    What's that orange thing hiding under the cover?  :wave:

    Duster?  With multi colored stripes.  Must have a big engine in it?

    That my 73 Duster I put together instead of the original plans for this Cuda. My intention was the Cuda to be a drag car but the wife won out on that one. I'm glad now she talked me into restoring it for her to drive.

    We have body color!!!! It's all wet sanded and ready for buffing. After buffing we'll put the black on the tail panel and she'll be ready for re-assembly. I want to Thank Tony and Joe at Mr Bricks Restoration for a great job on the paint. These guys take pride and specialize in the E-bodies. :cheers:

    Brought it home Monday. This is the first the wife has seen her car it since it left my shop for paint. You can tell by the smile on her face that she's very happy with the color I picked out. Assembly has started with the K member, A arms and rear end  installed. Long way to go but I promised her to have it road worthy by the time she retires in April of 2020.

    Slowly making progress since I got it home. Hopefully things will start to go a little faster getting the ole girl back together now. Still got 11 months till the wifey retires to complete.
