I like the second pic. But im always a fan of the ralley ones.

 

Thanks to all that have been following this build, put in manual steiring box this weekend and started doing brake lines

 

Well it has been awhile since I did any work on the old car, I am not a body man so I had a couple of body men stop by and give me a quote. The prices that these boys gave me blew me out of the water.Well glad to say I saved my mony and am now getting the body work done. THis is what I saw yeasterday.

 

Hey I like! It's coming along nice.

 

I like the second set f wheels. what is the bolt pattern?

 

Mikerp76 my A-body has a 4" bolt pattern drum brakes

 

The Cuda came home today and the color is BEAUTIFUL, I am very happy with the way it came out. The color is 2013 Viper blue

 

Well I have beeen keeping busy these past week ends with poloshing chrome and adding it to the car, I have the left side trunk and hood put together, here is the progress so far

 

Fantastic color for that body style!

 

Well for the past month I have been polishing chrome and putting it on, and last weekend a friend stopped by and we tore the old top apart and put on the frame work, picked up some LED lights and installed them for some brightness [I hope the extra dollers is worth it] Pics coming soon, no room in little garage to take desent picture

 

Here are the pics of the progress that I have made in the last few weeks. Thursday I shoveled the snow pile from in front of the door so I could push the car out to get pictures.

 

I pulled the gauge cluster out and did my thing to clean it up

 

After a month or so of not working on the old car I had her out in the yard and put the heater together and into the car and cut the carpeting

 

For thows of you who have been following my thread I have been on vacation and have moved. So while I was on vacation I did the interior and had the windshield installed

 

Looking Good..... Hope your starting to feel at home in the newer place....
I hate Moving !!!!!!!!!!!!
But the way...I'm the new Shizhead in town..haha
Love the car.....

 

its getting there being pretty solid ..

nice project =)

 

mot much has gotten done this summer. have been cruising around in the old car. but the trunk is done and now it is time to move onto the bottom side, like gas tank shocks and front brakes

 

Glad your running the wheel off that thing ..... WooooHoooo

 

A couple of weeks ago I installed the fuel tank and line, and for got my camera. This past weekend I started working on the front end, got the Kelsey Hayes disc brake on the right and next weekend I will be doing the left

 

Well this past weekend I replaced the upper ball joint on the left side, it was a chore, the car is pushed to that side of the garage so I have a path on the right to my work bench. That is the fun of building a car in a one car garage.

 

I noticed that I did not plan my time out to do the front end and waiting for the tie rod ends slowed the work down. But it is done and here it is

 

One step closer....

 

It has been awhile since I was here, but I picked up this 383 with 68000 miles on the clock and gave it an aerosol over hall. Now to add 4 barrel chrome valve covers and air cleaner for the dress up. Now to get pounding away at it again it is almost summer.

 

No even a timing Chain!!!!!!!!!!!!
Shame on you.....

 

Why would I want to do something like that, IT is like opening a can of worms, next it is cam, lifters and AC water pump.
My 62 I did the same thing to and it has been in the car for close to ten years, and I beet on that little stock 400 quite often and haven't had any meager break downs

 

Hahahahahahahahahahaha......

That's great news.... You have better luck than I do...

Would you mind picking up a Power Ball Ticket for me?

 

His luck is better than mine for sure Bob.... Remember the photos of my barracuda 400???? Will take a Power Ball ticket to fix it!!!!!

 

Great thread.....The car looks great...You did a very nice job...Keep the pictures coming...Like you said summer is almost hear cant wait to get the ole girl out of storage prison/garage...Very soon she needs to come out.. Ive got things that need to be done before the season starts....Bill

 

Oh Yaaa.... Ouch..... I'm Coming to help if I win....lol

 

Well last weekend was nice and sunny so I got the wife and daughter out to the garage to help push the car around so I can get the engine in the car, But with the cold weather it has been hard to get into that non-heated garage.
