for those that do not use the Urethane and like to use the 3/8 Butyl tape/ribbon sealer. I have that in stock 15.00 for a 15 foot roll. + the ride

Damn
Sometimes I forget the obvious.  You know I would rather spend my money with you!

common as its tough being the little guy in the mopar market.

all good though as your Cuda is about done.

Still waiting on my restoration battery. If it's not here in time I will yank the one out of my Road Runner to use in the Cuda.

Sounds like you are trying to finish in time for a show right around the same time as Carlisle....

Speaking of Carlisle. I haven't seen any Duster updated progress pics.

Currently waiting on a few parts to finish the interior.  Pixie will probably do another update this weekend.  Feels like we are trudging thru molasses to get her done in time.  I bet you know how that feels.

All to well.  The closer the deadline the more things fight you. Always running into to little odds and ends you need that are holding you up.

Exactly! @MoparDave has been a lifesaver!

  Same here!  He understands how important it is on a time crunch. Just one of the many reasons to use him.

Pretty much done.  Some small odds and ends to go.

Fantastic work man.  It looks awesome.     You did a great job and should be very proud of that car.  Let us know how your first show goes.  We already know you won your first award before it was even done.   

[Shane Kelley]

Thank you! I will add that I had to cut 1/2" off the rear wheel lips to get the tires to clear once I lowered it. I would say they probably would have hit with a dip in the road running a pretty good speed before I lowered it. Going to make installing wheel opening moldings even more fun now.

The car turned out Awesome.... I really liked the attention to details and extra steps to ensure a really nice paint job like in the trunk and the cowl area under the fenders.

Your car is just disgusting, disgustingly ....so well done! 
Ok is that an RPM air gap? If so how did you fit the air cleaner under the hood?

Yes it is. No issues at all with the air cleaner, hood clearance. . I'm running a Quick Fuel carburetor also.

Very cool watching your car come to life.... thank you for sharing all the great pics

With the car lowered I couldn't get the camber set. So I installed a set of Hotchkis upper control arms and also their adjustable strut rods. The strut rods allowed me to get the wheelbase within 1mm. It was off by 1/4 inch from one side to other. I measured from the rear spring mount to the center of the grease fitting on lower ball joints. Car lined up perfect and drives great. Next up I will be installing their shocks. Hoping to get to the machine shop today and get the steel to build my sub frame connectors.
