Hi all,
I am delighted to join the group! This is very different for me as I am a long-time Corvette owner, but a couple of weeks again, I took the plunge and purchased a 1971 Hemi 'Cuda clone.
The car has some history as it was a Car Craft magazine project car in 1998. It started out life as a ’71 383 Cuda, it was built in 1998 as a Hemi clone in collaboration with Car Craft, Year One, Performance Suspension, Dick Landy and Ultimate Rides, all nicely chronicled in 4 issues of Car Craft. While it is nice to have all the modifications documented, a number of changes (and deletions) have been made over the intervening 14 years. So, Don (my gearhead husband who has just conveniently finished a 4+ year build on his 1969 Vette) and I are starting to educate ourselves and assess, clean, repair and otherwise fix up our new baby.
I am looking forward to opening my 'Vette-centric horizons to the new world of E-body cars! Hello to everyone living in the San Jose, CA area. Hope to see you around!
Best,
Cathy
