my 72 cuda I need to finish for late spring
« on: January 13, 2008 - 11:28:20 PM »
I have owned this car since 1978 or so. I forget, but I would like to finish it this spring to have some fun at events with some of our members. I need to have 2 quarters stretched and re attach the body, mount the parachute, finish installing the electronics, and buy a new set of tires. I really could use some local help when I bring it home.  When finished, I'm expecting to run high 7's @ 168 or so.  It weighs under 2500 with me in it.  I will need to re do my NHRA license since it has expired, hope to pass my physical. This should be fun

I hope to head up your way sometime so I could bring my stepson and son to see you also.  That looks really cool and would love to see it and you and help with it if I am around.  Keep us posted on your project.   Gordon
