I'd like to see that car on a set of scales when it's done. Looks really heavy, especially the front end. Lots on nice work but not my cup of tea. The design looks dated already? One less Cuda in the world..... :2cents:

Poor car.

A fine example of "just because you can, doesn't mean you should".

I like it.
With a few exceptions

It's gotta weigh as much as a tank
I don't like the front corners of the front valance. Just too square. Really takes away from the body lines of the cuda.
I don't think the side modification which is similar to a viper or corvette complements the cuda body line either.  Really squares out the body line.
Surprisingly, the halo's really look kind of bug eyed on the car. 

I really love the gun stash spots.  I'm totally down with that.  Gives me ideas.
I like how they came up with the headers.  That's a slick trick.

I actually like the modification to the roof line.  Making a groove in the middle which is complemented by the split duck tail spoiler and the hood scoop. 

The hood modification is a little square again for my tastes.

overall, really cool custom ! And I'm sure an outrageously expensive car.

 :-[ :pullinghair:  I didn't realize there was more pictures. I never made it past the first page until I read what Josh posted about the headlights....
That thing has to easily weight over 4000lbs easy!  The hood reminds me of an olds cutlass , and that dash/interior!  :puke:

I have to agree 1000% with Goody and Alan!  :grinyes:

The craftsmanship is fantastic..... it's the design that makes me wince.....

Interesting, another Cuda basically the same as the next 7/10 people who build the things. Really they were amazing from the factory should just let them be. Exceptions of course is getting a basket case missing so many parts it would cost too much or be impossible to find parts to get back on the road.

I dig the engine bay, interior is kinda kook but not for me.  Absolutely hate the front of the car.  The hood and valence are awful.  Shame to see someone spend so much time and money, and put so much hard work into something that misses the mark.  Didn't care for the original rendering, but it looked better than the finished product.

 Just too much. The more I see these over done cudas and challengers the more I appreciate the original designs. It's just a little too over the line for my taste

Poor car.

Exactly.  Same opinion on most of the Ring Bros creations for me

Maybe they can sell to Hollywood and use it in the next Batman movie.

I agree takes away from the killer lines of the Cuda
