Holy Moly...Wish I could afford a state of the art motor transplant without it costing a ton of work for trans braces, additional torque box adds...I have no welding skills to do it myself. If anybody has some good under-carriage shots of the additional torque boxes that were placed on the Cuda, please share. K?

I would do what ever you want to do, weld them it? stamp the in? or nothing. It's your car and your build. It's all about how YOU want the car. If you ever sell the car just be honest and tell the new owner what you did. What every one is and should be concerned with is when someone sells a car without divulging what the car really is. Like passing of a car as real and it is fake. A few years back with the fake HEMI Cudas. good luck with the build and most of all have FUN

WOW WOW WOW, I know it is not OEM, but my upholstery shop finished my dash pad. Two week turn around Vs 6 months at Just dashes. Don't get me wrong, JD has done amazing work on my prior projects. Since this is a Resto-mod, blue leather was my choice. Would love some feedback from my friends here.

That dash will look sic against your blue paint! You original question is something I may face when I get my car back from the acid dip. Although I'll be replacing a lot of the sheet metal and the frames rails, the radiator, firewall and cowl both seem solid. Worse comes to worse I will save them and put them on the key chain.
