Thanx…  It's painted. Can't believe I did it…    My best job to date. 5.5 hrs.  Not one run or sag.  Sure there's dirt. Been cuttn and a buffn as I can. tedious business.    The engine bay is real good.  I'll be gettn some more pix and a vid or two.  Still not real techie.      Come a long way.      This is not finished.  Still got #3 on the body.  Going in early tomorrow and get my buff on. So I'll be showing her off.  Can't wait to switch gears and toss the wheels under her again!!  Start spinning wrenches.   Gonna do that before the fenders go on and the AAR blackouts.    R/T    :aarg:

NaH…  I'm just a regular guy.  With a keen eye and a passion.      "Perfection is something you sneak up on, And when you get close. Back away slowly"  R/T

I do high-end everything. Kitchens/baths…Hidden rooms. (construction) You name it.     a hobby... turned obsession.    This cuda is a testament to the blue collar joe…     The working man/woman.  Pushed to the limit and then the next level.   Da Vinci was right…   He said that the statue was in the stone,He was just letting it out…   I know what he means.  This is like that for me…   It's pushed me to my limits. And way beyond.   

Thanx for the comments.  I'll be around here more…  R/T

Hey Brad!  ThanX!  Always good to hear from a fellow nut-job!   Hope you've been well up der!

So here she is!   Just prepped for assembly.  Not a show buff yet. There's a couple things I'll go after.

Check out the B pillar on the way back…  Stunning. And the quarter to dutchman seams flow nice.  Note the frame plates in the bay. They are like mirrors.   This thing really sucks the light in like a black hole.   

Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving!   And next time you're with your cuda/challenger…  give em a little rub for me!

Hey Robert,

Have you given any thought to a two tone interior like in a 71 ?
You could do Black and Red, 71 had Black with Orange. But for what you are doing everything goes Black, even the seat backs, but just the seat skins themselves can be Red, it would suite your whole colour scheme then.

PS: i think you missed a spot buddy...............

Always something goin on around here!    HEY TOM !!!

Dash pad is on the way to JD.
Dash frame is being finished up now… Glove box,Ash tray Ect…
Custom chrome tubing made up to hide the wiring harness in the bay down the frame (s)
Wiring harness is here.
Touching up the cage, couple more bolts.
Custom gauges
Different wheels/tires

That's just the tip of the iceberg. Don't even get me going…   the 360 and 5 speed is gettn fired up in a stand. At a buddies shop.  Checkn' her over before going back in.  Just until I mess with the 340 more.    Can't decide on the interior!!!   Red seats!!!??? ya maybe.  Was thinkn some kind of ricer/racing type seat. Butt.
Open to some suggestions.   Black skins.   Red accents. (small)  was my idea.   Gotta be classy.  Best part is…  Been bustin big a$$ on the  job. So funds and me are a storm waiting to happen!  I love to order stuff!   Dave I need you!  :poopoke:   

I'll get sum pix for you'ze all!   

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYBODY!!! :woo:

Is that a spin-tech exhaust or ? Looks oval?
