    He asked if I would list it on ebag for him, but he wont tell me what he will take. Think he's fishing for offer from me but I have no means to restore that car.

    Sounds as bad as those Playstation 3 scalpers... if he was a real friend he would let you have dibs on the car. But then again, this is AMERICA!  :wavingflag:

     Thanks Kingtroll; I believe I have seen the shop when I got lost driving around looking for furniture stores; it was dark so I did'nt get a good look. I will stop by tomorrow and check it out. If you need any info. about the place let me know.

    When you get a chance check the place out and give me your honest opinion .  Thanks

     Kingtroll; I stopped by last night by the shopjust as they were closing shop but the owners son gave me a quick tour of the shop and showed me some cars they are working on; awesome work, they do everything from single component restoration to total restorations. His son took my info. and his dad should get in touch with me. His son told me that they do have a waiting list though. We will see how it goes. They only work on Mopars.

    Thanks Angelo,


     By the way any of you that watched Miami Ink last night they showed a shop in Miami that worked on Ami's Cuda. I called the shop and talked to the owner who seems really cool. I am going to go by there next week and get some estimates and check out the shop. Anyone that has gone there and reads this post let me know what you think of the shop and service. The shop's name is Miami Horsepower. It will be a lot easier for me to go there than sending my car down to San Antonio. I wish paintshop101 in Texas wasn't so far because it sounds great.

    so did I miss something or what?


    Engine / tranny info on this find?

    After all, that's what determines the cars status/value/rarity.

    That's good to hear he's willing to tackle it. :clapping: :woo:  Even a 340 car is worth some money fixed up, so hopefully he keeps at it until it's done. :2thumbs: :cheers: :grinyes:

                 Awesome!!!! It will be tricky to work on the A-Pillar replacement but it can be done with alot of measuring and remeasuring. And now alot more sheetmetal is coming out for the cuda so it should be alright. :bananasmi

    I just put a-pillars on my challenger... not much to it really.  Just tack em in, set in the windshield, see if the trim fits ok, and your done.  Not much moving around to do.
