It's looking great Glenn. Can't wait to hear it fire up.   :burnout:

On another note:

Have you ever noticed the little square next to your name looks like a coffee cup?

How come you get to have a cup of coffee and the rest of us don't?   :smilielol:

LOL, yeah, I'm drinking coffee, yours looks like green tea! Your cuda is looking awesome! When do you think you'll have her on the first test drive? I spent some time yesterday fitting the hood and hood pins. Still have a lot to do but moving along nicely. The exterior should be done in a few days. Need to install the dash, windshield, wiring harneses, steering column, carpet and floor shifter.

Green Tea.  :lol:

I'm shooting for 2 weeks from now for the first drive.
Tomorrow is adjustments. Re evaluate things and some details.
Sunday is fire up.

This is cool and quite rare, the original plate that came on the car when it was purchased new from the dealer. Took a couple of hours to get it cleaned up from all the gas stains on it.

Thursday took the car outside and ran it for a few minutes, the color really pops in the sunlight. Then yesterday took it for a spin. Runs good! Couldn't get too crazy though, need to get it on some remote place to get on it good.
Got the floor shifter, manual steering and steering column installed. Next week should have the hood, dash, interior and windshield and rest of the limo tint installed, very close to road ready.

Thanks Mike, did you get the idle issue figured out?
