    Nice ride! That paint looks sweet!

    Welcome!

    So, is that an original red interior with a red body? ??

    Put some heat shield/sound dampening in today.  I didn't use any adhesive.. Just cleaned out the inside, cut, shaped/molded, and laid into place.  The carpet appears to fit somewhat well, but imagine the trimming will be a pain.

    Osan? Pohang?  Any RONs Wake Island or Atsugi while you were in the 'hood?
    I was a C130 load, loved hauling the MEUs, funny/polite/professional group.

    Love your idea for a ratrod too.

    I was in Pohang when I was in Korea... Camp Mujuk... The saying goes if you haven't been to Pohang South Korea - Shut the  :swear: up! lol

    Thanks RB, there seems to be quite a few military folks on here.  As it turns out Im in NC so storing in OKC is far from a reality for me.  :cheers: :cheers: :cheers:

    ev2 is a sweet color!

    What color is it painted now?

    It's cool that it has the longitudinal stripe!

    What color interior are you going with now? Looks like black?

    Honey, if you find any of those abundant hemi clones lying around and needing a home, well you just PM me.

    Its Orange now but looks almost red in some of the pics.  I don't know if the longitudinal stripe is different from the other years or not.  If you have any info on this, I'd appreciate it. I have been looking for hours to try to find some clarity on this. I may or may not put a stripe on it depending on what I find out.

    For interior, my carpet and dash are black but everything else is white to include headliner.  I will most likely just leave it like this for a while.  I only have my backseats re-covered at the moment. The fronts are currently black with the new white exterior boxed up.

    Lol Laurie, look on rkmotorsports in charlotte or just google Cuda, and you can get into a clone easy for 6 figures.  It was more of a joke than anything...  :bananasmi

    I'm content with using it as a garage ornament.
    Hud U came to the right place.  Welcome. Why have an elephant when u can have a steed (440) hauling that Kuda.
    Stick that elephant on an stand as conversation piece........Unless u are up to a challenge.

    Doing that many tours you seem to handle a challenge.
    Thank you for ur service......... be safe.
    The way months are flying by you will be under the hood tuning the 440.
