The Cuda is finally at the bodyshop so I thought I 'd post some pics... Just finished assembling the right grille. I am very happy with it. Was alot of work but worth it. BIG thanks to FABO and some Great members to help keep this project going. Now onto the headlight bezel...

Having fun yet ? LOL Looks good.
I wont recommend but will suggest coverting that amp gauge to a volt gauge and I'd be happy to help with the small wiring changes required.
After years of dealing with these things I've finally learned how to remove the instrument panel while sitting in the seats. No more laying upside down in the floor.
I've also leaned its best to solve all of it's pontential problems at once while it's out, and hope I never need to remove it again.
I dont feel the need to prove I'm smarter than the next guy so I wont write a book about the electrical system in every post. I want to help everyone reach the state of happy moparing if I can
A small tip...
Do not overtighten the screws that attach the bezel to the instrument housing. To do so will cause dimples and even worsae edge lines in the plastic that will become perminant and unrepairable.
 
Very nice work! That grille is remarkable! Gauges too!! Redfish has some good advice, if you havent already, pm him he has a fix for a very common problem
