I check the site out almost every day. Great stuff and great people! I just wanted to share. Below is a pic of the car just after I got it home, but visit my website if you are interested in seeing more: www.71cuda.net

I've got lots of pics and a video on a mini site that I built to document the build and my story with this car -- if you want to check it out: www.71cuda.net Thanks so much for the compliment! Happy New Year to you.

The devil is in the details, as the previous owner found out. It's expensive and time consuming to address them, and you have done so in spades. Beautiful car! How about a video of some wide open throttle, gear banging action? 1970 Plymouth 'Cuda #'s 440-6(block in storage)currently 493" 6 pack, Shaker, 5 speed Passon, 4.10's 1968 Plymouth Barracuda Convertible 408 Magnum EFI with 4 speed automatic overdrive, 3800 stall lock-up converter and 4.30's (closest thing to an automatic 5 speed going)

I had my reservations about buying and installing the rear window louvers, but I went with them for aesthetic balance -- more black to break up the green a little. I like them better than I thought I would. Thanks for the compliment.
