Nice!! That car will look awesome..nice job dude.. I have a 73 Cuda 340 thats been sitting in my garage for over a year now..this makes me want to start on it, but I promissed myself I wouldnt touch it till the AAR was finished..we'll see though! What color will the car be? Mine is Red, with a white vinyl top, white interior, and white stripes...are you keeping it the original color? (I haven't completly read this whole post yet)

Hey aar,nice cars! Not sure on color yet but i want it to STAND OUT.
I have a wicked purple,brighter then FC7 sititng in my closet....

I got the UCA's done. And a whole bin of parts ready to get blasted.
Boy do i have a TON of time and money into the front suspension/brakes.   
I hope it pays off later on...

What have you been painting the parts with?  I was thinking of spraying a por-15 style on myn stuff, after blasting.  Although maybe its not really needed.  Looks good

[74chall]

just epoxy the stuff then base clear it with dupont

[SilverChally]

[74chall]

[SilverChally]

When the parts start coming in you get to practice that grin you'll wear on the first drive  

[AARudy]

hey..save the old lines.....we are in the middle of  installing my new ones, and they do NOT bend them perfectly like they state in their adds......you will want to check the old ones for reference!! mostly the ones that run the whole length of the car, not the little ones..

[74chall]

The only problem with the lines i ever had was the fuel line. Some times that bugger you really had to bend to get it to work! Well got the dust shields,caliper brackets and spindles blasted,epoxied,based and cleared. Came out awesome. Going to pick up a bunch of parts i ordered at the parts store tommrow then start reassembling evrything onto the k frame. Going a different route now and looking for a 440 or 340. So please keep your eyes open for me in the northeast!

BTW dont make fun of my junkyard pen yellow "X " inspection mark. Galen came over and we made sure it was an exact duplicate.    YAH RIGHT!!!!!!!!! 

[SilverChally]

I have some 440s here, but can;t part with them, but good call forgetting the 318.  I dont have anything to do tomorrow, so I'll get that fender inside and see what I can find out.
