    572 Hemi 70 Cuda Build......
    « on: June 27, 2014 - 11:30:38 AM »
    Now that the suspension is in .. brake lines and wiring laid..... I 'm on the wheel planning stage as the paint selection has been made (scheduled to the body shop in 6 weeks) side marker delete done..... mocked up the new AMD fenders and fitted the hood hinges...  Im thinking of the Rushforth wheels  Fuel or concepts cannot decide.. my initial plan was a matte black with poilshed lip but the full polished is growing on me.. They will be a 20 inch wheel that i have decided...

    Almost looks like Synergy Green as found on the (dare I say?) 2010-11 Camaro :poopoke: ... but of course it has to be Sassy Grass Green ... right?? :bigsmile:

    Thanks guys the color is actually going to be Stryker green 2014 Dodge Viper.... The  top will be black....  the stripe will be very close to that... a streamlined strobe is the idea going in to a hockey stick.... I MAY have HEMI on the end of the stick but not sure right now....

     ......... The rear valence was hacked and smoothed and will have Porsche style tips (looks cool) engine bay matte black with a Orange Hemi no chrome lots of anodize.. Im trying to build a "ALL Business" Cuda...The interior is a mixture of retro and a little modern

    I ll get more pics up soon Im just in the process of spraying polyurethane on the underbody... If there is interest in my build ill keep posting as it happens

    they are a hand made Porsche inspired (late model)   trust me they fit the car  I have been trying to figure out the tip thing for 4-5 months it is such an IMPORTANT part of this car but often overlooked imho the valence tip thing.. with yourself ,loiblcustoms1, and myself it keeps me going on this as you know these are tough slow builds :pullinghair:
