Sweet, welcome.  Do you still have the 318?  did/does it still have all the AC equipment on it?

Looking good! Must be nice to have a car that isn't more of a lace curtain than a car. I'm just envious; enjoy!  :thumbsup:

Thanks for the updated pictures
The Cuda is coming along.  I see that you're in the body work stage of the project.  On a recent thread here  the body work stage was voted everyone's favorite part of the project

Oh, and nice collection of engines!
- The Hemi, is it a Gen 1 or Gen 2?  :clueless:
-- No, I can't tell just by looking at it

Looking forward to watching the Cuda progress  :cheers:
