Thought I would post up some pictures of our Hemi Cuda now that it is finally coming together, 5 year project up to this point.

Wow looks like you may have invested in more metal than I did and I didn't think that was possible!

Looks great and I'm sure you can't wait to turn over the hemi..... :working:

Ya it ended up being one of those projects that the further you get into it the worse it was. But after starting it where do you stop and say it isn't worth it  :eek7: might as well keep going.

If I would have known the car was in as bad shape as it was we would have never started it. But we bought it as a rolling shell that was in primer, work done by a body shop. Well I can't believe any shop would do the kinds of things that were done to that car, it was a real hack job. But it is nice to save it and know it isn't going to scrap.

I completely hear you, I had a somewhat similar experience and pushed through to the end.

That's commitment for you! Great job as I'm sure you will be proud of this build for quite awhile.

Ya it ended up being one of those projects that the further you get into it the worse it was. But after starting it where do you stop and say it isn't worth it  :eek7: might as well keep going.
