Hello,
My son and I have taken on a 70 Cuda project car, we are hoping to just get it up and running soon so we can enjoy it while restoring it. I finished my B body road runner last year and am new to E bodys. Looks like I need lots of tech support, The car is mostly apart and we are inventorying everything that came with the car looks like a mess right now, bolts and parts everywhere. I am proud of my son as this will be his first restoration and he picked this car and paid for 80% of it makes this old mopar dad so proud :)
Anyway the car was a 340 4 speed car 3.23 suregrip. I had a 383 in it previous owner blew it up however fortunately we have one from my road runner ready to run :) Its a plum crazy color car hoping to get the body and paint on it by summer we shall see.... my just put it back together and have some fun for awhile and let my son take over and restore it the rest of the way when he can we are dying to drive it around even in primer :)
Hoping to get some good support here we all ready need to know how the upper window trim drivers and passenger side goes together and what gasket material do we use that is stick on like the old stuff?
