    After over 2 years of looking around , following dead end leads, lookin' at garbage for the money,  newspaper adds , cars-on-line, bought Miss NIKKI.                                                                                                           Found out my Sure Grip DOES!!! 

    Found out even a crate HEMI can glue your a$$ to the seat!

    Got some respect from my GM and Blue Oval buddies... and some rices too!

    Had a great time with the great folks on this site!

    For starters I spent a lot of time here with you all and enjoyed every minute of it
    Bought my engine for the 69 cuda,and put it back together after 6 years got to drive it
    Bought my first e-body my 2nd e-body(parts car)and a third one that was a partnership to sell and profit,and a friend gave me the fourth
    Blew up the trans a few times in the 69,then grenaded the torque converter,oh well crap happens and its all straitened out now.
    Went and met many people in the hobby,Went for my first ride in a HEMI.And drove a B-body(68 GTX)
    Got to sit in my friends superbird before he sold it.
    I met RTHedkace at a swap meet
    To date my most memorable mopar year------I hope to top it this comming year-----Your friend---THE CLOWN

    I got back from Japan in Dec. 05. With a Sh*t load of money that I had been saving for this car, I finally had the chance to throw it at some parts. Jan. brought a RMS Alter-k-tion and it all started from there. As the year passed I
    * purchased a D1-SC from www.thesuperchargerstore.com
    * a hydroboost brake system from Hydratech
    * Tremec 5-speed conversion from Keisler
    * a bunch of hi-perf engine goodies fron Hughes for the 360 engine I scored for free
    * a Strange Engineering S-60 rearend
    * and an AirRide 4-bar kit w/o airspring(got coilovers)
    I got it all installed except for building the supercharged 408" stroker motor. I had to set out for foreign lands in October so Project go-fish went on hiatus. I plan on building the engine when I get back and giving her some road trials to wok out any mechanical bugs, then it's teardown for paint and body work.
    My wife wants a boob job now so I think the body work is going to be delayed. Hey guys it's a tough choice, I like cars and I like t!ts.

     Got through the first 11 months ok, then as I previously posted I got the front fender clipped, then this morning my wife informs me that last night while my son was removing his dirt bike from his cousins truck after a long day of riding he backed his bike rear fender up into my backup light, breaking the lense  :pullinghair:
     And he was too scared to tell me himself, but he did find me a replacement lense on E bay with a "buy it now", so it will be here soon.

    Worked on the car the whole winter. Had the car featured in a Norwegian magazine called "Amcar" Got 4 pages with my Cuda and my twinbrothers Mustang. Got it back on the road to Hot August Nights in Trondheim, our cars where used in the information folder for that event. After that, just cruising really. In august I went to Artic Circle Raceway for a roadrace event, got a price too. In September I participated on in an weekend meeting with a 1/8 dragrace. Used the car Until early october when the snow came. Cuda is now in hibernation. Thats my moparyear.. and oh.. met a girl three weeks ago that think my car is the coolest one around!  :ylsuper:

    I got the 392 back together and back in the Cuda after a new paint job on the engine bay. Replumbed the front brakes and added a line lock. Did a couple of burnouts in the driveway, which irritated the wife. First time I hammered on the Cuda on a back road the B&M shifter screwed up (cable housing split) and over revved the 392, resulting in 2 bent intake valves. Got sidetracked with the new Harley and haven't pulled the heads to replace the valves, so there it sits until my broken ribs get healed enough to work on the car. Those 392 heads weigh 75 lbs. apiece!

    Bought my 74 Barracuda in May 06. Installed new headers and powder coated them. Got new wiper motor linkage, rebuilt transmission and added 2500 stall convertor. Installed drivers side window, new battery, new alternator, new front floor pans (not installed), fix dash lights, new battery bracket, new chrome air cleaner and brake fluid cover. New brake booster, new interior light cover, new door sills, new dimmer switch and cluster, new horn relay (uninstalled), installed scoop inserts, bought new scoops for future resto, new trunk mat. Bought new front tires,new vacuum reservoir for pb, new front license plate bracket. The plans for 07 are new carpet and headliner, new dash pad, new door locks, new exterior door handles, new mirrors inside and exterior, fix crack in grill, rust removal and body work and maybe new paint.  Backup lights just died so gotta see what's wrong with them now. Hopefully in 07 bumbers rechromed also. We'll see just thankfull got my car in the first place.
