Man, I like Cuda's and your old one, but I have a real soft spot for 70 Challengers...N0t so much for 71 years on up but the 70 Model is about as fine as you can get...
What motor combo do you plan to go with....
For the guys thats out of the loop, give us a quick rundown on some of the rules involved with building a stock eliminator. Engine mods etc...

Good luck stock elim racing!! Same BS there as SS/AH. If you are on the west coast, easy guru's are Steve Wann and Don Little. Big block or small.

Chris,
Hope it meets your expectations!! Can't help but feel I missed out on an opportunity...Really liked your Cuda a bunch. I have a 70 R/T Challenger in the back yard, Orange with 383. Didn't have a clue you were going in that direction!! Funny, I like Cudas way more than Challengers, but always seem to end up with Challys!!
My brother and I have spent 15 years running Super classes, while eying all the stockers, saying...someday...!!
He's landed a nice 65 Valiant Conv. and we are gathering parts for a group effort right now.
So...what are you thinking 383?? 440 4bbl, or Six Pack? Hemi??

Oh man! I would have to loved to own a real R/T. But I am going to make mine a R/T clone and do a 440 4bbl. I'm going to run the 440 I have out of my cuda and get the car dialed in while im building the stocker engine. The stocker is going to cost a little more then my lowly bracket engine i suppose lol.

 I like Barracudas and your old one was cherry! Good luck on your new endeavor. You will give me someone else to follow online or in Nat Dragster!  Don
