I finally purchased a 1970 'cuda - Page 3

Just an FYI: Does it come with the original stainless steel moldings for the grill? I mention that because while the reproduction grill and headlight buckets that they make today are a 10 out of 10 in terms of being perfect, the stainless outer surround moldings that come with them are a 1 out of 10 and don't even fit the grill and buckets.

I rec'd some pictures of the engine yesterday. In the back ground the cuda now has the grill & bumper....Joe

Sweet Cuda you have there. 440 six pack are quick and a lot of torque. When you stomp the gas pedal you can feel that six pack carburation really work. Good luck and love to see the finished product.

Congrats Joe! You will love the Cuda for sure. The look of the car from so many angles is epic. I love the fish scale rockers and the grill. I had a nice AAR that I sold this April and frankly regretted selling it. I will have another one and this time will be a four speed.

I guess over this weekend, the eng & trans have been installed. The guy is moving pretty quickly on the car...Joe

I rec'd more picture of the cuda yesterday. He's moving along at a pretty good pace. I'm getting excited. The car is only 52 miles from MCACN. I guess I'll take a little road trip while I'm there

..Joe

Is he building the whole car as part of the price, or enough for you to transport it ? Only 52 miles away sounds like a group field trip to ogle...

The car will be a done, running driver when he delivers it. I'm not sure how he would feel about a group of people showing up

I told Sheri I wouldn't build any more cars so this is working out great....Joe
