Hello,

I joined here a while back but am going to become more regular now that I am restoring a '73 cuda.

I just got done restoring a 66 Coronet and was the centerfold in the Nov-Dec issue of Mopar magazine. Pretty cool story, pick up the magazine if you have a chance. :)





I kept the Coronet bone stock except for the wheels. The car had the original motor, trans etc, and was my dad's car in highschool. Didnt want to mess with it too much.

Now I'm knee deep in the cuda. All of the body and machine work is done, just need to put everything back together.

The car was originally a brown a 340 4 speed but now a sassy grass green 440 six pack with a dana 60, with a few AAR styling cues. I will post a ton of pics on the progress.

Nice to meet everyone and thank you in advance for any questions I may ask.

Thank you very much.

The guys over on www.dodgecoronet.com saved me countless times on the Coronet rebuild. I'm sure it will be even better here considering the larger fan base :)

Got to love the internet...

Welcome!  I saw the acticle in Mopar Magazine.  You did a super job!
