71 Cuda Update...
« on: July 10, 2006 - 09:58:20 PM »
I thought you all might be interested in the progress of my 71 Cuda.  Now that I am back from Carlisle my motivation level is at an all time high after seeing all those beautiful Mopars.  She is heading off tomorrow to have her drivetrain and motor reinstalled.  I may even be able to drive it home by this weekend.... :droolingbounce:

Then it is back to the body shop for panel fit and final paint....stayed tuned, more pics to follow soon.

Thanks gang,

I can't wait to hear this baby run. I started this on Aug 15 of last year.  If I can have it completed by the Aug 15th of this year I will be total thrilled. I still haven't even driven it yet...just pushed it in and out of the garage since I got it.
