Deadline to 2024. The 73 Cuda will be done.

Drilled and tapped and have some bolts cut off to be tack welded in permanently for the E-Stopp.  I'll have to remember to put my torsion bar in first! Stuck to the USCartools subframe connector.

I've never seen an electric e-brake like that.  Besides not having the cable coming from the front is there any other significant advantage?  I assume you just have a switch on the dash or console?

I put one in my car as well. Didn't like the 'clothes line' of a stock ebody ebrake cable. I used Lokar cables from brakes to actuator. Much neater look than stock. I put the button to operate it in the cigarette lighter spot. I don't smoke and I won't let anybody else smoke in my car so I figured it was a pretty good spot. Fit perfectly without having to open up the hole or anything.

Checked initial date, and glanced through posts, is the 7 year plan still on-track to finish 2024?

[Swamp Donkey]

Yes.  I'm in the re-assembly process now! @Katfish

Some sound deadening material in.  2 boxes of Kilmat that in total covers 72 square feet.   36 per box.  Just ordered another box and a half for the doors, roof and trunk.  Mounting battery in trunk and driving myself insane measuring for max rear tire width!

I have 315 Nitto NT05's in my stock wheel wells but using an offset spring hanger setup from DrDiff.
Don't think you can get anymore without surgery.

[Swamp Donkey]

Yeah.  I'm planning on an 11" rim and 305 tires.  I should be good I think.  Because I had my inner fenders trimmed a bit while bodywork was being done.

Have you shown that inner fender work, or could you provide a little detail as to where you concentrated effort?  I'm going for similar tire size target, and was under the impression that the inner fender well area was sufficient, but that I'd likely need to roll the fender lip.  Is that where your trimming was or did you create space elsewhere?

[Swamp Donkey]

@gzig5 here are some pictures of when I made my tire measurement gimmick.  My fenders were not "rolled" but I just had them trimmed by about 1/4 to 1/2 inch.

Thought this build looked familiar...from I/G   
I just installed some sound deadener as well.

Keep chugging, I just got my car running after 15 months of project (engine & transmission swap).
No where near as nice as your project, but that first drive made it all worth it.

Motor break-in on the dyno.  615.9 HP with a carburetor.  Another 30-50 HP is there if I would have been able to run my fuel injection system.  Needed a 3 bar MAP sensor, a different O2 sensor and I didn't have two capacitors.  Anyway I'm pleased with the results so far.  I have a D1SC procharger ready to go for a little more zip! 

[Katfish]

Nice, what's the new ETA for completion?

[Swamp Donkey]

I'm not too sure.  I legitimately have just about every single part to finish the car.  I just have to get crackin and get it done.  Might be next summer realistically.

[blown motor]

What engine is that?
