Well I'll be dammed :shock: 18"'s is a lot of slack to be slapping around on your paint at freeway speeds as you can see on the 2nd picture. I defintely wouldn't be comfortable "testing" that out. The third picture shows less slack and doesnt appear to be touching the paint except maybe the very lea...

As for the lanyards, the 3579673 26" part number above, the 72' parts books has it as an e-body part and an 18" lanyard listed for the b-bodies. The 26" being for an E-body makes sense but I dont know how the 71/72 could use an 18" lanyard. If you route it directly from the screw around the front o...

ahh your right, thats why I dont recognize the cowl support, I thought it was a 71/72 with the bumper off.

Looking at that picture of the blue car just above, I see its got an upright pin clip whereas the NOS pins and 26" lanyards are flat. I wonder if there were two styles of clips for E and B body cars? Also, if 18" lanyards are correct for B bodys, the only way they could possibly fit is between the h...

Thanks for the picture.

Look at the rad support to fender piece on my car. It seems they changed the part or started stamping holes, and there's no indent on that raised ridge. Mines the same as Bruce's '72, yet its a '71

I put this info here to help people research in future. The restoration shop that did my car sent me a gift in the mail: - NOS lanyards and clips, part 3579673 They are 26" long center eyelet to eyelet Dales Cuda Shop sent me 23" lines (even though I asked for 25's) because "thats what all the B Bod...

Can you tell me what your cables are coated with? It doesn't look like Dales sells rubber bumper lanyards as 25" is the maximum length and that is tight - not that I need them. Mine are coated in a white'ish flexable hard plastic which my restorer said is incorrect. I figured the plastic would be to...

I bought, from the Chrysler dealership, Authentic Mopar Classic Restoration hood pin and cable kit for my car as it was missing the cables and pin clips. What a complete piece of crap. The circular chrome hood piece is slightly thicker than a piece of tinfoil compared with my stock 1/4" thick hunk o...

Those look like GTX moldings to me. Cuda moldings are gill shaped like in these pictures

i dont know how long or tall they are supposed to be though.

exceptional! some serious love and money went into that car. All it's missing is the plastic on the seats

Is it rude of me to ask what business Gary is in in order to fund these amazing cars? They must have a million invested in their hobby. I'm nosey I admit it, but there's gotta be a story here :0)

I met with a client of ours with a V12 1937 Packard which he has over $250k into.

Its neat to hear first hand experiences of people when these cars were new and/or being built

The wing that came on my car had a small dent in the middle. When I tapped on the wing it sounded like extremely hard plastic or fiberglass as it had a bit of a ring to it. I was sure it was a repop but couldn't figure out what material it was made out of that could dent. So I ordered a new wing ass...

lol ahhh HAAA! I thought I was going crazy.

TYVM! I just bought a set from Recharged thanks to you /salute

Have you ever seen an Air Grabber door open with the engine off?
