    Boy the car looks great. I only wish it was at my house so I could start putting it back together. Keep us posted on your progress with pictures and get some good shots of the grille so we can all see how it fits.

    Well we have been busy recently. My Dad and fiance rebuilt the 440 this weekend and my Dad and I installed it and the transmission. We also got most of the exhaust in and I will button that up tomorrow. We also did some other detail work on the car. More pictures to come as we make more progress.

    Been busy the last few days. The exhaust is finished except for the tips the rear brakes are done and the rear end is in. The rear rallye wheels are on and so is the 6 pack. Tomorrow my brother and I are going to install the disk brakes and see how close we can get the car to being finished. The interior will probably be this weekend. I'm starting to get excited it is beginning to look like a car again.

    The Cuda is really coming together. Is that Accurate's exhaust system? It looks great and if it is will sound good as I have accurate's exhaust on my 70 Cuda.

    It is Accurate Exhaust and it was the easiest exhaust I have ever installed.

    Got the shaker assembly on today. I still have to drill the holes for the emblems, but it looks awesome. I also have to rebuild my 3 speed wiper motor, because the 2 speed didn't clear the shaker. I didn't get to install the disk brakes today, because it was freezing cold and I wasn't up to it.

    Cruising season for somebody else I am afraid. Unfortunately due to my financial situation (mostly from moving to Silicon Valley) I will have to sell the cuda after I finish it. It will be listed here as well as other places. I will list a lower price here in case a member is interested. It will be a great car for somebody, too bad not for me. On the bright side I still have my Challengers and those aren't going anywhere.
