Soda blaster works great. Like new appearance.

It basically vaporizes! Think of a self-cleaning oven.

With heat! Seriously if you put that Kframe in at whatever temperature they use, it bakes off all oil/grease, paint, etc., without any warping or change to the metal. Looks brand spanking new when done.

When I recently refinished my K Frame, I took it to a local NAPA store that had a large oven to really clean the part. I'd heard that it's nearly impossible to remove all grease/oil doing it by hand. Total cost was $25 to bake the K Frame, and it came out perfectly clean, bare metal.

They are still available from Cragar. New, of course.

Bryan, I sent you a PM.

My original part broke one of the small hold down tabs off recently. I'm looking for a bezel that is in good shape, before I try to repair the one I have. Thanks!

I do know that. I bought an IVR to replace that component while I’m at it. So I disconnected the temp sender and grounded it. Temp gauge didn’t move, so I suspect the gauge is bad. Curiously when I grounded the temp wire, the oil gauge pegged full. I imagine that’s because both of these gauges...

Yeah, if I can recall now...this was last year, and I’m almost 66, so here goes; I think the fuel was reading too high while out for a drive, and then I noticed the temp gauge pegged to the right. Pulled into a friends driveway and then discovered the melted wires. Peeled them apart, taped them...

Last summer when I first drove my Cuda after a pretty extensive restoration, one day my gauges seemed to be acting funny. I discovered that the temp sender wire and the alternator wire got too hot and melted their insulation together right where they lay on top of the passengers side valve...

Here’s the one in my 69 Cuda.

How does one send a PM?

I was often wondering the rarity of a bumper jack cover. I have one in my '69, that has always been there.

You bet, we went in 1980 with a brand new paint job. At that meet I learned about the rarity of this car. Drove the brickyard, etc. That Indy meet was awesome!!

Jim, I seem to recall seeing a pic of another red 69 fastback with a white top, but it’s the only one I’ve seen. It wasn't the 'Cuda package though. The actual color of my top is Pearl White, it's not pure white. There are tiny flecks of gold in the material. I lucked out because Legendary had...

It should be cleared out now.

Can't seem to find a way to PM anybody. I had to reset my password for this site. Try to send me another PM.

Thanks for all the replies. I think I’ll probably stick with 255/60/15 on the car.

New wheels have a 4-1/4” backspace. Stock SBP on an 8-3/4 axle.

I’ve got 15 x 7 cragars with 245/60/15 tires currently on the rear of a 69 Cuda. I’m wondering if a 15 x 8 with 275/60/15 tire will fit without spacers? Stock leaf springs.

I second the choice to recore at Glen Ray Radiator. Bob is a Mopar expert. They look better than new when done.

The actual procedures for installing these is in the FSM. Although I still called the pros to install those two pieces of glass, even when I did virtually 100% of my restoration. Looking back at it, I probably could have done that as well, but I'm glad that the pros installed them with no...

When checking continuity between the knurled nut where the wire connects and the mounting stud in the indicator casting...there is NONE. So I made a small ground wire to connect these two features, and using a star washer when mounting the whole works to the hood, everything works fine now. So I...

I tried that at first, but the weird thing about these indicators is that there are two projections through two holes in the hood. One for the mounting stud and one for the knurled connection for the signal wire. But the mounting stud is not electrically connected to the knurled barrel where the...

I'm putting my hood mounted turn indicators on my '69 Cuda and notice that they no longer get their ground connection through the sheet metal like they did before I restored the car. These indicators just have a single signal wire that runs through the hood channels back to the firewall near the...

Are your 8" rear rims the standard (no offset) 4.00" backspace? Thanks for the help.

Ron, Nice ride!! I was curious if you've moved your leaf springs in, or if not, do you have decent clearance with the 275/60/15's?

There are (8) of these special screws per side on the Slickback trim. I'm not sure of the thread size, but there are 32 threads/inch, probably a #6-32, although this is going into the sheet metal on the roof, and could be about anything.

I'm about to reinstall my Slickback moldings. I'd be glad to take pics and measurements of the little lathe turned parts that hold the moldings in place, if you'd like. They are simple parts that could be made by anyone with a lathe.

I've been restoring my '69 M code Cuda and was just wondering about something on the car. It has 'functional' hood scoops! The small 'Cuda hood scoops on this car are open in the front, rather than closed off, and there are rectangular holes cut in the hood accordingly. Inside the hood...
