    The looks havent changed since the last time I posted, but she runs and moves under her own power. Still need a radiator, wheels and tires, and a few misc bits here and there. Shes about another 2k out from hitting the road. Man I cant wait the open that 340 up.

     :2thumbs: Your cuda is looking great, I like the color too.  Your build sheet may be on top of your glove box assembly or under the drivers front bucket seat.   My sheets (had 2) were under the drivers front bucket and the rear seat.

    Wow, original owner of your 73fish? Thats amazing. My father owned a 74 red/white 360 cuda off the showroom, still kicks himself in the ass every time he sees my 73.

    I just ordered everything minus wheels and tires to complete the build. Im so torn right now between 15" rallyes and a 17 or 18" modern wheel......on the bright side I should meet my realistic projection of having the car ready to this spring.

    I like the 15" rallyes over the 17".  If you are going 17" I would choose Torque Thrust II's.  :2cents:

    I have never been a big fan of the big wheels, but that being said my boss just put a couple of sets of 17" Rallye's on his 2 RR convertibles and may have changed my mind. They look sweeeet!!  :ylsuper:
    They look almost stock until you really look at them.
    I may steal them for a trial fit on my AAR when it's time for tires.
    One thing to consider is that I have been told by people I consider sharp on this stuff that a brake upgrade may be in order with the bigger meats.  :2cents:

    "There's no such thing as putting a '70 AAR 'Cuda exactly where you want it. The 'Cuda isn't interested in such things, for they require finesse. Finesse asked the 'Cuda out to dinner once, but the 'Cuda stood it up to go drink beer under an overpass with her hot little sister. As far as this car is concerned, finesse can go stuff itself."

    I think im locked in on the 17" classic industries rallye wheels...theyre a bit more expensive than the TTs but another $250 extra on wheels isnt gonna be what blows the doors off the cuda budget.

    The aluminum Rallye wheels sold by Classic Industry is not the same as the one sold by Year One in Alan's picture. The steel wheels are the same.

    I just stumbled on your build.  I love it, great color.   :clapping:

    More inspiration to paint my own car...  did you shoot it in the garage?  Do you have any pictures of the process if that's what you did?

    Enjoy!
