I guess you can count me out of the young guns club...27. But the Cuda is coming along very slowly. I haven't been able to do much to it in the past year. http://www.cuda-challenger.com/cc/index.php?topic=44384.0

Does an AAR Cuda inspired SRT-4 count?  :smilielol:

Also, my brother (21) has a nice 72 Scamp with a 318 auto.

Killer - Nice chally! And the SRT-4 isn't too shabby either!

I'm almost 23. Had my Barracuda for almost five years now. I don't meet the criteria since I'm in the never ending stage of research, gathering parts, and working towards the facilities to tear the car down. The car will undergo a complete disassembly when I get it ready. No piece by piece, all or nothing!

Car will get compete paint and body work. Floors, some rust repair. Several chassis stiffening components (similar to XV's products). Complete from end rebuilding/upgrading. Brake upgrades front/rear. 904 to 4spd overdrive manual conversion. 318 to magnum/roller 360 swap. Custom painless wiring harness. Some more custom touches in there. Plan on never "completing" the project however . :working:

John,

Can you PM me her home address?  I would like to donate the gift certificate I got from Eastwood to her project. 

As far as the rest who have posted, thank you for your replies but from what I can tell, you guys have your cars well on their way and this car could use the Eastwood love.

Thanks again guys for the replies.

Thanks. I just picked the SRT up a couple weeks ago and honestly, its more fun to drive than my Challenger. Been a fan of the SRTs for a long time and the right one popped up, so I bought it. It has stage 3 and supporting mods, just need to do a little trans/clutch upgrading and it will be time to turn up the boost :icon16: Good luck with your cuda project, just saw your thread and it looks like you are doing it right :2thumbs: Cant wait to see it done and Im sure it will come out nice.....in the meantime have fun in that SRT :burnout:

Details? and what are your plans for it?

Hey Don,
Here's 3 guys working on various projects all under 21 years old. 69bronzeT5 (Cody from Canada), 70burntorangeT/A (Brandon from Arkansas) and 71challengerSE (Chris from Virginia Beach, VA). I don't think any of them have posted here in a few weeks or longer, but they are all active on this site. I can give you details about one of the projects one of these young guns is working on and  am sure would be very grateful for a gift certificate. You can PM me if you wish. Hope you are well my friend. I'm looking forward to being sucked up your intake & spewed out your exhaust (In your dreams)!! LOL :roflsmiley:

Matt,

Thanks for chiming in.  If Patricia does not need the gift cert then its open to someone else if they need it. 


Dont dont worry Matt when Alan gets done with my cuda "I will suck your Chally up one exhaust pipe and blow it out the other!"

 :burnout:


That is one of the of my favroite quotes my Step-Dad used to say when he was telling stories of him drag racing when he was a young man.  I love to dust it off when talking about racing...
