Work has begun, albiet slow....

The 70 Cuda 340 4 speed Convertible is being worked on side by side with the 70 Barracuda.

Floors have been removed and replaced already. Radiator support has been welded in place and the next step is to have the car placed on a frame rack and pulled....Here are some pics prior to work being done.

Wow,
That is an amazing undertaking. I wish I had the skill (and garage) to take on such a task. Good luck. It thrills me to see folks with the love of these old cars to tackle such a project.  :2thumbs: I'll be watching with baited breath!!  :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn:
