After almost two years, the Cuda hits the road!
« on: July 02, 2006 - 09:41:20 AM »
Yup, hard to believe I know. And this time there were no cooling fan jumper wires, missing windshield or plastic gas can fuel tank. The only thing missing was the hood! I still need to put on my flashy valve covers, air cleaner and purple wires.  Yes, theres a clear distributor cap hiding beneath that chrome sombrero. We drove it to the gas station to fill her up and got all sorts of gawkers.

Kind of makes it all worth it   :bigsmile:
