    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:
