Very cool with your daughter.
A few years back with mine at probably 5 years old. I have a Dakota R/T and like to "merge" into traffic where I want. Pulled out and got onto it a bit getting up to speed. I look over at her strapped into car seat. She looks at me with a big smile and only said. More....

Life is to be viewed thru the windshield. Not rear view mirror.
You are the only one in charge of your destiny.

I am looking forward to her riding with me. We daily drive in my 2016 Subaru WRX. it's not the fastest thing but it launches hard and pulls corners well. She enjoys that!

The rumble and toque of the 'Cuda will be fun. She loves to go out in the Warlock too.

Bumper is on about as best as we could manage.

Bumper looks good to me.  Wasn't it a bit of a pain installing it with the valance already on?  I know on my '70 'Cuda I had to undo the top bolts and let it hang out so I could get to the bumper bolts.

It was. What is the proper way to install the bumper? Before the valance?

After I was done it seemed like if I really tried I could get to the two center valance bolts after the bumper was on.

Definitely bumper then valance.... Much easier...

Got the headliner in and have been working through the various idle tweaks in the software. I'll get some rolling insurance on it today or tomorrow and drive it around the neighborhood.

Yesterday I installed the headliner. I'll try to get the front and rear glass installed today or tomorrow as well.

You are soooo close to done.  Then maybe a bit of tuning.  Keep up the good work.

Awsome car project you got there.
Can i ask what tire/wheel size you use and the back space on the wheels?
Thinking about using 17" front and 18" back on my 70`Cuda

Hi,
255/45/17 front and 295/45/18 rear. The wheel spec details are actually in a thread I created on Cuda-challenger years ago.

Probably tonight, just added the collision insurance back on it. Hopefully I don't need it!
