Update on the cuda. I got my bracket for the rear disc brake where u can bolt on 05-14 mustang  caliber. I had to change my fuse/relay box which is from 99-04 jeep grand cherokee since the new dodge/Chrysler use a electronic fuse/relay box which is computer control. I'm going thru the harness now and  separating the wires that are needed from the ones that are not. I'm starting with the  orange connector.

Not specific year. But to take a stab I would say late 80s to 90s van.
So close that 3 out of the 4 snap clips it has works to existing firewall hole. remaining one i used a thin plate of aluminum attached using the previous heater/motor screw holes.
My final plan will be to use Vintage Air setup with the hoses routed inside the fender wells. Not for aesthetics but for turbo room...

Here are some pics.
Will post follow up with more pics

More.


After wiring was installed i sealed harness off with non adhesive electrical tape. Silicone i believe and it stretches tight and seems to hold well.
Finished off with split mesh sleeve that I was also smart enough ahead of time to slip shrink tubing over.

Looks good keep up the good work. I'm still going thru the harness along with paint and bodywork.

Another update on the cuda. This is the part of the body work I hate blocking and sanding but its key to the final finish. Its brings back memories when I did my 67 mustang coupe years ago. I also got my rotors for the rear. In order for them to fit u will have to grinding the rotor, hub bore on a ford is 70.5mm and dodge is 71.5mm.

I got my rear  calipers today and install them. They don't look bad but I'll have to change bracket so the caliper will be facing forward instead of how it is now.

The rotors where you ground out the bore - I thought the rotors were-hub centric to ensure concentricity with the axle.  It looks like you have lost this.

Am I missing something?

That is correct I was suppose to only grind the out the center of the rotor not the hub bore but it still fit fine. I need to use a sanding drum or drill grinding cone for the rotor. There are plenty of other  average Joe running the same setup as mine that dont want to spend a ridiculous amount of money for the same setup. I already know most wouldn't agree with it.

:iagree: 
Cuda70-74 You could use a lathe. If you get a vibration this would be the first place I'd look.

Thanks for the input. Hopefully by the end of the summer I can get it running at least.
