    IT'S ALIVE!!!!!!!! :woohoo:
    Finally got time to get the radiator mounted and hooked up, get the plug wires hooked up, coil hooked up.  Dumped a little 110 octane in the bowls of the Demon and it come to life!  Sounds really nasty.  I also got my 7290 yoke installed on the rear end.  Drive shaft is supposed to be here next week.  Now I can work on installing front fenders, hood, bumper & grille and get it ready to drive.  Oh yea still need windshield & rear window installed.  Anyway I am making progress!

    Thanks again for the compliments! 
    Ken, this thing sounds about like a sprint car motor when you get it up around 3K and open it up.  I think I better be in the CENTER of the road when i decide to press the gas down for the first time.

    6pack, the radiator is from Fred (frico@charter.net)  He does a great job and it fit real nice.  Mine is a 22" car but I had him make me a 26".  I only had to drill out the two holes on the passenger side to mount it.  I made a couple of .200 washers to shim it out so it sits nice & straight.  He also has the ability to anadize them in black to make them look stock as well.  Give him a shout, he will take good care of you.

    R/T hedkace, thanks for the nice comments.  I am proud of what my 74 is turning into, should be a blast to cruise in.  I adjusted the passenger side door and mounted the front fender tonight, will work on getting it aligned and bolted down tight tomorrow night.  Starting to look like a real car finally!

    Mike it looks like you will be cruising before summer is over for sure. I'll bet the Cuda will be a blast to drive so make sure you know how much power it has before you put the hammer down.

    Yes, I will need to look for a place with lots of room when I open her up for the first time.  I think its time for me to start looking for some wider tires for the back?  Here are some pics of the fender for you Ken!

    Got the drivers side fender & header panel installed today.  Oh and I actually drove it out of the 1st garage stall and DROVE it in to the 3rd stall to make more room to install the fender.  It ran great for the big journey!  Here are some fresh pictures.
