Cuda comes home with new paint
« on: January 26, 2008 - 09:56:37 PM »
After over 6 months sitting in a body shop my Cuda finally came home yesterday.  Looks like it turned out really nice, now the fun begins.

Got a pretty good start on my M46 optioned Barracuda restoration but now it is on hold till I can gather more funds.  Still need a few parts for it.  SIU Graduate 75 AAS Automotive Tech, 94 BS Advanced Tech Studies, 1997 MSED Workforce Education and Development

Great looking.  What color is that?  It looks like either a Burnt Orange, or the current Go-ManGo.

Congrats on getting it home, it looks awesome!  :wow:  Consider yourself lucky on the timing.  It took me 18 months to finally get the paint and body work done between shops sitting on the job, switching shops and finally 7 months at the place that got the job done.  >:(  Enjoy the rebuild, that's the best part of the project  :2thumbs:

Mike I hope you find more free time to put your Cuda back together than I did as it took me a year after it was painted to get mine all back together. I think I just took to many items off the car when I tore it down. Good luck getting it back together and keep us posted on your progress with pictures so we can all see it go back together.
