My Bare Bones 71 Cuda Convert Build

[CudamanTom]

I was bidding on it one of the times it was on ebay & I really liked it but I had 2 cars already at the time and I was also 3000 miles away. I later found out a friend of mine & member on here was bidding on it as well.

I think I remember you mentioning that or something last year. And shipping can be a bear that far of distance.

Ken, I have thought of red a couple times. My mind isn't stuck on one color just yet. Looking at pics online to see what looks best and the different options out there.

Seeing as how it is a 71, have you thought of doing the all Black interior and just having the seats in the Bright Factory Orange vinyl that was available for that year at all ? It would be a very nice combo too.

Hummmm. Ken, you have something there.
Being I love Halloween the orange would be a good accent to the black. Maybe marshal a Halloween parade or two 
But seriously, that's something to think about.
Now the other side.
My son goes to OU (Oklahoma University) which is crimson and cream. BUT OSU (Oklahoma State University) and is a big bedlam rival thing, is orange and black. This also effects my friends and neighbors on both sides.
I would have to walk on rice paper very quietly to make this decision.

That would be anawesome colour combo
And i have your solution to the problem, for the guys that are for the Orange and Black, leave the roof down, the guys that are against the colours, leave the roof up. Problem solved
One more suggestion, would to also fit Flat Black Billboards to it, what a combo Hubba Hubba.

Hey Kenny - always great to see your input and support for mopar. Sounds like you're coming for a "walk about" here this year. Hope to catch you at Carlisle.

Don't have any with the top down, but I do have this.

It is looking promising for another trip Judy, we will have to catch up again at Carlisle for sure. Thank you for posting that back seat picture too

Yes just like that but with Flat Black billboards and go for the 17 inch Rallye wheels from Yearone
Isn't this one of Sylvains cars

[anlauto]

Yes that car was built by Sylvain...He has since sold it years ago

[CudamanTom]

Last night I notice majority of the current wiring is brittle or has been hacked (all of it has been removed and in a box).
I already have the engine compartment wiring and the dash wiring looks okay but am looking for any other wiring harnesses for the rest of the car.
Used and in good shape is good with me or new.
If you have any spares laying around, please let me know.

I did post this in the Part Wanted section.

Thanks in advance.
Tom
