were for sale at a combined price of around $5500 if I remember right. I kick myself for not buying the pair. Please share a little info on the GTO. Thanks.

I don't know much about the Judge convertible. It's not my car, it's just another car at the shop where mine is. I do know that the owner has had it for a long time...close to if not the original owner. It also just got finished up right before the MCACN show and was presented there and did very well.
