New member from Oklahoma
« on: May 04, 2006 - 01:18:01 AM »
Since I've been soaking up all this info on cudas from this site for a few months now, thought I should say hello, got my first cuda yesterday at 28 yrs old 8). Needs lots of work of course, but a very solid car to start with. Its a 73 BH car with a 318 auto console atm.  Thanks to everyone on C-C.com for helping me find a fish I don't have to throw back.  I will post some pics as soon as I have a chance :useless:

Yep...still grinning ear to ear.  The first night it was in the garage I couldn't sleep at all, just thinking about the car.  It will take a while, but the car will end up as a stroked 340 car, the rest is still kind of up in the air.  My wife wants me to paint it Sassy grass, but it will be black for sure. She also wants it to look like F N cudas car, which would be nice, but i think im going to keep it somewhat of a daily drive with muscle.  Man his car looks mean.  Still have ALOT of learning to do before I get too far into the project.  The only thing that hasn't sat well with me so far, is that she said my Cuda looks like the 73 camaro I had a few years back!!!!!  lol    Thanks for the warm welcome

Not sure where she is getting that from . . . not even close in my opinion.  Cuda's looks so much better!  :drool:
