I'm back! I think it was getting beyond crickets and moving to spiderwebs and dust. any longer and the zombies wil rise!  :22yikes:

Well lets see it been cold and wet. ( Well for Califonia anyway ) So moving slow and needed a break I guess.   :dunno:
The good news is The interior is done, are they ever realy done? but close.
Finally got some pictures outside in the warm sun.  8)

I drove it on the freeway for the first time a few weeks back and discoverd a vibration in the drive line at 70mph. Put it up and remeasured all the drive line angles and they all look good. I talked to my drive line guy about it. He though it might be drive shaft  "critical mass?" because of the longer shaft and the narrow 3" tube it might be wipping. he said it would be at half mass and to go drive it faster and see if it smoothes out at 80 or so. But dont hit 140mph or bad things might happen haha! So today since it was nice and sunny I went for a spin. He was dead on. it smoothed out by 80 and was smooth to 110 figured that was a high enough.  :burnout: So time to build a new 3.5" tube maybe aluminum? not sure how big you have to go for that. Mine was chrome moly. So the drive shaft is back out now and ready to go on monday.

I have to say it  is a BLAST to drive I love the feel.

So its getting very close now. heres some pics I took today.

For some reason the pictures are not coming up for the first 40 pages. I would really love to see this whole build thread in its entirety. I love every aspect of this car. I sure would love to know how you pulled off this interior. Looks outstanding.

I love what you have done with the car. Awesome!!!  What did you do to get the rear license plate to look like that.

The car looks amazing. I expect to see it at the Ohlone show in a few weeks, and I wouldn't be surprised if you take best of show with that car. Congrats.

Conv340,
You still around? Been a long time since we got some updates. I'd assume you cruised the Cuda all summer! Any pictures, or changes?  :popcorn:
