So-Cal Cuda
« on: November 11, 2015 - 12:08:12 AM »
Hi,
It's been 3 years since I 1st brought her home.
When I got her she was in pieces and barely a roller.
I avg apx 30 hours a week working on her,  plus my normal 40 hour job. :o
If it wasent for this awesome forum I would still be working on her.
I have apx 1500 miles on her now and its been a total gas driving her  :burnout:
If interested keep an eye out for my build thread  :icon16:
Enjoy

Sent you a PM.  What are the details on your wheels and tires?  Any suspension mods?

Very sharp. Also interested in hearing about your wheels and tires.

Thanks but I did not receive your message.  Be sure to check the box at the bottom left to save a copy before you click send, sometimes the message does not get sent.  Either way, I am hoping you can just post everything here for the benefit of all!   :drunk:
