    Another FY1 '70 Cuda project
    « on: April 23, 2008 - 01:07:41 AM »
    Here are a few pictures of my Cuda that is currently having its body work done.  :thumbsup:

    My plan is to restore the exterior and interior back to stock options. Upgrade the transmission, suspension and stroke the 340.

    Tell me what you think! I listed my options in the vin/broadcast sheet section for those interested in the Cuda's options.

    Thanks for the compliments.

    808- I'm not sure about the louvers, but I will ask the previous owner. I bought the car from him as you see it know with all the parts seperate...One big jigsaw puzzle.

    Here are a few pictures from the body work that was completed in Feburary.   :working:

    The body work is being done by a guy that worked with Matt Delaney in Shreveport. If you saw the yellow challenger in the Mopar Mags, he did a lot of the bodywork on that car.

    Sorry for the crappy resolution, parents are still trying to figure out the internet. :roflsmiley:

    Dead thread update...

    It's been a while, so I figured an update is in order.  After talking with Russ, the guy doing the bodywork, we (dad and I) decided to get a lot of new sheetmetal for the car...(fenders, inner fenders, quarters, roof, trunk lid). It took some time to save the cash, but in the end the car will look a lot better than if Russ patched the old pieces. Here are a few pics of the new metal direct from AMD. These were taken in March 2009. I should have new pics in January of everything welded in place.
