    TOUCHDOWN!... the Cuda has landed and achieved "roller" status
    « on: November 08, 2008 - 09:35:48 PM »
    Brought the car home about a month ago as a shell on casters along with a whole bunch of parts. This was a take-over project. It came with most critical parts, but it was lacking brakes.

    So I ordered the Doctor Diff 13"/11" brake kit and got them installed on the loose K-member and rear axle. Last week I got the K-member under it. This past week I got to work on the rear suspension.

    The rear has been narrowed and springs moved inboard about 3". The rear hangers proved to be a bit of a challenge. I might re-engineer that before I'm through, but I went ahead and assembled it as-is to get it on the ground.

    Anyway, here it is. All four corners on the ground... or skates at least.

    I'll turn my attention to the interior next.
