    72 Cuda Project
    « on: January 04, 2019 - 09:56:34 PM »
    I purchased this 72 Cuda in 2011 with intentions of a another drag car. My wife had different ideas (she loves the Cuda's). I'm doing this resto for her to drive. I started the tear down 2 years ago after building my Duster for racing and have made some progress. I'd like to have it finished when she retires in early 2020.

    Looks great! Your wife has good taste. Gun metal grey has been one of my favorite colors for decades. I painted my wife's MBZ 220S gun metal grey after I dropped a SBC into it. She loved the color too.

    That's the way! Keep nibbling and it'll get done. What's that orange thing hiding under the cover?  :wave:
