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.

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 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...

Your car looks great , don’t take this the wrong way but a girl I knew in high school had exactly the same car ( she was a pretty cool girl) .it’s probably in my yearbook. Her and I got hotrod of the year award senior year . I had a 69 bird convertible. It’s cool to see that car in that color again brings back memories. I’m pretty sure her dad built and gave her the car he was a big mopar guy.
Jeffrey Beals who (had a 300f w a B1 motor that ran low 9s iirc in the late 80s) was in my town owned memory motors IDK if anyone knew of him on here. but he had some really nice REAL HEMI cars. My Dad, him Bob gaudreau all hung out together my dad had a 56 D500-1 convertible in high school. Bob gaudreau had a few Pontiac race cars one for Stephen. Pontiac one for Paul dodge pontiac , and a few mopars sponsored by dealers. So anyway it was a pretty big gear head town that’s why girls had bad ass cars like that in high school too. Great car you have there. Is it gonna be a driver for you?
