THANX!!!!  ALL !!!!      Yeah, So.   Got more paint.  Didn't feel I had enough.  They screwed it up again. (#3)   SW changed the flattening agent on them.   The fiberglass hood holds too much static.  Bad.   You shoulda seen the spark when I grounded it with a chain.  WoW.  So I did the backside,front spoiler.  Not a big deal.  I'll leave the hood.  And spray it on the car.   Open and close it a little to get the jambs.  :dunno:Tape off the bottom.   Gotta wait till Monday for paint match. Uhg.  So exhaust it iZ!!!

Very nice job.

Went to Golden CO. SupercruizE yesterday.   Epic.    Got the Charger and Chally out.  Really missn that 'cuda.    The cruise is every month in the Summer.    Can I make the next one?  Can it be done?   No side glass er door skins.   I'm gonna try.  Whatever it takes.     Spintech sent two R. side mufflers. Be calling first thing on that.  Because inlet/outlet are not centered on the box I can't just flip the one over.  (But i did for fit up in the pix)   Hassle will mean me cutting it up as usual. Otherwise came out pretty nice.  Sux no lift.   And what I'm thinking slash cut wise, Hard to see with all the plastic.  Might make the angle more extreme.      Ready on the AAR bl4kout now too. Paint back tomorrow.  Here we go. I'll reshoot the front spoiler to check.   Cotton wood suX.     Can't believe the obstacles.   Don't care,  There was nothing like this car at golden.  So I'll be hittn' the shop hard this month.   Dare I say glass friday!?    Hmmm   R/T

Nice, love that exhaust!

It's lookin' great.  I just noticed your spoiler.  Is that custom or if you don't mind, where did you get it?  I'm considering the rylis spoiler but it seems big compared to yours.

Thanks.  Is this similar to the Camaro?  I plan to do more street driving than racing and although I like the look of the Rylis product on a Cuda I wonder if it is too big for my purpose.

[IMNCARN82]

Yes, Front spoiler is from Randy.  Thin metal.   Corners needed trimmed and stitched. Filler from one end to the other.    Yes, Similar to the camaro,Slightly more rounded edges.  I have a fiberglass one.  Tore it off a few times.  Anything larger has a problem with approaches and speed bumps,Parking curbs,Ect.   Randy got the spoiler out quicker than anticipated.  A good product considering it's metal.   

Been talking with spin tech, Turns out some guy in TX ended up with two L. side mufflers.  HA!     Couldn't take it anymore,Welded up the R. side.    :bang head:

Thanks Brad.   And thank you all for helping me stay motivated.  I wander through your builds and know I'm not alone. 

[redo1973]

Thanks.  I was wondering how the larger one would fare on the normal street use. I'm trying to make final preparations to put this into paint but the devil is certainly in the details here, especially as I watch your beauty come together.  BTW - knowing how much time goes into this project, your posts are very much appreciated.

yes,It is.   Means a lot.  and You're welcome.   Wish I was around more.      Been tough. Hard to see with tears streaming down your face. My dog is not well.  And it's more of a slow difficult thing.  Sad.   We've been through so much together.    Feels like I'm gonna loose him soon.      All I can do is make him as comfortable as I can.  Had to leave early today.     Heat stroke Ect.  Work in the hot sun too much.    Up on a lift   Fascia/soffit   lately.   *sigh*

Painted the front spoiler and some other stuff checking the flat paint.  Not as nice as before. He said it's got a lot of flattening agent.  I'm wondering if maybe I should cut back on the reducer,If not at all. ?   It's not bad,I'm just real picky.     Plan now is to get to the shop at 4 AM and let it fly.    Need to move forward.  Been in a holding patter too long.      Depressed.    but the car really helps take my mind off stuff.   R/T

Sorry to hear about your dog. I'm really close to mine too and will be devastated when the time comes. Mine is getting older too.
