Just sitting here listening to Sweet Home Alabama!!!!
« on: January 02, 2009 - 01:45:30 PM »
Things are all coming together to get my car done.  I hope to see it started on soon.  Got an engine lined up for it now and it sounds so good to my ears.  I just can not wait to get the new sheet metal on it and and get it painted and looking so sweet.  I have had the car for several years and 09 is the year it will be done.  I just can not wait to see it done and change my avatar with it done.  Gordon

I also started thinking how long it has been since I had a real nice 70 cuda.  It was back in 1974 or 5 or 6.  Not sure when I got rid of all of them.  I know it was before I went into the air force in the late 70's.  So I have the bug real bad to get mine done!!!!!

Just having a hard time waiting to get started on it.  It seems to be really coming together so I can have a real sweet ride and it will have enough power to peel the tires all I want and I am so glad to get that.  Just going to be so cool to drive a Barracuda again.  Gordon

One reason I like this site is because of the yellow cuda at the top gives me inspiration to get mine done and looking that good or better!!!!!!

I was listening to the vid of the engine and listening to it.  It sounds so good to my ears I am downloading it so I can watch it anytime I want.   Sure gives me inspiration to get into my car and hear it!!!!!!!!   Just can not wait to get more of the parts for my car and start the process of getting it done!!!!!!!!!  Gordon

Not trying to rush it but want to get the parts while I can for sure.   Just going to be fun when I get home and all the parts will be there for my car.  It is so good to make that much progress anyway!!!!!!!

More things keep coming together for my car and I just can not wait to see all of the new parts I will have to go through when I get home.  It is getting closer every day that I get to go home and I can not wait.  Gordon

My engines were to be delivered today and taken to Alan's garage.  I hope they made it good and can see them soon.  I am going to order my sheet metal before the end of the month to get it on the way also.   Gordon
