new cuda owner from ky
« on: December 31, 2012 - 10:24:24 PM »
hello everyone I just bought my cuda a couple of weeks ago.its a 74 with a 71 front clip.it has 528 hemi w 2 4s  and a 5 speed tremec.the color is snakeskin green from a viper w/aar gloss black hood.here is a link to some build pics that the original builder took .for whatever reason he didn't finish the build and sold it to the guy I bought it from.I'm smoothing the underside of the to get rid of the glass texture and powdercoating the bumper braces and hood hinges.future plans are to do a march pulley system,aluminum radiator,vintage air ,and 18" wheels .It needs the chrome polished or replaced to be show ready.let me know what ya'll think.this is my 3rd mopar ,my first mopar was an 03 thunder road hemi truck,and 2nd is a 04 a viper srt-10 ram. I thought my srt was fast until I drove the cuda, man it is scary fast with 610 h.p. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/e511mfo9wd6t8fq/5_yHuDeIf7
