Getting close to being done, I didn't want to hack up my wiring for my radio and also not change my speakers to go with a modern radio with the vintage ebody look. So with that being said I decided to go ahead and step up to the plate and buy a original 70 ebody Am/FM radio. OUCH that hurt. But I have one. Will be here this week

Got her running today. Boy did she sound good. Uploading a video to YouTube and I will post a link here. I am thinking this is the first time in 30 to 35 years since she ran,


Congrats on making some noise!  I'm looking forward to that day on my car project.

I have one electrical gremlins, my title lamp stays on all the time. I first thought the time delay would cut it off but it dont I bought a new time delay but it didn't help. Any ideas?

I had an AM/FM in my original '70 Cuda with rear speakers and fader switch.  I thought I was the hot ticket back then.  :lookatthat:  My current Cuda came with a AM 8 Track.  I sent it to re be rebuilt and had them add a port for my I-Touch so I can play my music.  Unfortunately it doesn't have rear speakers and I didn't add any as it is #s car.  However, I did upgrade/replace the three speakers in the dash so it sounds pretty good considering.  :bigthumb:

So I have not been working on my as much as I should, doing the grandpa thing, "Baby Sitting". Love the babies but I had forgot how much work it takes. Eat-change a diaper-eat, change a diaper lol.
I did work on my back seat. Cleaned and painted the springs, bought burlap and .40 spring steel for the seats. Waiting for a warm day to put on the seat covers.
Also bit the bullet and bought new rocker panel moldings.  Also bought the plastic clip set, there is a metal clip that goes on the front and I was lucky enough to have the original set.
  But my original moldings gas a hole for a screw in front of the rear wheels, the repop don't have a screw hole. Should I put a screw in it like the original?

I used 1" tape as a guide to replace the spring steel wire. Then removed it  after I finished
