My 71 hemicuda LIVES!

My 71 hemicuda clone started up for the very first time today. I shot a short video. It's not a very good video, but I'm excited to see the car finally coming to life! I thought I'd share:

   Just hearing a BB Mopar fire off sure gets the juices flowing, I need a sound track like that to serve as a morning alarm clock.

Music to your ears I'm sure! Wow does that thing ever sound responsive!
Have you ordered a spare set of tires for the rear ? Sounds like your gonna need em!

Thanks for all the great comments, everyone! Hearing the bippity bip from the engine really gets my adrenaline going. I can't believe it's finally getting to this point. It almost doesn't seem real.

I'm actually not sure what exhaust I'm going to run. I'm leaving that up to the expert, Paul Christophersen, who's finishing the build for me. All I've heard is 3" and X-pipe. I trust that it will be exactly what the car needs. I can't wait!

  Excellent!!!

Hey 71 that cuda sounds great Open make sure you add the switch cutouts to the exhaust , ( summit ) so you can fully unleash the beast that is what I am gonna do.
