    New 70 cuda project building my dream muscle car.
    « on: April 22, 2015 - 09:08:04 PM »
    Hi, I purchased my dream muscle car a few months ago and have big plans but will get there in baby steps, it is a Gran coupe, but now building a 440. It has a 727 but want to go 4 speed one day, shaker etc... So if anyone has any advise etc regarding going down this path please message me. Even if its parts etc.... Thanks

    Well...You could sell the 1971 lower front valance and park lamps to generate some money for the project. They're worth much more then the correct 70 pieces :2cents:

    Thanks, I did consider that! But I am in Australia and the market
    Is limited for Cuda parts. But I can not wait to put the corect lower valance on, I have some driving lamps I just need some brackets or make my own.
    Thanks for the feed back guys.
