This lil Cuda is already famous, and the story has not yet went public. Which made me think back to the first day Pam and I went to Tony's shop and he showed us the customers's cars and some of his own. Today I got to thinking about one of those customer cars, one also famous in it's own right. A Super Bee that was stolen, got some national attention in the Mopar mags. and was recovered. The insurance made settlement and Tony has been working on it until a certain Cuda came to the shop. And guess what guys, it too was and will be painted.............Butterscotch.

And as ole Paul Harvey would say,.............and now ya know the rest of the story. And although I was under the Cuda doing something a couple weeks ago the owner of the Bee stopped by to check out the Cuda's paint, and he was more than satisfied. The neat part, Tony had taken a chip sample from the Bee to match for Don's car. The Bee got back to it's owner and the Cuda is headed to a new home.  What's that saying? ............don't ya love it when there is a happy ending.   :2thumbs:

Those are some great pics Tony, I wonder what is behind those "censored" magnetic signs.  :roflsmiley: Don is going to be beyond help, he is just going to freak like totally out dude.  :2thumbs:


After thought, ya suppose we can get some hotties to pose around this lil Cuda? Say maybe all the Miss Carlisle contestants. By Gawd I got my camera ready if I can just steady my pulse and not shake too much.  :smilielol: Call Ed, tell him to thell these gals it is part of this years requirements to pose with the butterscotch Cuda.  :roflsmiley:  :roflsmiley:  :cheers:  :bananasmi

 :iagree:  I won't know what to do, if I can't stop by this thread for updates.  :walkaway:  :crying:

I guess I will have to wait until they unlock this thread for Don, and see what he has to say.  :clapping:

GREAT JOB! EVERYONE.

I know it says "Censored"  But we can see it when we enlarge the other pics.    GOOD CALL on the logo, He'll love it.
Great job Tony and all that were able to help out.  I wish that I lived closer.
