Dose your overhead consolett function properly? Mine was just there for the ride when i got my car. It was a brain teaser, but it's all better now.  :D

Just read about guide coat, gonna get some. Not that it matters what the Cuda looks like in the end, just for practice.
I have not tried all the electricals yet, my alternator is not working so fixing that is step one, then I can check everything.
I don't even know whats in the overhead console.

Cool. Do you know if there is wiring schematics anywhere for the Gran Coupé?

Thanks! I wonder how the low fuel lamp works, is there a separate sensor for that or does it read the voltage on the fuel meter somehow?

@soundcontrol  A relay #2983828, located to the right of the glove compartment.  :yes:

Done with the driver side quarter fix. What a patchwork. I managed to get it done with the rest of the left fender and a piece of the old rear valance. I took a long piece of the top edge from the fender and borrowed a shrink/stretcher from a friend, managed to make a long piece of the wheelhouse lip that way.
Not perfect but at least not just rust. I'm sure it will hold up over the summer!  :D

The body filler is difficult, I don't know how much to apply or how to apply it.
Even when I apply that stuff I can feel that it not straight, I put too much in one spot and too little in another... :dunno:
Looks so easy on YouTube...

Borrowed some sanders, but they seem to be pretty crappy.
tested a bit on the right quarter.

I guess if you sell the car and say "....all original metal" .....you wouldn't be lying... :haha: :haha: :haha: :haha:

Last fix on the exterior, no more rust holes.
Just the drivers side floor to fix.
