Hello All From NE GA
« on: March 29, 2013 - 02:20:53 PM »
Hello All,

I have had a love for the old classic hot rods since I was kid and used to get the little Hot Wheels to play with.  One of my all-time favorites was the AAR Cuda in lime green!
The time finally came where I wanted to build my own American muscle car and I started hunting on the internet.
I found several old Camaros and Chevelles that caught my eye, but I just loved the old Mopar cars so much I could never commit to getting one.
Finally, I stumbled on 1971 Cuda on eBay going fairly cheap.  The guy had bought a car that was nearly gone and was in the process of converting it to a 1970 when he decided to sell it.
I know he committed a huge crime by converting the car already, but since I loved the 1970 body style so much, I decided to get it.
Well, this has given me the oportunity to build a real unique car that looks exactly the way I want it to.
It has been quite a challenge... I found a TON of hidden rust holes that were filled in with silicone or mounds of bondo.  The frame rails were horribly patched and were so rusty that I could jab a screw driver through with ease.  BUT, after alot of time, blood, sweat, and money (it is a Mopar after all)... this is what I got so far:

I am hoping I can pick everyone's brain in the final assembly stages to get her running like she should.

Oh yeah, I was supposed to mention that "Redline" sent me. 
It doesn't look like he has been active on here in a while though...

I've had the car about four years.  It's a slow moving project, but it's coming together quite nicely.
