Thanks so much.  All I had time for recently was installing the tail panel stainless trim, rear bumper and original valance panel.  Starting to really look like a Cuda again. Lol

Thanks guys :)  I'm ready to tackle the headliner next.  Can't  wait to install more of the polished stainless trim.   Once again, my friend Mitch in Vermont helped me out with clear side glass.  He had quite a few nice pieces and let me pick through his stash to find the nicest pieces.  And shockingly,  they are dated the same as my chipped and scratched originals!!   Super nice guy who  wouldn't take a penny for the glass and a mint left door window regulator.    :worship:

A true Mopar friend! I know they make the repro stuff but I would sooner install scratched OEM than the repro.

In the past week, I installed the headliner (recovered and reused the original sail panel boards) and installed my dash and steering column.  Thanks so much to my buddy Steven for calling me right away when he spotted this beautiful original dash pad that Tim in Alabama was selling  on Facrbook.  Huge thanks to Tim for bringing it to Carlisle and handing it off to my buddy Steven to bring home for me.  Two great guys!!

Looking Great! Funny back in the 70's & 80's we would look to the northern areas for dash pads & soft trim cause the cooler climate seemed to be easier on the vinyl.... Sheet metal was trading bait..... LOL..

Now you find a cherry dash pad in Alabama.... I bet it came from up north...

Tim is a very nice Southern gentleman,  and he took the time to talk with me on his way to church and agree on a fair price.  Nice guy.  He said ironically,  it was removed from an AAR Cuda. Lol. He said he's had it installled in his 71 Cuda for quite some time.  He decided the time had finally come to install the correct dash pad in his car.  Win win for both of us.  :banana:
