OK I got it working. I ended up enlarging the holes in the shroud some so that I could mount it a tad higher. Also found that there was a high spot of solder or weld on the radiator that when I tightened down the screws distorted the shroud in a very slight arch as you look down on the...

Ok I got the fan off shroud and fan back on. The cardboard Daves69 suggested was fantastic like I thought when he said it. Now that the shroud is on (it has a label genuine Mopar or something to that effect). But it rubs the fan at the top. I loosened the screws to both the radiator to...

Wow, what a great bunch of information - I will use it all but I will try and leave the radiator in place. The cardboard for protecting the radiator is something I would not of thought of - but is the kind of thing I would have wished I would have after I did some damage. Loosening the bolts...

I need to install a fan shroud on my 70 440 cuda so that I can get the factory air worked on. This is probably a stupid question but which bolts need to be removed to get the fan off? A B or C on the front thermal clutch? See the lettered lables on the picture below. In case its too hard to...

I know there are several threads discussing wheel and tire sizes, and I have read most. However the sizes I settled on by recording the most popular size combination does not seem to be available in the wheels I want. So I want to see if what is available should work. For my what I wanted was...

interior is black

Color? What is your best guess on what the color is? Deep Burnt Orange (FK5), Burnt Tan Metallic (FT6)? I could do without the white vinyl top. And apparently the white hockey stripe was not available (it was only black). I would prefer a black top - some day if i decide to replace it I...

I will be driving up to the Detroit area next week to complete a deal on a true 70 Cuda 440, numbers matching (except for transmission a big exception I know) factory air, Ralley dash, all original (except trunk floor, and possibly wrong year front seats) it does have a 2nd original color paint...

You are NOT going to believe this... The car was 98% done. I had a a restoration guy finishing up the AC and he was down to installing a new fan switch. I was going to have the car fully go to go in another week after 2.3 years of time and Money. And I find out on Fri the 13th that the...

It sure won't hurt to ask. THANKS

it was in Tampa Fl, Someone else owned the building and there was no insurance.

Damage options Are saying that they will sometimes pay 100% of the agreed value and NOT total the car? Some may be right that its not a total. however, there is mush more damage that this one picture shows. Every panel got some damage, inc the tail panel, frame, dash etc. I'm fine with...

I never thought of trying to settle for as much $ short of totaling it.. I will definitely try. I think if the repairs reaches 70% they have to total it. So maybe I'll ask to settle for 69.99% of the insured value, leaving some money on the table if they will agree not to total it. If the...

I (with help from a friend & Professional) was just about to wrap up a 2.25 year complete restoration. The last thing was an AC switch, and cleaning up the steering wheel. The car is a numbers matching 340 Factory air, automatic 73 CUDA clone w matching numbers, upgraded cam, ceramic headers...

Yes I definitely will keep the original parts. For example - I am going to put on bumpers from a previous year because of the large rubber pieces. I will save the originals and store them. If you guys can remember your first classic project, I am curious when will I be able to turn off my...

I went for it. I'm excited and scared to death - but its only money. I've lost more in the stock market and home value. This will be a lot more fun than either. I will post the details when I get time to type it all up. By the way the fender tag has A6X that means black interior right. I...

I can see loving is so much I won't be considering selling it for a long time. But pleas keep the input coming - I really do appreciate the opinions.

I can see that happening, I've loved these muscle cars - like most of you since I was a teen. You are all right I should focus on fun and what I want..... however keep your advice coming. Thanks all

I am not taking offense to anyone's comments. I am asking opinions and everyone has one. I am just seeking ideas from people with more experience than I have.

My biggest concern now, since hearing for everyone is that if I have this 73 redone even with numbers matching - that I would lose my butt. I have been assuring my wife that it would be better than a new car (loss of $) and I still think that should be true. For my enjoyment and fun a 73 is...
