CRAZY how pumped you get moving a car that you haven't driven in a while... then you get into anything newer than 05' and it's no big deal.   Aye... I love/hate this stuff hahah.

More test spins here!!   Getting ready to cruise around town.   Need to insure it.   (grundy)  And here's the question:   How much is it worth?   Hmmm.   

Starting to conquer the glass!  One piece in, 3 to go. And I'm gettn it!     Rear spoiler on.  New floor mats n nice sills from Roseville.  Little finishing touches. No word on the backseat yet.  I'm gettn' REAL close.    Needs to be complete to show tho.

How did you blacken the stainless on the quarter windows?

[IMNCARN82]

I scuffed with 100grit.  primer/filler.  Sealer/single stage flat paint with all the trim.    Tape or wrap would work though. I used electrical tape with amazing results around the chrome edge of the headlight bezels. It is so nice I couldn't bring myself to paint it. 

The rear running lights are red enough,I'll leave em for now.   Clip on mud flaps eh.

Been driving it around!!!    Can you believe it!?!?   I'm freakn out a little. It looks fake.  The exhaust is mean. The whole thing is mean.  Plum mad dog mean.

I  LOVE   IT !!!!!!!
 Be cruising tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ha!   ThanX Dutch! 

Well, Still messn around with it.  Some kinda carb. trouble again.   It runs fine for a little while.  Then while idling it loads up or something. RPM's drop and it wants to die. If I give her gas she sputters real good.  Like a cycle.  Then fine again.    Weird.  I have no luck with carbs.  Always a hassle at altitude. Hm   think an efi throttle body set-up for now. Uhg.     Any thoughts?

Maybe jetting issues since you live at Altitude with attitude!!! 

Whats the carb breakdown? The Cuda looks amazing btw.

Beautiful piece of art there.

I don't have altitude issues (at near sea level in WA state), however I have the same issues with my 6 pack in my Challenger which is exactly why I am going to EFI for it (already have it on my SB Cuda which I am building). I have come to believe that with the current fuel quality and the lack of driving or sporadic use of these classic cars, EFI is the only way to go.

What are you running for a carb,I am here in Denver and yep PIA ,but I did get an Eddied to run decent, but yes FI is in the future with this bilge water swill ,they call fuel up here

[IMNCARN82]

eh just the Eddy carb. Float levels were way off. Acc. pump is fine.  She's running better.  Ended up with a hiflo cooler thermostat. Gonna split the 2X12" fans up. No cooling issues.   Test driving every chance I get. Going over stuff ect.   Back seat is here! Looks good!!   Hard to get a good pic.     Ya I'm going EFI over winter.   

Missed KBPI car show.   Butt I'll make GoldeN !!
