    It's Finished! 1970 FK5 Burnt Orange Cuda project
    « on: July 12, 2009 - 02:34:50 PM »
    Three years and close enough to call it done  :cheers:. Some parts not on yet (splash shields, etc) and some correct stuff still to install (hose clamps and such) but time to enjoy!  :burnout:

    Yes, 1970 FK5 is the same regardless of the line.  Same holds true for all other paint codes as well.  Same code = same color (even if it has a different name).

    Beautiful car. great color and drivetrain combo.  I noticed the CT plate, will you be bringing it to the Old Saybrook Mopar show next week, 7/19?  I'm visiting CT from FL next week and will be at the OS show.  Hope to see it there :drool: :drool: :drool:

    Please do yourself a favor and swap the fuel filter to the metal style before you begin any extended cruising  :grinyes:

    Thanks for the comments!

    Tom, I would have loved to bring the car to Carlisle, I've been meaning to be there for years.

    Solar: I will definitely try to get to Saybrook. Please introduce yourself if you see me there. I'll wear my black Cuda340 polo shirt!

    Onefornow: I do have the metal filter, that's the next to-do. Nice catch!

    Maybe next year, I drive right through CT on the way!  We can caravan, I met a guy in Ct on Thurs and we cruised down together.

    I love the color, can't wait to work on my 70.
