What's It Worth: 'Cuda Rocker Moldings

[Cuda_mark]

I went to buy a set from the dealer in the last 70's and all they had was left sides still in inventory. I was thinking that I could just put a left side on the right side and no one would notice! Lol. Just a dumb kid. I've still got them and never found a right side NOS at all. Oh well.

If I had to guess, your NOS left one is the only NOS one in existence!! I could be wrong but I've never seen an NOS one, ever.

I must have gotten lucky, got my set 3/78.  Glad I didn't wait!

The NOS ones that I've had did not have the black painted on them

Excellent thread !!
Would anyone know the most accurate paint and process to refinish these?

As a serious Mopar restoration guy said to me "do you want it factory acccurate or do you want it nice?"

Factory has some definite 'iffy' areas due to the assembly line "get it done" approach.  The look nice approach is as outlined above.  Lots of masking.

Frankly, I was shocked the factory didn't have some sort of die cut masking template, but they evidently went much more low tech.

I'll post up how my masking event goes.  I plan on masking off the argent and shooting the black to be 'similar but neater' than the factory job.

Go to page 9.  Great videos and details.

@Wayne  has done a great restoration thread.  I suggest viewing the entire thread and all the videos.  Great thread!!

I am pretty sure this is the same exact set I saw on Craigslist last week. The broken part looks identical.

Seriously $1000???  Are parts really getting that rare?  Or are ebay sellers just trying to cash in on the Mopar price craze, making it worse for everyone?

Cashing in.

I just saw a set yesterday for 100 bucks on craigslist somewhere.  year one reproductions.
Arizona I think.
