    done some more painting this week, door jambs, doors, did some adjustments on the doors


    progresses are slow but lack of time at the moment; still gathering parts for the hemi conversion, only need dual carbs ,clutch and starter

    done a little more last week end, cleaning and painting the front fenders, grille panel;

    today I found body caulking at a body shop so will be able to put the fenders back on the cuda.

    Cuda was built with auto trans at the factory and the swap was made during its previous life in the US. will be hydraulic clutched with a kit from the drivenman.com

    thanks for the compliment  Mentally chall

    Those will look cool sitting side by side. You are going with same white on the Mach? Too cool. Are you building the Cuda to keep or sell?

    the mach 1 will be original color candyapple red, I changed my mind just before bringing it to the bodyshop. the mach is for resale, my wife owns a nice 65 Ht and it is enough to go cruising.

    I will keep the cuda for at least a year after completion but I like having project cars in my garage  so i will probably begin something new then. I think more and more often to import a 2004 mustang cobra next year to go racing and maybe a 68-70 charger as a project.

    projects will be slowed as I am flying to the States on aug 19th for 3 weeks, then I will have to have my garage pass tech inspection because the electricity supply in my garage is too old so i need to replace everything in october, the mach should be re-assembled before end of september

    here is a pict of the mach with side mouldings on.

    haven't done a lot these last 4 monthes due to work commitments, but I kept buying parts and I have most of them to complete the cuda
    I was thinking of adding the cuda louvers on the front fenders but I won't, I will stay with the gran coupé exterior. white evrywhere, magnum wheels, recaro seats for long distance drive,
    I won't put the vynil top back,

    I also bought this 65 el camino from California, it will be my shop truck to carry all kind of loads. engine is 454 big block
