'70 'Cuda in Houston
« on: August 19, 2015 - 05:19:44 PM »
Hey guys, just wanted to say hello.  I've been a spectator for quite some time but now I'm ready to dive in here.  I've had my 'Cuda for about 17 years now, she's my baby and I will never part with it. 

The ol' girl has been sitting for quite some time and I'm just starting the process of bringing her back to life.  Unfortunately my pockets aren't too deep so its going to be a slow process.

Thanks in advance for all the help you guys are going to give me!

I'm on the southeast side of Houston.  The picture was taken at Kansas Speedway.  I used to live outside Kansas City.

I'm in the process of tearing down and assessing now.  Haven't quite decided what my path forward is.

Thats exactly what it started as.  Now its working its way to a 440 'Cuda clone.  I gotta ask, how'd you spot it as a 383 Gran Coupe?
