My 71 Cuda Resto Progress
« on: January 21, 2006 - 06:48:00 PM »
Well my Cuda is finally in the hands of trained professionals and they are making good progress on the list of metal repairs. They have already replaced the trunk floor and this week they removed the rear quarter for replacement and also had a little fun with my old fender.   Guys...put the plasma cutter down and step away from my car...lol   I will keep you updated (with pictures) as the progress continues....I am shooting to have her done in time for Carlisle this July...wish me luck.  Ed

Choppin...maube we can cruise there together, and bring Steve too...The resto shop is called Jersey Muscle Cars in Forked River...so far I am majorly impressed with their work.  The guy that is working on mine is a Mopar maniac so I am in great hands..

I spent about 5 minutes look at the fender to figure out the problem.   :crying:  I didn't think there there was a problem.  :ylsuper:
