    We found lots of surprises when we stripped our car too. I think that's to be expected.  Would love to see the in progress pics to see what you're up against.

    Welcome back!

    Hey ROC,  :thumbs:  Nice Cuda, is that an original survivor? From the pics it looks pretty darn nice already! Post often, like to see pics of progress and how you do things.

    It started life as a 1973 Barracuda -w- 318ci, 904, 2.76 single rear, limelight green -w- green interior and green vinyl top. About 20 years ago I changed it to a 340ci, 727, 3.55 posi, and body as you see in the picture. 16 years ago I sold the car to buy a house. 5 months ago my wife bought it back for me. After 14 years of storage in the woods, its a little rough! Quarter panels and trunk are toast. So far the rest seems to be minor welding work. Interior is gutted, missing 1 front seat, luckily the rest is there, just up rooted. Thanks for asking.

    Wow, what a cool wife!
    That's great that you were able to get it back, too bad the other guy didn't respect it as much as he should have.
    Oh well, it's a great way to make it like you always wanted.

     :iagree:  Yip, me too. I thought my car wasn't bad on first glimpes, but there were a few problems, nothing major, rear window rot between the vinly roof and the beginning of the trunk, and a little near the front guards.

    Welcome back mate.  ;)

    Well, I had located the car and planned to go and see if I could buy it back on Saturday. Since I work second shift I couldn't get there any sooner. Now my wife being loaded with this information, got a hold of her cousin and went to see if they could get the car sooner. I was in the dark the entire time. This is the good part, Friday was our 16 year anniversary. Friday night when I got off work, I pulled in the driveway and there was my car and my wife sitting on the hood. Needless to say my jaw dropped. I'll never forget what she did for me! That was about 5 monthes ago.

    That's a great story, last time my wife was on the hood, it was to get up in the attic without moving the car!  Needless to say, she cracked my fiberglass hood!

    Good luck with the project!
