    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.

    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.
