Au contraire (sp) 4cruzin :D. Only concentrating on the '73 for right now. Since i no longer have either of my Charger RT's due to trying two many projects at once, i've learnt my lesson  :-[.

I'd love to post some update photos of my car but Mum installed new hard ware and the scanner and other bits aren't working!  :-X I'll have to use a couple of pages once it's working again.  :D ;D

I now have 2 car under construction with the 73 hardtop getting a quick makeover . . . . . on the outside anyways.  Metal fenders replacing the 12 years fiberglass pair that are showing their wear and a quick touch-up on just about every panel on the car.  I think the only thing we didn't paint was the hood and the deck lid.  Now all that is needed is to put it back together.  With the exterior of the car good for another decade, I need to build the new hemi, install the 5 speed, update the suspension and drive!!  ;D  ;D  ;D  

PS: First I must finish the convert though!!  ;)

Newbie here!

'73 cuda 340.  I bought it to do a "quick resto" in 1999 and I'm finally getting around to it this year (having 3 kids age 6 and under doesn't leave much spare time!)

It was originally Y1 Lemon Twist and that's what it will be when I'm done. Tonight I was looking at a bit of bodywork I did over the weekend and my daughter said "Dad, I can't wait 'till it's yellow!"  Tell me about it...

Don't forget me!  1971 Plymouth 'Cuda  340  It's currently at the paint shop getting painted orange.  Then I'm going to add some black billboard stripes on it myself.   ;)

Thanks for the welcome! I'll post some pics this weekend, but it's not much to look at right now I'm afraid.

Just curious, is anyone else out there working on their project without having a garage? I have to work on mine in the driveway and in the backyard, and it's getting to be a pain. I'm hoping someone has done it this way successfully.

Welcome to the board Cuda340-73.  Well at least its getting warm in Boston!  I have always been lucky enough to have a garage for my projects, but I don't see why you couldn't do it outdoors!   ;)

As long as you've got a car port... I think you'd be just fine... or anything over your head really... no garage walls makes it a TON easier to move around the car!! ::)
