You would think so based on the great job he did.  He has a '71 Roadrunner with a 440 6-Pak (not original) and has some experience with them (more than I do).  So he offered to rebuild mine this year.  He got carried away with the detail and now I gotta keep them in a box to protect them.

Welcome to the site and the fender tag reads out to be a nice looking AAR Cuda.

After 5 years your AAR looks further along than my T/A project which is coming up on 10 years so far with no end in sight.  :clueless:  My SPD is 4/15, the day before yours, and our VIN's are only a couple 100 #'s apart!
My convertible is FK5 so I have a fondness for that color!  :clapping:

Must be an E-body haven.  Wonder how many others cars are tucked away waiting to be discovered around here?

Thanks.  Almost deviated from the original in favor of a high-impact, but in the end decided to stick with the original FK5.

I might be wrong but I think that Fk5 is considered a high impact color. 
It is definitely one of the better colors out there.
I would even go a little further and make the interior all burnt orange.
My two cents any way. 
 Awesome color choice!!

  Yes, I agree an FK5 car with burnt orange interior makes for a striking car. :2thumbs:



I like being the only one in that combo at most every show and cruise I attend!
I only see one FK5/FK5 AAR here on Kissalien's website:
