Hey Fishn4Cuda, just one quick question.  Do you plan on beefing up the chassis with subframe connectors and torque boxes?  It may be something worth doing so if Don wants to put a higher output engine in it, the car won't twist up on him. :cheers:  Just an idea as I've gotten ahead of myself and now need to grind off some paint, install the US Tool contoured subframe connectors & torque boxes, then repaint it again. :banghead:

Awesome news on Friday. Jim Nagel, the guy that does our shop media blasting, was down checking progress on his project and ask about the Cuda. I told him the story about what we were doing for Don and he offered to donate media blasting the entire underside.
A big thanks to Jim at J & B Media Blasting. :clapping: :2thumbs:

just a thought but has anyone thought to write to Barry Mcguire (the Mcguire Wax guy from Mcguires Car Crazy) to let him know what we are doing to see if they could donate something?
