    73 Cuda resto
    « on: September 28, 2010 - 03:52:11 PM »
    It started life as a 340 3 speed car.  When my grandfather acquired it he put a 440 4 speed in it.  Now it is getting a 5.7 hemi from street and performance along with a 5 speed auto.  He is the second owner and bought it in 1976.  My dad and I are doing the resto on it.  The car is going to be a two tone, silver and blue.  A few other mods include rack and pinion steering, vintage air and a flaming river steering column.  I will try and post pics.  I am having trouble getting them to post right now.

    Nice work  :2thumbs: I'd love to build an E-body with EFI 5.7 Hemi, modern suspension, all power and A/C to have as a driver.  How cool would that be.  Good luck with the rest of the build  :clapping:
