    Limelight 71 Cuda clone
    « on: December 13, 2010 - 03:24:32 PM »
    Finally have my car just about where Ive wanted it, and realize I havent posted pictures in here. Sharing these because I think it looks and drives great, and this time of year in S. Florida I can really enjoy it with the shows and cruise ins. These are some of my favorite shots.
    Thanks for everyones help and advice....so far :bigsmile:

    VERY, VERY NICE! I love the photos -- your car looks fantastic! I'm particularly fond of green '71 Cudas (as that is what I have too). Thanks for sharing!

    Thanks! My cuda is done (finally), but it's still at the restoration shop for fine tuning. I haven't seen the car since late November, but i hope to soon. I can't wait to bring her home!

    Tower shops?
    No, never heard of it, but I do sometimes take it to Bettys Burgers (fka Fuddruckers) on the first saturday of each month.
    Thats a great cruise in, and mine is not even close to being the nicest mopar there, much less nicest car. But it's one of my favorites :bigsmile:
    Usually have a few ford gt's, cobras, and cars of that "ilk", and a couple real nice classic challengers occasionally come. Its not unusual to see a few dozen 6 figure cars there.
    Of course, its not about the money, or the value. Theyre all cool.
    This is the time of year I look forward to here.

    I bet they have a lot of nice cars in lauderdale. Lots of $$$$ here in s. florida.
    Always amazes me.

    wish I could say I built it, but...I bought it already built pretty much as you see it 18 months ago.
    I knew I didnt have the patience, skill, tools, garage space, etc, so I just took the time to find a car built the way I wanted it.
    But I have added hundreds of hours cleaning, modding, upgrading certain things, and I think it really shows.
    Thanks for all your comments.
