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. 

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?

Will this help ?

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?

It's ALWAYS something....

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! 

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...
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...

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