I forgot how freaky cool that car was. Courtney is hot but I wouldn't let her drive it - women ALWAYS break things.

On another note, that rear shot caught my eye. Who did the lower rear valance for you? I want mine to look like yours but think I would spend hours and may not look right afterwards.

The interior is all wraped in leather including the door skins and all window trim. The door skins also have polished aluminium inserts. We built the center consol that runs the entire length of the car and splits the rear seats. I installed rear shoulder belts in the rear. The front seats are from a BMW convertible and have integrated seatbelts. The dash was Rocky Mountain Dashes and it has Autometer gauges. We made custom pieces for the AC and Radio panels.

A friend and I did the rear valence. It is a pain to do but worth it in my opinion. We took my valance and cut the openings away and then took an old scraped valance and cutout the solid section to get the approximate contour. We welded these in place and then started with the dollys and worked it for a few hours. Once it was close, we put some mud on it and started the sanding process. If you are going for that super clean look this is a must.

So you had a donor valance for the patch panels? Was it a Chally valance? I was thinking all the other Cuda valances have the bulges for the bullets. Please advise, very interested.


Maybe I can do this after all.....   :grinyes:

It was a cuda valance but one that did not have exhust cutouts. They all have the bulges but the section where the exhaust cuts go is close to the same contour. You will have to work it but it is possible.
