Very nice, I am excited for you!

Finally got the windows figured out, the locks working and the vapor barriers went in 2 days ago.

Looking to put the rear quarter panels in and the door panels and I don't think there is anything major left to do!

[HP_Cuda]

Rear quarter panels are in - what fun!!! 

Pics coming soon.

That's the plan Mike, and hopefully keep it out of the thread Wrecked, Mangled and Destroyed Mopars

Well after putting the door panels on I was staring at them and enjoying my interior when I got this feeling something was missing. Yep you guessed it - the Cuda emblems on the door panels. So out they came again, ughh and lucky for me I had tooling marks on the back of them to note where the emblem holes go. But one upside that even Alan may appreciate - it gave me a chance to paint the cup holder hardware black.

Glad I had some extra clips cause I bent two of them and didn't want to fool with trying to put them back to their original shape.

Glad that is done. Onto some small issues to iron out - get the speedo to work, add OS sensor bungs, clean up, and add trim rings and center caps.

HP-Cuda. Could I ask you how the upper door panel clips attach to the door frame?  Did you put the bottom or top of the panel on first? The service manual is no help on this.  The door panels were already off my car when I bought.  Neither panel had the upper clips and I just recently found out about them and ordered a set from Dave at Roseville.  However, I'm having trouble getting the clips to attach to the door frame so I either have the clips on the panel wrong or I'm trying to attach them to the door frame incorrectly    Any help on this would be appreciated.  I know it can't be that hard but........

the clips go onto the trim panel and reinforce the plastic tab against the door frame when mounting the trim panel. I'll see if I can find a picture I had.
