Amazing build up of this cuda,crazy.. Hi tech build at its best!
Thank you. I don't know how high-tech it is considering I kept it a unibody, but it was important to me that it remained a Mopar, not a shell on a frame/chassis. I'll call it new(er)-tech meets old(er)-tech!

Got a pic in the sun today. Mid 70's, gotta love Florida! It sits outside taunting me during the day. I'll get back on it this weekend.

Truly an amazing and awesome project! I keep trying to detect where the original cuda sheet metal is and where you have transformed it, it appears seemless. Really nice, clean and fine craftsmanship to say the least. Good Luck!
Thanks. That was what I wanted. I'll never do it again! Stupid amount of work for something no one will ever see or care, but I had to do it once to see what it would look like, and comments like yours make it all worth it. Thanks again.

I'm not a pro touring fan, but your car looks just right and is well executed. It's one of only a couple pro tour builds I've followed. Keep up the good work.
Thanks!
Their is a lot about "pro touring" cars I'm not a fan of either. Trying to blend handling, stability, comfort, and speed while still keeping the soul of the 'Cuda has been challenging. Still not 100% what the final product will be in these respects, but getting closer to finding out!

Been working on the Road Runner, but did put the doors on the 'Cuda today. Still tweaking adjustments, but pretty pleased with the effort on bodywork to get the gaps and panels fitting nice.

Haven't had much time to mess with either car, but did start on the spoiler and bumper. The spoiler will be a functional piece with an inner structure that will allow attachment of different wicker bills. I started with an AAR spoiler for a plug. Had to cut it into 6 pieces to get it to fit the trunk. This is in progress and doesn't show the body work to finish the spoiler. Jeff Munssey at Munssey Speed and Design will use my spoiler for a plug and then layup the piece with the aluminum inner structure and finish in carbon fiber. This can be made in fiberglass as well if anyone is interested. I'm going to have him use my bumper as a plug too. It's the only bumper that will actually fit the contours of a 'Cuda. Metal would be too expensive, so the bumpers will be available in carbon fiber or fiberglass if anyone wants one of those. I made these for my car, not to sell, but the molds will be made and pieces available if interested.
