    Arrington Cuda
    « on: January 16, 2009 - 11:10:44 PM »
    Is this old news? This is the first I have seen of this car. Arrington Engines built this car and it is simply amazing. It replaces the Sick Fish on my list of All Time Greatest Restomod Cudas.

    That's a very nice car, but the video...  :faint:  I like Lynyrd Skynyrd as much as the next person, but I want to hear the engine!

    They're in Martinsville, VA.  http://www.arringtonengines.com  They also build NASCAR engines.

    There's a nice write-up of their new next-gen Hemi-based 440 in the latest issue of Mopar Muscle

    Yep that is what I thought.   I met all of the guys there and just about got a job there.  They are in Bassett VA actually and it is a real cool shop with all they have there.  They are mopar guys for sure and several of them have real nice cars!!!!!

    :iagree:  Really wanted to hear the engine  :swear:  Not sure if it is on the sam elevel as Sick Fish though.  Troy T really put a TON of mods into that car to make it more of a work of art than a car.  This one looks more like a very nicely done resto-mod while Sick Fish is more of a truly one of a kind Street Rod.

    Yep. I do like this car more though. I guess you could say I like Resto Mods better than Kustoms then, LOL.

    As far as on a different level.... I have the DVD and Build Book for Sick Fish and know exactly how it is built but this car looks better IMO. Plus it has an Arrington engine. I would like to get my hands on some of thier P-series stuff.
