Nice on all accounts.
Not that this is the forum for it but how did the T5 go? Contemplating one for a 64 Falcon I have.

Thanks. It wasn't hard to do since the fox body driver train is exactly the same as the 69 fit wise. The only hard part I had is I had no lift all jackstand and Jack. A lift would have made life easier

Another update on the cuda. The quarter panel patch basically done just probably need to weld little bit more ,grind down the welds and then some mud. Other than that it's done. The body work finish line is getting closer and closer. The holes u see in the patch panel is me still deciding if I want side marker lights.

Thanks. I need some help on identifying this differential if it has a suregrip.

Your detail pics is going to help replace the tail light panel.

You have pictures of two 8.75 3rd members, one 741 case & one 489 case, non-Sure Grip probably a 3.23 by the width of the ring gear.. Possibly 3.55... If they are Chrysler gears the ratio will be stamped into the ring gear..

Thanks for the help. Guess the seller didnt know since they came with the car when I bought it and he said it was a suregrip. Oh well

I got the tail light panel out today and the air hammer made the job easy. I'm going to have to start refreshing things up because everything that has a mopar logo on cost a  Fortune. I also did a a little test but I have a question is it best to weld the corner brace on first or after I spot weld in the tail light panel

[Cuda70-74]

I'm test fitting the tail light panel and I'm kinda lost. I know the tail light panel welds in from the bottom of the trunk floor and at the corner. What about the side of the tail light panel does that get welded or just seam seal? If someone has a pic of there tail light panel install it would help.

Finally got the tail light panel in with the help of a friend yesterday all was well until somehow a  piece of metal go into my left eye later in the day. Went to the  emergency room at 12am and got the piece of metal out at about 3am man my eye was burning.  It feels alot better this morning just tears running out now. I need some help with welding in the tail light panel brace. I know it goes thru the quarter panel but does it weld too the back part of the trunk drop flange which I have Mark with the blue arrow and then it welds from the out side?

I'm not sure these will give you the detail you need, but these are the pics of when my body man installed them.  However, he filled over the welds with fiberglass body sealer to smooth out the welds. Pics aren't in any particular order.

Thanks for the reply it helped a bit but still can't see if the trunk drop off panel gets weld first then the quarter panel to the brace
