    Check's in the mail, Dave!   :misbehaving: :roflsmiley: 

    thedodgeboys, I called a buddy of mine told him since I was out of town he would have to go pickup my Cuda and take it home.  I had to twist his arm but not too much.  Told him to take it easy on her or he would be turned the other direction and not know what happened!   :burnout:  Will try to get some pictures when I get home this weekend with the glass installed.

    Ok, I am getting closer.  I got the windshield & rear glass installed.  I also ordered 15x8 & 15x7 roadwheels and had P275-60-15 & P215-65-15 BFG's installed on them.  I got them mounted today and took a few pictures.  I know I still have the chrome piece across the trunk to install and work more on getting the front clip all lined up but I'm getting closer.  The larger tires on the rear make it look much better and should help hold it to the road.   :burnout:

    Hi Husky,

    Cuda looks incredible old mate.......... :drool:  But i do not think that those rear tires are big enough to tame that beast under the hood :burnout: :smilielol: :2thumbs:

    Sorry I was out of town  :roflsmiley:


    Your car looks sweet...

       :iagree: I think you need much larger tires ...    :burnout:   Maybe some drag radials would help?

    Thanks for all the comments guys!  I took the wife & daughter for a ride yesterday.  They thought it was great until I pushed on the gas going about 15 mph in 2nd and the rears went up in smoke!  My daughter was not happy!  She made me promise not to do it again!   :stomp:  But accidently bumped the throttle once more just for fun on the way home.  This thing is a blast to drive!  Need to get the front end aligned but otherwise it's about complete.  Now if I can just find someone that wants to sell a M code 69 1/2 Roadrunner for around $5k!  I think I better look for a building first as I am out of room.

    Here is the Cuda's new home for the winter.  Had to do something so I could get my truck inside for the winter months.  I hate scraping ice!   :stomp:  Anyway I bought this Direct lift Pro-park 8 4 post.  It works great and will make working on the underside of my cars much more bearable.  Now I can see if I can find out why my clutch wants to slip under load, could be the 600 ft lbs of torque?

    exvolocity, the ceiling is around 10'6" high.  I can raise the lift to the top lock and still have around 4" of clearance on the top car and have plenty of room for the bottom car.
