    help me build my cuda???
    « on: April 06, 2009 - 05:51:27 AM »
    hey again guys  :wave: I’m in the middle of trying to work out the paint scheme for my 72 cuda as it is soon going to the body shop then soon after pained. The car is a original tor-red car I think' (can’t tell since fender tag is missing) what I’m trying to figure out is what would also look good like maybe some striping or making the grill blacker' things like that? Since the only cuda I’ve seen in person is mine I haven’t been able to get any good ideas for mine' and personally have noticed that things seem to look different in photos as to in person. It would be great to get some ideas from everybody on what you like on your cuda or have seen to help me build mine?

    Thanks

    I am a custom fan myself.  :bigsmile:

    Just search google images for hot rods and such, you are bound to find something that you will like.

    Do whatever you want to do.  The nice thing about a 72-74 is they are not worth what the 70-71's are so you can make them what ever you want and not really hurt the value.  Here is a pic of my 74 FE5 Rallye Red.  I personally think you should leave the grill.  But you can do what you want.  Mine has a 512 stroker & 4 speed.
