Have been meaning to post the restoration of our hemicuda for awhile so here goes.
Bought car as roller from one of the founders of NeHOA, he had quite an impressive collection.
Car before we started in 2006, only work done from 2006-Christmas 2008 was stripping the body down, blasting and priming, trunk floor and underseat pan. We had a lot of other things going on so the car sat until January 2009 when we started back on it, target was 2009 Carlisle................
This would not have been possible without the understanding of my wife, the help from members Pntastar69, DartVader69 and all the vendors/suppliers who worked with our schedule.

Pretty solid starting ground, seen a lot worse, though e-bodies do seem more rot prone, car had only 32,000 miles.

Pictures make it look easy Dave. 
Thanks Tom, but we just bought the Roger Gibson restoration videos, watched them, and, in little over an hour the car was done!!! 
Here are some more pics; Mark the stripe professor.
I can see years of wisdom at work here.

Just about done.....though missing those nipple lug nuts
Which were installed on the car, in the trailer, Saturday morning in the overflow Carlisle parking lot, at 4am. How do I know, he woke me up from a deep sleep in the bed of his pickemup truck.
Drop dead gorgeous Dave

Very nice job, it takes alot of hard work, blood sweat,determination and dead presidents to finish a car to show standards.

The wonderful Mrs. saw this and said "What about dead wives" in lieu of Presidents?
Thanks to all for the kind comments.
Thanks again,
Dave

Forgot to mention one important major contributor to the restoration of the cuda was my dad. Without the 30 plus years of apprenticing under him this would not have been possible. A shame he is not a member here as he is one of the most knowledgeable and talented individuals about the 66-70 mopars out there, but at 75 years he rather dislikes to sit at a computer.
Some members may have had him as a shop teacher, Mr. Kriebel, at either Upper Perk in the 60's or at Southern Lehigh from 1970 to 1989.
He is one of the most influential people in my life, excluding the misses of course.
AWESOME TRIBUTE TO YOUR DAD!!! You're a good son (and husband apparently!!)

Who tried to give me information on my cuda? Thanks for the call but the phone number was a no-go. Tried several different combination's, yet all came up as a dead phone #. Must be from moparts as this is the only site they can acces my name and contact information. If you are "Andy" who called please try again at the number for my business in my website, www.kriebeldesigns.comThanks, Dave

Wow...just wow. Unbelievably fantastic job you've done sir. I now have another favorite car. If I ever win the lottery I'm gonna buy Jerry J.'s purple '70 "Daytona" & make you an offer you can't refuse.  Oh how I love the mono themed cars'. Plus it's a girlymatic so I can drive it. I see you brushed the red on the rear drums, fantastic. So many restos go the fast route & just spray bomb them. Refreshing to see it done correctly for once. Will this car be at Carlisle this year? Someone please refresh my memory. The first Shaker cars off the line had body color bubble correct? Was it only certain colors that received body colored bubbles ? What month did they go with the silver colored bubble on all cars? TIA.

Just a quick update as the cuda received a 1st at Maple Grove this summer and it is heading back there for the NHRA nationals with free tickets in October. The Mrs. is looking forward to watching some Top-Fuel cars running 
Great looking car man.
