    Also new to the e-bodies
    « on: October 27, 2010 - 08:38:04 AM »
    Hello,

    thought I should give a short presentation of myself as I hope I will be spending some time here.

    My name is Per and I live in Sweden. I got bitten by the Mopar bug not that long ago, but it really struck deep.

    The hope in the first sentence comes from the hope of ending up with a real BS Cuda, 70 or 71 doesn't really matter. They are both beautiful cars, each with its own style.. The dream is to end up with, let's be realistic, a hemi cuda clone.

    Currently have a real 68 R/T Charger in very good condition that I hope to sell to buy a nice Cuda.

    I hope to get some good advice from you guys as to where to find a nice Cuda when the time comes and perhaps to warn me of any bad deals that could pop up during the search.

    Thank you!

    Thank you guys!

    Yes I saw that Per from Sweden, currently in Belgium, was on this board with his Cuda.

    Yes I hope I find something to replace my Charger.

    Thanks for the warm welcome!

    Certainly!

    I made a custom dash which I think looks good. But what I was after was functioning gauges. And that they are. I had to make a custom 'hole' for the high beam indicator, so I made it look exactly like the turn signal indicator holes.

    Why don't images do justice to these cars?

    WOW!  You do great work.  Yeah, the pics are a little dark but the car looks fantastic.
    Very original on the outside with some mild updates.  Dash looks good too.
    Nice touch with the LED lights on the rear.   Whoever buys your Charger will be one lucky dude!
    Good luck with your Cuda hunt.

    Thank you for those comments! I realised that I don't have that many pictures of it and the ones I have are a little to dark. I blame my camera, with flash it gets to bright and without, well, you see the results... Will have to take alot more if I still have it next driving season.
