    Got the 70 Back This Week
    « on: October 30, 2005 - 11:38:46 PM »
    I think I just hit the wall - a whole lot of work ahead of me, its a little discouraging.  Kind of regretting getting rid of my Mustang.  Was nice to have a driveable 12 second car with AC that needed no work!  Oh well, I'll keep plugging along.  Got to start by finding a good roof skin and then do the trunk floor.

    It`ll be worth it when it`s done.I had a `83 Mustang GT brand new and it was a fun car but there`s a zillion of them out there which makes the `cuda way cooler!

    2000GT, you may miss the running car now, but once you get that 'Cuda all put back together and start pounding the streets with it you'll realize it was definitely worth the wait.

    Don't worry, it will be soooo worth it when you are finished.  The time will come before you know it.

    Don't get down.  It will make you so happy when you drive it down the road and every head gets whiplash as you are driving by.

    Believe me I know exactly what you are feeling been there several times myself.  Just wish mine was in the progress yours is right now.

    Believe me it will be worth all of your pain to be able to drive it down the road and turn heads.

    I know how you feel. I sold my stang that I had dumped a ton of money into and my race quad to get my Barracuda. I love the car, I have totaly stripped it and it feels like I am getting nowhere with it. But I know someday it will be worth it.
    I keep staring at the pictures of other's Cudas and get encouraged.
