this started out to be an average project UNITL we media blasted the Cuda, Many years of sitting in a corn field suddenly caught up with this one, But since sept 2008 many hours of metal work and blocking here we are. Not done yet but getting their. 472 hemi, 5 speed, RMS suspension front and rear. Vintage air system, Wilwood setup on 17 inch wheels.

Awesome looking car man! That car in the garage and I would be like Tony Stewart in that commercial where he comes out of the store and just stares at his car for hours. That one is gonna be a beaut!  :ylsuper:
