AAR Cuda PROGRESS pics.. (PAGE 11)
« on: May 15, 2006 - 06:00:10 PM »
Here's the most recent shots of my car.
You can see the NOS trunk floor, new trunk extensions, and new outer wheel wells that were welded in....
All of the work is finished on the undercarriage, it is in primer. And next we will use the grey sealer-primer on it.  I should have updated pictures soon, with some paint on the car!
Stay tuned!!!!.....

there's a before-primer shot there too....

yes, it is an NOS pan...I will look for the numbers.....there is or was one on ebay EXACTLY like it..the sell was GNOS...he also sold me my quarters.....
if you look up that auction, you'll see the numbers too...going rate on a pan like that is $2500-$3000...!

Yes, John Marshall....he was the 3rd owner of the car back in the eighties...he still has one of the build sheets for my car...I do have one of the two in my hands....he sent me a color copy of the one he is keeping... :dunno:


I've been sending him pics of the resto, is he still working on the red AAR?

yes the red aar needed some serious work but is comming out fantastic.the guy that owns that aar (eric) had a parts car that will be donating some parts to fix some real bad spots on my 70 challenger.I am also hoping to go for a ride in john's white superbird this summer.

The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realize it doesn't say anything it's to late to stop reading it.
