Hello to all, just joined the forum, look forward to sharing and receiving information on the E bodies, I have owned my 1970 'CUDA since I was a senior in high school, 1973. Luckily I never butchered the car, can't imagine why cause I was kinda crazy back then with getting all the speed possible,,LOL,,anyhows,,I have drug it out of the barn from where I parked it in 1987 when kids were main goals in life and now its gonna be my retirement toy. Its a number matching 340 with all the goodies including some Gran Coupe options, overhead console, gill plates, shades, etc as well as the lil HP small block and 727. I have all the sheet metal I need but are looking for the lil plastic splash guards that go under the front end at sway bar location? Anyone have any idea what the part numbers are or if they are available aftermarket? I may also have some spare parts, haven't done inventory yet but I sold a AAR a few years back for to purchase a bus shed for my bus and I kept some of the parts, will try list them soon in case someone is looking for NOS or OS. Again, thanks for the invite and look forward to talking with everyone,,,,,

Welcome, great story on your car! Not many get to do that( keeping it all those years)  Roseville is a great resource for reproduced parts and Dave gives us a discount to boot.

 :welcome:@bobcat1989 From central New York! Your car must have the premium leather interior option, I like the over head console. What color combo do you have. any chance you could show us the fender tag?  :cheers:

JS29, yes it does have the premium leather and NO that is one thing I cannot find, I removed it (fender tag) years ago along with the build sheet I found in the rear seat springs,,,,put them both in a safe place for safe keeping and have not found them to this day,,,they are still in a safe place, lol,,may be when i pass the kids may find them IF they are diligent in searching,,as for the headliner, I have contacted Dayclona and he sent me quotes for the fiberglass,,console is good just corners broke off hardboard,,

@bobcat1989  I repaired my headliner with fiberglass mat and resin, work it in multi-pal layers. worked out well.
