The Crusty Cuda: Whole lotta Shakin' (N96) Goin' on!

[A12pilot]

Another day of sanding, welding, throwing tools, getting welding slag in my shoe, performing the "What the Fffff#%&" native Super Dave pain dance, then spilling DP primer all over the place..... and voila!!

Ugh, well I must say, it's getting nice looking at a not-so- crusty anymore Crusty Cuda! Still a few minor rust holes to patch, then this weekend it'll be off the rotisserie, assembled, and paint stripping begun! All the bolt on parts will be dip gray on the inside so when assembled and painted, any exposed areas will show correct gray. Of course the fenders will be undercoated, but they still need to look nice!

And then after all that, a drive in the F-Car. So much freaking fun!

More to come!

Cheers

You are obviously having a Super Dee Duper Day! Enjoy the ride.

I recently told my 87 year-old Dad about getting the purple Cuda. He has always wanted a purple car but a wife and five kids got in the way over the seven decades since he got his drivers license. The closest he got to ordering a car in a color he liked was back in late '71 when he bought us a new 1972 Satellite 9-passenger wagon in FE5 Bright Red with a black racing stripe down the center of the hood, black interior, Rallye wheels, and a Mopar "Tuff-Grip" steering wheel. Mom would never let him get a purple car. When I told him about this and sent him some photos he said "I LOVE IT!".

So, thanks to Dave's ongoing efforts, we are making my Dad happy!
