Like Dave says they are unpainted. Stripped the black off mine when I realized they should be bare. They are one year only I believe.

Thanks Dave I look forward meeting you one of theses days! I have read a lot of your post ,I know you know your stuff, when it comes to theses cars anyway! Im not far from you guys hopefully we'll run into each other at Carlisle or something? I know what you mean with projects. That's my advise to anyone. One at a time and don't stop until its done. I love the results, it makes it well worth it. While I got you guys, what size fan spacer should this car of mine have? 7/8?
Thanks again!

I found this thread that no one replied to. I posted the trouble I am having!The hood wants to favor the driver side when I close it. Its sitting to tight on the driver side and to big of a gap on pass side. is there something I am missing here? its fine every where else but it just keeps kicking over when I close it!Any help?

Yea I had the hinges rebuilt new rivets! But not to tight like it can't move
And fenders are already favoring the drivers side so theres no more adjusting there.

We had sort of the same issue with my Dad's Dart hood, So my paint and body guy came over and with the hood up, gave it a big shove to the side that needed less gap. After a couple times of "tweaking" it that way, it fit fine.
I tried that first but being the fenders are on theres not much I can push it before it wants to bottom out up against the fender. I need to get wheels on the front so its more stationary and don't try to move on me. I will try that again. once I get it on the front wheels.Thanks
I did more todaygot the main brake line in gas line fits like crap I am ready to order a fuel line from inlinetube. The one I got is from RS.
Got rear springs in and rear! Also painted the lower control arms!

I finally got the car out, so here is another F8 green Cuda!
Wow that's cool! And looks real clean!
I upgraded to 11'x 2 1/2' rear brakes. Backing plates off a 70 or 71 barracuda! All new hardware and wheel cylinders and powder coated backing plates! Wooo Ahhh
Ive been still going on the car, But have been slacken with updates! I restored the heater box since, new core and gaskets, glass beaded all the metal parts and repainted them all. I restored the 4spd clutch and brake pedal. Same thing glass bead painted the lower pedals then used the metal magic?? stuff that prevents the steel from rusrting and keeps the parts with the natural steel color! Also been doing the seats. I completely disassembled the seats and once again glass beaded the seat frames and springs!! New burlap and foam cushions! I also got the rear complete as well as the front end! So now I can roll the car .
Ill post pictures tomorrow of all the other things ive been doing the seats and all!Can't find the camera right now.

Tommy, on the hood. Do you have the 4 fender bumpers for the hood on it yet? If not, they will help with maintaining a proper hood gap.
Awesome work!
10-4 John. I was able to get a little more at of it. and I think Ill get some more? I been jumping around a lot so I think Ill get it? I forgot to mention I restored the steering column and ebrake lever ,sent the dash bezel out to be restored! Glass beaded the dash frame so that's ready to go when the bezel gets back! pic tomorrow!
yea I hear ya! That's all I need!
ok heres a few pictures of the driver seat. I took the tracks apart by drilling the backside of the large rivet . this way the track will slide out. I didn't want the glass bead getting stuck in thr tracks.
I also threw in a picture of the heater box I restored!
Next is a picture of the clutch pedal. Besides cleaning and re-spraying the pedals I replaced the two sets of needle bearings on the pedal shaft.
The picture of the seat track has the white circle around the rivet . That's the rivet I drilled out and re-welded back in when I was done with the track!
