The "CudaGuy Project"

[RUSTY Cuda]

It's a shame that you very rarly see stuff like this in the main stream news, it's usually in local papers only or stuffed way in the back, or a 5 sec sound bite somewhere, getting older & having been emersed in "BAD" news , a few bad experiances with people , I have to be convinced someone is on the level.
That being said I have witnessed a few good deeds,been able to help in small ways in a few of them & have regained a little faith in the human race, the good far & away outnumber the bad & will pitch in when they hear of someone in need or a project to help someone out. You just never hear about it unless it touches you directly, I for one am glad I heard of a few. My outlook has been brightened somewhat!
Back to the car!   AWSOME! Rich.

We just got back from Tony's shop, Don Sr., Don Jr's brother and a couple other guys came down from Mi. and were working away when we left, also Dragfish (Mark) was still there helping out. What Keith (pistol gripper) said is so true, the local area around Tony has some strong Mopar influence and an even stronger military support. Tony will just have to share some of "his" neighbor's responses from just this weeksend alone. Patriotism is alive and well around Fort Jennings, Ohio !   

Oh, David, you are so observant, actually thery were not exactly matching shirts. Truthfully, I never realized we both had on red shirts, but match? Naw, Pams' buldge out at the top, and mine has a middle / lower hump.

Recieved the wrong torque converter. We stiil made some progress. Monday, hopefully we can obtain the right converter and install the motor. Took a cool pic of the engine alongside the Cuda.

Tony,

Looks like things are going back in OK, the heater box had me worried after pulling that wad of leaves out.  Nice looking trunk mat.  Keep up the good work.

WSM(Jim) is right, One of my good friends(Bruce Kahle) stopped by on Sat and donated a full new exhaust as soon as we get the motor in and running. He made a few calls and we have all the brake components we need donated and the seat frame have been picked up by Bruce to be blasted and powder coated. On Monday Bruce is going to contact a guy in the area to see if he can repair the one seat back and recover the seats. If Bruce can alter his busy schedule from his family business, he will transport the Cuda in an inclosed trailer on Thurs July 5th. This whole project has become very emotional for me. I have butterflies in my stomich and a proud lump in my throat!

And rightly so!  You're doing a great job and without you I'm not sure this would meet our goal.     Thank you for all you have done to make this become a reality!

Not sure if this has been brought up, but Car of the month for July sounds right.

If Bruce is willing to transport to Carlisle, you can tell the commitment level in your Ft. Jennings / Kalida crew is really strong!  Way to go, Bruce!!

Jim, It's a small world! I didn't know you knew Jeff Maxwell. A very good friend of mine.

Woops, I goofed, I thought it was someone else. I'm sorry, I hope I didn't offend your friend. My assumsions were incorrect, I appoligize.  But if he is a friend of yours he has to be an OK guy.
