I think some people would be surprised at how long it takes to do wiring and make it look decent.

I hear ya, it took me weeks and weeks to finish wiring the entire car + EFI.

I may want to pick your brain if I run into any issues or am unsure about something if that's o.k. The Guys at Hotwire and American auto wire have been great...but sometimes owners have good input.

Please do. However I am running an aftermarket ECU the rest of the harness is essentially a "hacked up" painless and vintage air harness combined. I did my fuse/relay box from scratch too.

Dash is going back into the Cuda after days of wiring everything under the dash. Now the dash can come out with simply unplugging 4 connections and 1 wire. It looks great and everything fits and works nicely. The Custom made speedhut gauges really look great. I will get a pic of it all lit up as soon as I get everything checked and powered up.

So I have been wrking on finishing and testing the wiring and dash components. So far everything works great. Kim at Passion for Mopar's sent me out a new wiper motor and I installed that. It was a little tricky to sory out since I am not running the original switch. But a couple relay's, a resistor and an LED switch later and I have it working as a two speed Hi-LOW-Off setup; not that I ever plan on needing them but if I do they will work fine.
I installed the new column and Billet steering wheel and am currently working on the linkage to the PW steering. The rear window went in and the rear trim as well. I am just about to a point that I need the motor done to finish the other stuff. Here are a couple pics.

Really like that custom center console - I may have to steal that idea.  Nice work!

Attention to detail is what differentiates a good project and great project.
All the little details no one notices when done right but everyone sees when done badly.


I am plagued with that as well.

Hey there.    Haven't heard from you for a while.  I know you were considering buying another car.  Whats up with your 74 Cuda?
