fishn4cuda........Nice pics of the cuda.  Have you started the chally?  I'm very intested in the chally.  I just started a 70 droptop r/t.  I feel overwhelmed so far.  So far I have taken out the seats and carpeting.   Found surface rust and one small hole due to rust and a jack stand place in the wrong place.  The engine is out.  The rebuild will be a stroked 383.  Could use some advise.  Also I don't have a big budget.  Thanks for the encouragement.

I do have one question. how do you test a droptop if all the electrical has been removed.  :clueless:

Looks AWESOME!  Keep up the good work!  My only comment is that Curious Yellow is a 71 only color and some people don't like it at all.  May have been better off from a ROI either buying some Lemon Twist or going with the FE5.
