Dave Congrats! Like others I hate to wait a whole year for the comical commentary and great detail of yet another fantastic build from our resident A12 pilot.
Start the parts thread! |
Thanks for the props, gents!:worship: Nice to see everyone is on board with another build! Yes, another year Lawrence. But look at bright side in that it allows me to hire a top notch video production crew to document the process! :bs::cool2:
Jim, you're on Personal Message speed-dial when the time comes! I appreciate the help. Not as versed in E-Bodies as I am the B-Bodys.:grin: Cheers:beers: Dave |

Alrighty, hard-part finding has begun! :thumbsdown: Well, actually...:biggthumpup::biggthumpup:. Of course Mopar date codes stuff you can't see (like thermostats and such) and I lucked out with finding a Valentine's Day 1970 dated clutch pedal safety switch! This one is almost NOS its so nice. Another thing is Crusty is an AM radio and has a rear speaker and as such, a rear speaker fader switch. Grabbed an NOS switch and harness for it, but still need the bezel and knob. Another rare original part is the Road Lamp bezel. Original on the left, repop on the right and you can see the difference in fonts. :ooo: Would anyone know if I put the repop one in versus the original? Yes...Jim would, and I can't have that!:burnout:
So parts hunting is in full swing! More info on Crusty is it had the Ralleye Wheels do to the drums having the original red paint on them. More to come..... Cheers :beers: Dave |

Along with that rear speaker fader switch is the "Speaker" bezel. This is headed my way, now its just missing the knob and from what a see, looks identical to the radio knobs which are easily found:biggthumpup:
Last major item is the reverse lockout system, and I have a man on it for me at Carlisle this weekend. Actually, its James, the former owner, and with him knowing what it needs and doesn't, I'm sure I'll get the remaining parts shortly! :smile: Hmmmm..... gonna be time to start buying the NEW parts soon!!! [Sniff][sniff] what's that smell? Plastic burning. Actually, never completely stopped melting from the Bee to the Stang and now the Cuda. Sort of always in a slow smolder....:rolleyes2: Cheers Dave |
Your a machine!!!

Keep em comin.

Crusty is coming back together! Should be here in about a week!! Kid in a candy store? That's me! :wink: Drunk in a brewery? That'd be me again! :biggthumpup: But only in a craft brewery....... I'm kind of beer afisheun..afficioal..affic...eh, what's that college word for snob?:hmmm: Well, unless it's free, then I'm all over it! After all, I am a cheap pilot! :laugh:
Cheers:beers: Dave |
wow Dave! Its going to be an amazing Cuda when its done. I cant remember last time I seen a shaker on a 275 ho 340 either. Very nice!

Red drums? It may have had Road wheels.....I need to check. Something in the back of my alleged brain is telling me that 340 Challengers may have come standard with 15's.....what about 'Cuda's? Hmmmmm.... |
Jim,
Drums have the paint so I'd assume it had them too. Car gets picked up today and here Friday! More pics shortly.....oh, I know you'd notice that bezel! BTW...I need a pair of original 340 3-Pin Shaker Hood emblems. You have a set? Should be easy to find :dunno: Cheers Dave |
