    Is there any letters with the vin number?

    That turquoise looks great.  Much better match for the car than orange.


    here`s the vin.  not sure what to make of it though.

    Does look great, but you didn't want to use the factory holes on the firewall for the voltage reg and ballast resistor?  Ditto putting the coil on the intake.

    I'm just not one for drilling more holes than need be.

    there were several reasons why the parts are where they are. all in all I welded up more then I drilled.   Should have welded more.  first timer mistakes... sh!t happens...
    I did want to mount the coil to the intake, but that wont work, It just too close to the carb.

    Hi Bart-
    I guess winter has moved into spring in Europe.  Warmer weather and right back to work on the Cuda.

    Your engine bay looks awesome. What a transformation. Everything – the paintjob, hardware, etc – looks nice and clean and crisp (paint job).  :bigshades:
    I sent your Before & After pictures out to my car-buddies.  Everyone’s rather impressed.
    Keep up the good work; I know you will  :2thumbs:
    Maybe by fall you’ll be able to cruise the Cuda and scare the hell out of the 4-cylendar Euro-cars

    Take care, :cheers:
    Ron
