    Thanx.   To everyone.   

    Sourced the glass stuff i needed from a mopar orphanage. Going to a good cause. Me!   And my buddies delivering them as I type. That's service!  Black gorilla lugs showed up. As well as the horn button. Been wait'n on that.    Little things.   Black screws everywhere.   The glass jokers only charged me 300 bux for the F/R so I might have em do the side glass.  They have done hundreds.  No joke.  I've done none.  Sure I can do it. Butt.         

    Wrapping the package tray in headliner material.  Need to order CUDA floor mats and sill plates.   Still debating on white letter tires.  A red pinstripe on the wheel lip. (my least favorite)  Or maybe painting the inside of the wheels red?  Hmmmm.   Probably just the white letters.  That will take days. 

    Golden and Goodguys here I come !

    I love your car and I'm a huge fan.

    My only dissention is that I wish you would have put the bigger wheels and lowered the car more like the rendering. Just my opinion.

    Other than that, totally awesome!!

    Red pinstripe - oh no! White letters on tyres are more than enough.

    Fantastic car!

    Just the white letters. ya.    Most say just the redlines.   I don't like em myself.    And I don't really like big wheels on these cars.  Anything over 18" and it starts to look like a toy to me.  I like the 17"    17X11"  out back over winter.   Or them dang forge lines    As for lowering the car that's gonna happen eventually.  I'm researching shocks.   Not much room under there.Custom headers needed to slap it down that low.   Was considering bags until I heard they weren't recommended on the RMS stuff. 

    So just ordered the last of it. Yeah, That's what I said, You heard right.   Not a whole lot left now. Got the interior panels cleaned up.  Bunch o little stuff. Mirrors on.   all about the side glass now.   Really comn together!!!   Actually.  I tend to just stand there and stare at it now mostly.  In the light of it's basic overall completion.  I'm beside myself.   The journey has been epic.   Never over,But you know what I mean.  Yeah, I'll spruce up the 340 and jamb that back in someday.  Rework the rear axel for those 11".    Uh, And a hoist so I can make panels with flush fasteners across most of the underside of the car.  EFI six-barrel.  Hm   Yeah, I'm not join anywhere.   

    Wanted again to say THANK YOU!  To all of you here at CC.c   I may not know all your names.   You have been absolutely instrumental in this personal undertaking.    Travis, Seeing his ride made me believe it could happen, But there are SO many.   Scott, Wherever he is, That yellow vert is crazy!  Twisted fish.
    JAS,CP,Brad,Anlauto,Johns cuda shop, Topcat.  I can't even name them all.    It has been a real pleasure being a part of this website.  I'll never forget the cuda cut project.  That's when I realized this place was different.  When I first got this car a door handle broke. Alaska T/A sent me one. Better than before. For free.  From Alaska!

    After all of this.  All the times I'd get discouraged. Broke.  Out of time.  Too many other things to do.   This has to me personally. Taken the most skill,Determination,And patience I have.  And I'm proud of myself for seeing it through.   Not a little feat doing it all yourself.    Some say it's just a car, I say it's my Dream'Cuda.   

    and through it all.  My best friend there with me.

    thank you.

    Pics it iz.     Tires are tedious at 4 hours per.  One left todo.    Does look good, Just as I envisioned it so long ago.   Didn't know the goodyear logo was different on either side.  One looks old school,Might put that out someday.  The electrical is complete.  And is quite the light show!   Going through everything.  Gettn close to a test drive.   Crazy!!    :cooldancing:

    love the car and I especially love the wheels. I originally envisioned my car with an AAR stripe but then decided against it, however after looking at your car now I am rethinking it. I am sure you stated where you got it, but if you don't mind could you state it again. I am thinking of 416 where yours says 340 (I do like the AAR though...).

    Great job!!

    Been too busy. My bro got married this past weekend. So not much time for the cuda. But tonight I got in, Fired her up.  Backed out and drove around the shop!  Need to bleed them brakes!   UhG.    So April 15, 2013 - 10:28:42 AM »  I unzipped the rear  quarter skin and it was on.   3 years,4 months,18 days,6 hours,32 minutes, And 18 seconds.    Or something like that.       Trying to test/tune this week for golden.  Not thrilled on driving down with no side glass in.  Guess I'm doing that myself. These jokers haven't gotten back to me. And they know It's all I need.  As usual.  In the end you're better off doing it  all  yourself.    Stripe is from Challenger Gary.   

    Quite the thrill to spin her around after so long.
