Nice,I put a set on my 440 SB Challenger TA perfect fit.

Picked up a new bearing from a member here,,. works great if you want to get rid of a reverse lockout tube,

 

[Marty.]

Impressive build!

 

[SFEbody]

Been away for the Holidays but finally got my dash switched over to Rallye dash with Dakota Digital gauges. Looking forward to seeing them fired up.. Wiring. is all ready for the install as well, just need my dash pad.

I think they look amazing close to originals

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?

 

[SFEbody]

Hey guys, the shop finally started again on my body, metal work is complete and now they are starting on the body, Should have it jammed and engine bay ready for drive train install in a couple weeks. Then on to final Paint...

Car is coming along great. That will be a fun car.

Beauty! Progress looks good, love the hemi conversion I’m thinking of the same thing

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

Momentary start switch for the Gen3 motor.

 

[Matt Johnson]

Momentary start switch for the Gen3 motor.

Well not as exciting as a ejection seat but probably much more practical

 

[SFEbody]

Well you are referring to the pull that poses as a vent cable, that is the actual ejection seat release..

 

[SFEbody]

A little more progress this week, soon off to primer and block and primer and block... I am gettin anxious to drop in the HEMI and 8 speed.....

 

[SFEbody]

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.

 

[Juan Veldez]

Wow, that looks amazing. Love it.

 

[R4Sedan]

I think the Dash looks great, has a real Euro look.

 

[Rapidfire]

Looks nice! Like the clean look with out the speaker cover cut out!

 

[heminut]

That dash pad looks great! I wish I could get something like that done locally!

 

[jujuka]

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.
