'Cuda Arrived Today
« on: June 14, 2006 - 08:31:41 PM »
Got the 'Cuda today and it's awesome! It seems smaller, I know the Challenger is 2" longer in the wheel base but overall it seems like a much smaller car. Anyhow, it is a lot better than I expected which is great.

Needs some minor work. My main concern is the electric fan set up. It does heat up a little and and will be installing a viscous fan kit along with a front mounted electric fan set up that is on switch. So, if it does get hot in traffic I can flick the switch (AC/DC flick of the switch) lol. Also, the idle isn't that good, it stalled on me when I took it to get some gas for the first time.  :-[ The double pumper Demon had a bit to do. Needs slight tune, increase the idle, some paint touch ups, mats, pistol grip installed, pedal bezels, new door panels (supplied be previous owner), hood pins installed....and a few other bits & pieces so overall very minor and mostly cosmetic stuff.


Anyhow, not the greatest photos and not many of them but a step up from the sellers 4 photos.
I tried to get it in some different lights to show the shades of green.


Cheers,
(VERY happy NZ)  :bananasmi :ylsuper: :swaying:

It's winter by 15 days. Average, a bit chilly at night, no snow where I live so 365 driving days available.
Today the temp is about 65-70F.  :cheers:

Thanks lads.  :swaying:

4C - Yip, absolutely!!  :grinyes:
I think it makes the car, plus this is my first Mopar with decals. (Lucy has none).  :bananasmi

Not sure on the wing yet, that rear end photo looks pretty mint as is.  :-\

Cheers!!  :wave:

Just my  :2cents: but I would make it turn white or change the interior to black.  I have always believed that the stripes should match the interior when it comes to black and white.  Although my exception to the rule is on the AAR since there was so much black already.   I already stated what I thought about the wing . .  :screwy:   Sweet car!   :drool:

I see your point, haven't really noticed it, so it can't be "too" bad.
Can anyone photo shop me or find a photo with a 73, a hockey in white on Limelight? Hold the fries.  :lol:

Wonder how it would look.  :clueless:
I'm happy as for now and actually like the stripe as-is but am registering your thought 4C.  :cheers:

Mind you, the dash, carpet and console are black, that count?  :icon16: :thumbsup:

Yip, the first one will be entered, am I allowed to enter two for voting?  :dunno:

I see you made them a smaller kb, you lose quality that's why I kept them higher.  :swaying:


Sorry about that.  :cheers:
