its that crap fit on them, they don't even meet up with the center filler, so it was paint 98% of the car and sort them later, at least mine match the body now after $400 worth of work at a fiberglass shop!

Color combination with the vinyl rood is great. Love the wheels, too. They look perfect on a Cordoba.

I am going to have one of the nicest looking dobas around, great color, great wheels, the paint and body work all curtios of my friend, taken a year to get to this point! But has only cost paint and sand paper. Great to have really good friends who share the passion.

The darker colors make the bright work stand out more. I like my car to be how I like it, stock standard unmodified cars just don't do it for me, although I am not into radical changes. I think it looks very smart!

Look on the inside too, you will see the top door molding is not cracked!! Its brand new as well made from zintec. So all these parts that you guys have told me are unavailable I now have replaced. With the new rubbers and window pushers the door glass closes in nice and tight rather than a loose rattle fit. I drove my car yesterday and you guys would not believe how nice it drives now, got a modern ride to it, a modern steering, at 30mph (town driving) its just drives dead straight I don't have to correct it or anything, it doesn't wander, its quite amazing my friends who get in can't believe its 30+ years old!

thats pretty much what I think when I get up each morning and look in the mirror ... way over 30 years and I'm still perambulating every day ... what friends are still coherent can't believe it either.

Well I am like a kid in a candy store! I can see my project is nearing completion! I would not call it a full on nut and bolt restoration but more like a complete modernization. Anyway this is the view of my car sitting at my PC when the side door is open, looks so good! Got no idea why muscle car guys shun these! They got everyting going for them, small, compact, light can take a 408 stroker and any other running gear!

Wrenching on mopars and seeing your thoughts and ideas of what you personally think will look good all coming together and then other people also find your ideas, thoughts on colors and wheels etc all finished must mean I have done something right Thanks for the great feedback!

What I have tried to do is build the Cordoba the way it should of always been out of the factory, 360, 8.25" rear on 3.21, bigger wheels, sway bars, etc etc but what we got was choked up 318s on weak 7.25" rear end sitting on small wheels with no stability in the corners. WOW has my car changed, it drives, rides, performs way better than stock!

All the types of the cars on this board (Fs, Js, and Ms) have nothing fundamentally wrong with them. The only real issues are due to Ma Mopar cutting corners to save money. If there was one architectural issue, it would be the transverse torsion bar suspension geometry. This is really only an issue for all out corner carvers and road race typw cars. For anything short of that, there is not much of any design shortcomings that was designed in.
