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

[A12pilot]

Driver's side is pretty much aligned up. I think I need to move the door back 1/8th of an inch, but the body line matches up perfectly! Hood is lined up but running out of adjustment play in the direction I need it to go.

Passenger door needs work...it needs to rotate counter clockwise a tad to lower the rear and raise the front.

Mopars aren't really known for "quality" gaps and panel alignment, but Steve-O demands the best! Or, at least as best as I can get it before I just give up!

More to come.....

Cheers

You aint kidding there!

I remember when we did the yellow 71 hemicuda ragtop. I used NOS Cuda fenders and they were terrible. They both had major dip zones on the fender tops where they ran parallel to the hood. It almost looked like an AAR Cuda with a warped fiberglas hood, bulging in the middle, only it wasn't the hood that was bad - it was the fenders. And one of the NOS convertible quarters we used was 1/2" longer than the other. It had to be sectioned and rewelded back together to work.

I am simply amazed at the progress you are making.

Got any more land next door? I think I'm gonna retire and just move down there so we can open up a shop that only works on our own stuff.
