3Twos posted pics of my 71 Cuda'in the General section. Did 90+% of the work my self- only took 3 years, and nearly 3,000 hours. Check it out if you want- I'm an idiot with a computer- otherwise I would have posted progress pics here- Some things that I did-

Koffel built hemi
Switched from an auto to a 5-speed
Hydraulic clutch- Spec stage3 clutch
Aluminum radiator W/electric fans
A/C
Baer 4 wheel disks
Tied the frame
Front 1 1/8" Sway, 3/4 rear sway
Firm Feel 1" torsion bars
Hotchkiss tubular upper a-arms
Firm Feel stage 3 box
Poly graphite bushings
B-Body Dana 60 3.55 gears, moved springs
TTI 3" exhaust off manifolds w/Dynomax muffs
Custom Leather and walnut console
BMW M series Conv. seats full power working
Tunes with amp, sub, Infinity Kappa speakers in tray and dash
White faced gauges, added 3 where radio was
MAD electrical upgrades
H1 H4 headlights on relays- road lamps too
Boyd Coddington Junk Yard dog rims- I painted them black as that was not available
Nitto 555's 245/45/17 in front, 295/45/18's in rear
I frenched in a LED 3rd brake light in the bottom of the Gull Wing- but you can't tell from these pics-

I'm sure there is things I've missed- just a quick list. It is a blast to drive! Handles, stops, and goes like a raped ape!

Let me know what you think- good or bad-

Minnasota lets you get away with a lot more window tint than Iowa does that's for sure. The car is looking great. I like the e-brake handle in that spot. I'm undesided on the wheels. The size looks great, it's the style that I'm unsure about. They don't look bad, it's just I might have chosen something different. Just personal preferance. Nice looking ride!!!

The tint is not legal here either- rolling the dice a bit. What chapped my hide was that I checked with a couple cops I know to find out what is legal- and then went to the parts store to get some. They could not even order me tint that is legal in MN- so I put the lightest tint on that I could get. What a load of crap-

After 5 years I'M BACK! The 426 in my 71 Cuda' has been a royal pain. So I bought a HellCrate and out with the old- in with the new!!! I'm not sure how many have been done here- but I'd sure like to learn from others mistakes...
