    My, avitar is a pic of a Minilite Wheel.  i have a set of 4 15x8's to put on my Gran Coupe.  i have added sub-frame connectors in anticipation of beefing up the front & rear suspension, but i haven't gotten that far yet.  the car is still at the paint shop, so i gotta budget for that first.  so talk to me about your suspension upgrades.  i could use some good advice & suggestions! :drool:

    It's your car.  Do what you want with it.  If you want a shaker hood....do it.  If you want an R/T....do it.  Just don't try to pass it off as authentic if you sell it.

    I Actually prefer Clones to the real thing...When looking at a clone, I know it CAN be driven...When looking at the real thing most times, it means it has about 5 miles on it from being backed on and off the trailer....

    No problems with clones, I can't go to chrysler and order a 1970 cuda off of the production line today and go throught the book options and as many of these cars that are soon to be one with the earth, (like the multitudes you see on Cars in barns) are being destroyed I think you should make what you want and enjoy it, don't sell it off trying to fake someone into thinking it is all origional.
    Mine will stay GranCoupe interior / exterior but is all cuda in drivetrain most of the parts are era correct or off of other cudas or challengers, some are year one repops, none makes it any less of a mopar. Wouldn't it be great if you could go to Chrysler and order a 1970 Gran Coupe with the 440 or E'MI Option.

    Can't say I'm a fan.

    I like Brads idea above. It has the T/A look, but doesn't actually say T/A anywhere on it. Same as the guy from Finland(?) doing the PPR 'Cuda. They're both awesome.

    But putting T/A, AAR or R/T etc on something that isn't such is kinda gay.

    Isn't that why ricers cop so much ****? Because they put Mugen & TRD stickers all over their base model Honda's & Toyota's etc? Pretending their cars are more than what they are? Isn't that the basis for what a Ricer originally was?

    Gay?

    GAY?

    Wow, we have gay MOPARS...GAPARS!

    If you have T/A on a /6 I think you are pushing it... but to go so far as gay, man that could include rims over 15" or a guy painting his car purple, pink, or...light blue.

    I like cars like brads 70 challenger with the t/a hood and imin2cars 73 Cuda that almost looks like an aar. If I actually owned a #matching hemi Cuda, challenger,aar or T/A it would most likely be a trailer queen! I am going to pretty much do the same thing to my 2 plymouths and build them the way I want them which is close to what brad and imn2cars did. Almost stock but with a little modern twist!

    and dont forget gay limelight!

    Nothing wrong with aar or 6-pak or any symbols or stripes you want, it's your car, but definitely represent the car you're cloning by at least equiping it the same way as the original, or as close as you can reasonably get it. Otherwise it is not only not real, its a pretender too. :bigsmile:

    With an estimated survival rate of about 5% for 1970 E-Bodies (I read that stat somewhere), It's just good to see anything that old still on the road whether it's a clone or real.

    How many P-51 Mustangs, B17's, Spitfires, Lancasters, Sherman or Tiger Tanks are "All Matching Numbers" ! Probably none.

    It's all about enjoying it and what you do to it.
