Hey Dutch,
I have been following your posts for some time now. It is really great when someone like you, that it has taken years for the restoration, gets your car on the road. Your priority in building your car has always seemed to be, do what is right, not what will get the project done the quickest. I think that we can all agree that it was worth it. Your eye for detail and passion for this hobby is second to none. Your car looks absolutely awesome! Good on you.

thank you TinCuda. I`m glad you like it. When I was about 13, I started developing the wish to build /restore a cool car from the ground up. I remember getting ready to buy a Porsche 356 at that time, but it was sold a day or 2 before I could get my hands on it.... luckily. I`m sure working on that car would have turned into a disaster.
...but, the itch never went away, and here were are ,30yrs later with a driving Cuda in the garage. It`s still a long way from being finished, and I still have a long list of stuff that needs to be taken care of before I can really enjoy driving it. I am not a mechanic nor a body guy, but I did have a dream. Looking back actually makes me want to rip it all apart and start all over again. My wife.... well, let`s say she doesn`t understand ...
, but I learned so much during the project, I could make it a whole lot better next time. Physical and financial condition will make sure I won`t do anything stupid though
Seeing people , and especially the little guys, enjoy the car and wanting to be photographed with it, makes it all worth it imo.
This site and its members made me pull through more than once, a big thank you for that
