     Some day my Cuda will be Winchester Gray again. It always had been from day one till I stripped all the paint off.

    Thanks again guys for all the compliments.  The car is numbers matching so I was obliged to bring her back to her original condition and color.  I mean comon, how many Cudas do you see with a luggage rack but that is what she came with and that is what she has again. Winchester Gunmetal is a rare color but it looks great and I think once I slap the matte black billboards on her it will help balance it all out.

    Oh by the way, I did take her on her first shakedown cruise tonite.  First time I have ever driven it and I was nervous as heck but she did great and I had a beer when I got back so I will recover too.  I can't wait to run her down to my local cruise nite on Thursday and finally be able to shut up all my friends that keep asking "hows the Cuda coming along".

    Very nice!but I`d leave the billboards off as I think it will clash with the lugage rack and besides-everyone adds them but do what you like as it`s your car just  :2cents:

    Congratulation, very impressive car.   But I'm not sure she looks like a "Betty", maybe a "Raquel" or a "Samantha"!  I think I would have to go with something with the word "hammer" in it, cuz of that awesome color!!

    I'll be another to vote for leaving the Billboards OFF.  Everyone seems to put them on.  It's nice to see one without them.

    Love the color.  Do you have any pics of the car during the restoration as well as the underside and suspension components.  That is what I really like to see. :thumbsup:

    Ok the nays win, the billboards are shelved.  They will either go on ebay or if someone here is interested please let me know. I do value the groups opinion.
