Finally own one
« on: November 28, 2007 - 11:15:14 PM »
Hello, after all these years and I can finally speak as a owner instead of a drueler. It's not much to look at, but it's mine and I enjoy the process. I've already read a lot of helpful info and I'm learning fast, Thanks.

Thank you! As you can tell I've just started on the long road, but I'll get better.

Thanks, 'Cuda was always my favorite car. My friends have a '70 'Cuda, '67 Barracuda, GTX and another has 5 Road Runners. The pressure was to great, I had to buy one. I have OEM wheels and Year One quarters, valences, bumpers and carpet came with it. I'll put the exhaust out the rear where they belong, but those pipes sound awsome. Its a 340 car but has a '67 318 that has a fantasic lop and the motor sounds perfect. For the price I paid, I didn't even know if the motor ran. I got it home and fired it right up, but no drive line yet.

Welcome to cc.com and looks like a great project. Keep us posted on your progress with pictures. If I remember right you will have to save the small avatar to your computer and then go to your profile and change the picture from there and down load the different one to the site.

Help!!! My avatar dissappeared. When I try to load it, it says "the attachments upload directory is not writable. Your attachment or avatar cannot be saved". I made it very small and it still won't load :clueless:
