Pro touring resto-mod Cuda build

[kjwalters]

I love the lights. Are they modified semi bulbs?   

Thanks, and they are. It was a little bit of a search to find what I wanted and the right size I could work with, but it can be done without to much trouble and well worth the investment in time and cash.

More progress, The last couple days I have been working on installing the Sound/Heat shield, while waiting for my new front suspension to show up. This is the good stuff, Butyl  Rubber, not the oil/tar based stuff, cost more, but worth every penny. I have done all my builds using this stuff.  As  you can see the cabin is done, as is the inside of the doors, just have to finish up the trunk and I am done.
Sad part is that only me and these pics will ever see it, or know how much work it took to install it properly; I guess that's true of pretty much everything you do on a hot rod or custom car.
More to come soon.

Finished installed the rear viking coil overs today, and securing the new brake line. last night I finished installed the sound/heat shield in the trunk last night. Coming alone slowly but sure.

I also changed my mind on the drive train. Originally I was going to run a 6.4 and be done with it. But After talking with Modern Muscle I decided to go with a forged 6.1 and run some PSI. Not looking to make huge power, 600 to the wheels is my goal, which I am told is an easy order. I will still run the Coklin 727 and gear vendor for a trans.

Following with interest, also got a 6.1, gonna run it stock first then maybe an upgrade. Nice job on the soundproofing!

Will the stock gas tank still fit?

Thanks! I glad it's over with LOL.

Unfortunately no. But I was going to run a cell anyway. I may still make make my own fuel tank to mount under there, a little shorter and wider than stock, but flat bottom cell in the trunk is an easy solution and I run the lines through the original fuel neck inlet in the floor.

Looks great!!!  And I love the color you went with on the paint!!!  Can't wait to see it done!!


Is this the Noico 80mil stuff?  I am at a point in my build where it is the PERFECT time to put this in

Thanks!...I went with the 50mil Noico, It is great stuff, way better than the 80mm rattle trap I use to use. It's easy to use and no smell at all. Cant beat the price either.

Thanks... I'm glad there is a noise and sound deadening combo that isn't dynamat expensive.

Thank you!! Ordered!!

Sorry for the late response on that question, Yes Ebay has it, but so does Amazon and it's cheaper if you have Prime. Shipping was free and it got here in 2 days.

I am putting in the Control freak suspension this weekend, I will have pictures soon, but I can tell you so far it's pretty amazing. The quality is awesome and the fitment is spot on.  Flaming river set me the a non power steering rack, so Al at control freaks, told me to box it up and he would send someone to get it, and have flaming river drop ship me the correct power steering one. Just like that Great service. Super pumped about this.  Pics to follow.
