Finally got it home
« on: May 17, 2010 - 06:45:42 PM »
I finally got the Cuda on a flat bed today and got it dropped in front of my house. It started pouring rain at about the same time that the tires touched the pavement so I didn't get any pics yet. I need to spend a little time working on the carb to get the car to start easier, but that and air in the tires is all it needs at the moment.
I did discover that it has the 2 wheel squeal deal already, so I won't need to swap out the rear end like I'd originally planned, and the rear gears  have the back tires leaving lots of rubber behind each and every time. Not sure what the ratio is yet, but I'll figure it out sooner or later.
As soon as it stops raining I can move the car up to the side of the house and start work. Right now it's so wet that the tires let go and just spin. You'd think a set of 295/50/15s with full rubber would be able to get up, but I guess not.
Pics will be following soon
1972 Cuda 340 4 barrel 4 speed that looks like a 71
2006 Dodge Charger R/T Daytona
2005 Dodge Ram 2500 Diesel 4X4
2006 Chrysler PT Cruiser Convertible (Kidmobile)
1972 Dodge Charger 318 auto
1970 Challenger 440/727 auto
1973 Plymouth Duster 340/auto (Making it Panther Pink for the wife)
2006 Honda Civic Hybrid (It doesn't save gas, it just diverts it to the Cuda/Challenger)
In desperate need of more property for my growing Mopar family

Here's a few pics. I broke my short lens for my camera so I'm stuck with a 75-300 zoom. It's a little tough to get a good pic without being half way down the street. I have some pics on my phone too, but I haven't figured out how to get them from the phone to the computer yet.
