Mike,
Your Cuda looks awesome.  I remember that you had reservations as to what paint color to go with.  Well, you done good.  That ice blue looks great. 
The Cuda is sitting on roll-around wheels.  Did you move the car on a trailer like that? (Yes, I see the trailor)  I hope you didn’t have to travel too far like that.
Do you have a garage to put her into – protection from the elements?
Next Q – when will your schedule allow for putting her back together?
I know, too many Qs.  Bottom line – great looking Cuda  :cheers:

Thanks,
Travelled 70 miles like that. It has subframe connectors on it so it was safe. Went slow smooth roads.
No Garage, but plans to get an overhead tent shelter for it. Keep in mind, weather is very mild here.
Right now, I have some evenings and week-ends to put it back together.
It'll take a while.
Mike, Fremont, CA.

Mike, since yours turned out so beautiful and now that you have nothing to do....... would it be alright if I brought mine over, just so you'd have something to do and wouldn't get bored, you know?? Huh, huh? Ian  :smilielol:
