Package deal 73 Cuda

WOW! Look at that stand!!! Thats a piece of art right there? You guys custom make it?

We made it our selves, we need to modify it some. It needs to be higher so the engine crane will slide under it and the trans mount is going to be changed so it can be adjusted for pitch. It works well now but these changes will make it easier to work with.

Well I changed my mind(or was that lost) and decided to install the engine assembly today. Just couldn't stand looking at that empty hole any more.
The dash is disassembled and ready for repaint, the steering column is done and ready to go in.
The car is in need of a good clean-up , I notice more dust in my pictures than when working on it so please bear with me on the crud.
I'll hook up the suspension tomorrow and it should be on it's wheels by the end of the day.
See ya

Thanks for the kind words. It is not Mopar Nats  quality but should be fun to drive.
Posting and watching everyone else's cars has really motivated me to get this one done. I hope to meet many of you at this years shows.
Here are a couple of pictures, Front and rear valences and suspension are almost done. Still waiting on some parts . I started removing some of the  temporary attachment bolts to replace with re-plated bolts that just arrived.

Yeah, and you have to remember that he's been doing this in his spare time. He still has a full time job running a first-class restoration shop.

Great looking car! I wish I had your kind of talent.  Keep up the great work. Threads like this have me itching to tear into my 71 Challenger!

Looks great, just like the rusty one I cut up would have looked like   That things almost too nice to drive!!!  Where do you get that speedliner at, is it tintable to any shade?

You can check  for Speed-liner dealers in your area on the web. Any PPG piant can be added to it for color match so it is very color friendly.
