    Reconditioning your heater box - some lessons learned.

    I've reconditioned the heater box and bought one of the kits to replace the old foam and seals. This was an adventure, to say the least, especially trying to repair the old blower motor. Instead of repairing it, it was basically destroyed when I was disassembling it. The brass bearing was...

    Update - 71 Bigfoot Cuda

    I've been learning some valuable lessons on this project, the most important is to clean the parts immediately as you take the car apart. This would have saved me a great deal of time and kept me motivated to keep the project going, not to mention I would have been more familiar with the parts...

    Rosette VIN rivets - Amazon v ECS

    Here's a comparison of the rivets you can get off of Amazon for GM "NOS" v. the ones from ECS. The ECS rivets are on the top and right in the photos. The Amazon ones have a thicker base than the ECS. Additionally, there appears to be some aging on the ECS rivets, FWIW while the GM "NOS"...

    Need help identifying a Rube Goldberg part

    My photographic memory has run out of film. When taking apart my 71 Cuda, I recall this part being "overengineered" and thought I wouldn't forget where this went because it was so funny. I guess they pay these engineers to come up with Rube Goldberg parts. However, now I can't remember what...

    The Bigfoot Cuda Project, 1971 340 Cuda

    I'm calling this the Bigfoot Cuda Project. FYI, my dad made the Bigfoot film with Bob Gimlin and Roger Patterson while he was working with the CIA (no joke). Hence, this is called the Bigfoot Cuda Project. If you want to more about his time with the CIA, including his role in the DB Cooper...

    Help on transmission decode. One mystery leads to another.

    I was musing as to whether the floor pans were original in my Cuda. Turns out they are not and it was involved in an accident somewhere along its path to me. As you can see on the door code, the door is from what appears to be from a N0B car, or N is a 383 car built in 1970 in the Hamtrack...

    Original Interior Floor Pan with seam sealer

    This is my restoration of the interior of my 71 Cuda. Sorry the pics aren't better, just wanted to get an idea from start to end in the interior restoration, as there was some pitting in the metal and a couple of pin holes in the floor pan under the driver's side pedals. I sealed them up with...

    340 Engine Rebuild

    I am in the Austin area and looking to see if anyone has a line on someone nearby that can rebuild a 340. I've talked to a couple body shop guys and they said people that are able to work on these are becoming more rare by the day. Any advice/suggestions greatly appreciated.
