    Very nice.

    One point, though, Cuda's technically didn't come with "Six Packs." They came with "Six Barrels."  ;-)

    This guy has all the e-body variations of the six "pack" decals...

    Very Nice.
    I have always preferred the Six Pack Moniker even though it isn't technically correct for a Plymouth.  It just sounds cooler IMHO.

    Nice!  :thumbsup:

    Before I said, "Cool"....now I say, "Wow"!  Billboards make it look wicked neato, the Six Pack (I like the ring of that too!) says, "Don't mess with me!"

    Thanks for all the complements guys. I was really was torn about the billboard decal but felt that it needed something. Since it is a 71 why not? I am happy with it on the car and it makes it look that much better. I did not know that Plymouth had the 6 bbl and Dodge had the 6 pac decal. It makes since to me now.... :dupe:
    The 6 BARREL lid needs repainted but I'm not sure if I should do it because the part number and made in Canada letters are in such good shape..
    Now just need to put on my new door handles and find a nice drivers side chrome rallye mirror..It never stops. :cooldancing:

    If you have a 71 Cuda, I can see you wanting to go with billboard stripes. That is a one year only thing, and oh so different than any other stripe out there.   :thumbsup:

    Agree with the comments so far, super nice changes.  One question, have you considered the 71 Go Wing?  Since you're picking the best of what was available for 71, a black wing would look bad @$$ with those billboards.
