    Hey Guys
    Thanks for the warm welcome
    So here goes to answer some questions

    So I am based in Johannesburg South Africa

    With regards to the plans for the Cuda
    Seeing as she has no motor or box and came with the 300c SRT8 rear end

    The plan is a bit of a restorod
    So engine I was thinking the 6.4 SRT8 Hemi
    Manual box cause I like shifting through the gear with a pistol grip shifter.
    Suspension upgraded K member front the challenge her is the current exchange rate so the cost may be alimiting factor to import so may have to look at a few option
    I have a plasma table so I could cut out my own setup
    also a cnc bender

    The rear I was think the setup I got with the car

    She needs alot of parts stil like the Shaker hood i have a stock hood
    And also a grill lower valance and tailpanel taillights etc

    So any input or guidance will be greatly appreciatted


    Till later

    Very cool! Was this a US export car of some sort, or did you buy it out of the US?

    So this car was sourced in South Africa its an old export car from the 80's
    Then was a a parts car and eventually rescued to bring her back to life
    Going to need to get alot of import parts and good prices

    With the current exchange rate I need to be very careful on what I buy
    I am basically paying 3time the USD price

    I would really like to get OEM used parts but i know thats like hens teeth too

    Hence me joining the forumn for advice and input and sources
