Cuda comes home with new paint

[6packCuda]

Your car looks great up there. Nice TransAm too.

[Husker Cuda]

Thanks 6pack, How about we trade my T/A for that old black thing that you drive?   

[6packCuda]

I don't think so. I'm kinda attached to that ol' Black thing.

Cuda looks Great! I dig the lift too. Our last home had high ceilings but not this one. I'd love to do it but I can't 

Dig the T/A too!

Thanks jrwoodjoe.  Can't you put a lift kit on your garage?     Just kidding. 
Here is a picture of my new cover I got for the Cuda.  This is one nice cover, a little pricey (around $275) but 10 X better than the other 2 I have bought.  Soft as a baby's but on the inside.  Also threw in a pic of my other brand X toy, 69 Camaro SS 396 4 speed.

Nice 1st gen Camaro.    Is it a L78 Car? 

[elitecustombody]

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.

Thanks Mike, I'd have to go and check my ceiling height, I need to start figuring out how to bring another car home from my shop and be able to park 3 cars in 2 car garage

No (I wish) but it's a L34 350HP 396 which is pretty rare as well.  X22 coded car which is SS 396 with style trim (chrome wheel opening trim etc.)  The Camaro runs pretty good but after driving the 'Cuda the Camaro feels more like a VW!

Maybe I should have said I don't want to do it instead of Can't.

Oh...I could do it alright. But the first time I lift the top car, the bonus room above the garage would get redecorated in a way that my wife may not enjoy. But come to think of it...a car themed bonus room would be cool.  

Nice Camaro Too, BTW.

Is the 396 #s matching?  You could always put it on a stand and go with an L88.    Got to love a high rpm 427

Nope, it got gernaded early in it's life.  I have got to be friends with the guy that owned it from 73 to 2001 and he said it had a replacement engine in her when he got it in 73.  Tranny & rear are original to the car, so yes I could put a L88 in her or a nice 572!  Then it might have a chance against the 'Cuda.

Here is a new picture.  I had some time yesterday and got the wheel well chrome trim installed along with the rocker chrome!  I think it looks much better with a little more bling on it.  I know the pictures would be better outside but damn its cold out there!  It's supposed to get to 29 today for a high here in Nebraska so I think I'll put the blanket back over her and let her sleep until spring.
