This is an bronze cuda that I picked up a while back and the paint was a little dull so I gave the roof a quick 1500 grit, then 3000 foam, then buffed out with rough compound and I still need to hit it with the finish compound. The car should look pretty decent for old paint.

Any one have a nos 340 white billboard stripe? I'd like to find an original stripe for this car.

If that red Bee gets in the way you can send it up my way. Very nice paint on the car.

Lol, that's my brothers very first car. Got when he was 15 years old. He's now 37 so it's been around for a while.

This cuda buffed out very nice as well. One of these days I'm going to make a black on black challenger t/a clone with factory sunroof. I already have the sunroof assembly for it.

Nice, I'd be afraid to take that shiny black any where. What's the story on the green 68 beside it?
