    new here, working on a 73 cuda weekend warrior.
    « on: September 11, 2011 - 04:00:17 PM »
    Hey guys im new here hopefully be seeing my name around alot. but anyways my dad bought this cuda back a while ago for 300 bucks! :woohoo: (pictures are at the bottom) but its just been setting there i went outside in the garage and took the cover over hoping he will let me actually work on it myself. maybe even let me drive it to school because i honestly dont care what it looks like because its a MOPAR! but hopefully i can make them hardass faggots at school in there rustangs and camaros get whooped on.  they will probably be like  :roflsmiley: when they first see it but when i start it up they will be like :eek7:. but i plan on updating alot i might even drop a 340 in there because we have a couple laying around. i will tell you the mods we will be doing once i look around and see if maybe we have some headers or something laying around :naughty:. tell me what you think!

    Welcome to CC.com. It just warms my heart to see a teenager interested in old school muscle cars. Nothing wrong with some of the newer euro cars. So it looks like a pretty solid project car. Does it currently run?? Feel free to ask questions here. Lots of knowledge & experience. You ought to start a thread on the car in the "Members Restoration Projects" section. We'd love to see more pictures of the car. Keep us posted on the car. We have some other "young guns" here that have done some amazing projects. Maybe showing your dad this web site and some of the member's projects will help get him interested in getting your project going!! Good luck!!  :bigsmile:

    Totally forgot all about this post. 4 years later and she's finally running....to many projects.... Anyways the setup is a 340 .30 over .474 mp cam, 3200 stall, kb Pistons, ld340, temporary edelbrock 600 carb, 3.23 gears. Setup runs good definitely more in it with a bigger carb, just glad to have it running.
