Got the Cuda moved to my son's place to get ready for undercoating. We got the doors, fenders, hood and grill parts installed and aligned. Foe some reason, the splash shields were a #$%^& to install, but finally got them in OK.
Very nice work.
Thanks!! Man, this is slow work!!! I never would have made it past my first shift on the assembly line!!!
Installing door handles with Dynamic Renovations reinforcing plate. Will use their plates on the mirrors as well.

This “authentic” repro starter splash shield says it fits 67-72 A-Bodies - NOT!
The upper one is for A bodies and not reproduced. I’ve been able to find a couple of good used ones.

Hopefully AMD will refund / credit for incorrect items. You should send them pictures you posted here and "maybe" they'll actually re-produce an accurate part. Bummer, at least you were able to locate a good used one.
lots of plastic and Ready to start spraying the undercoat. Using Resto Ricks undercoat. http://www.restorick.com/proddetail.php?prod=Undercoat
Undercoating finished. A messy job!!! (The fuel tank was on the car when the factory optional full undercoating was applied and there should be overspray on it) Exhaust going in next.

Why clothes pins? When applied as directed the 3M weatherstrip adhesive is instant…maybe one or two in a tight turn but that many ??. Apply to both surfaces lightly…allow to dry to semi tacky then attach….I used it incorrectly for years till I read the directions….
Yes, the instructions say to let it get tacky. I was rushing a bit, so didnt wait that long!
Jim, my cuda was factory undercoated and the gas tank was completely undercoated as well. Same thing with my 66 Charger. Just an observation.

Seemed to be very variable and depended on the poor guy who was in the pit shooting undercoat!! I've seen some tanks with a lot of undercoat like you have seen and others with very little.

MOPAR .. Move Over, Plymouth Approaching Rapidly!
Same with my 68 Barracuda.Gas tank was completely covered. May have been a dealer installed option as I've seen others that had very little coating.
Some things you just can't do Jim... I'm still waiting for stone chips on the Bee before I'll even spray the wheel wells !!
Beautiful work that you are doing there, regarding the third member paint daubs, would you happen to know what color would designate a 3.55 gear ratio? and what about the rear spring paint daubs, can you explain those also? keep up the beautiful work and thanks for sharing..Rich
3.55 with or without sure grip??
