This picture is from December last year whan I dropped my Cuda off w/Ken Mosier @The Finer Details. My Dad and I bought this car back in 1982 and I drove it daily my whole senior year of high School. In 1983 I went off to college and the car went into storage until out last December when I pulled it out to take to Ken.

They began by stripping the car down in January of this year and sent it off to be blasted in March. The motor is at the machine shop they use, and I'm told by Ken that I'll be getting a list of items needed for the car's reassembly. I've asked for pictures several times thoughout this year, and will post some once they arrive.

Some of you may remeber the car who have known me awhile, but it's a #s match, buildsheet, N96, "V" code 'Cuda. If I remember right, the mileage is aroung 46,000 when I dropped it off.

More to come...

Thanks
Tom Dillinger

For a car thats been sitting almost 30 years, there's alot that needs to be done. Paint is thin from the Texas sun, needs complete interior, dash pad is one of the worst I've seen. Motor, tranny, 8 3/4 all need gone through thoroughly...when you add it all up, your detail becomes a resto. But each his own..

Thanks
Tom
