I finally got a cuda back! - 08/03/11 03:33 AM

A few years ago I sold my cuda racecar. I was over having a full tilt racecar. I wanted something with roll up windows stock interior and hood and trunk on hinges. After going through a few racecars I finally got a cuda that is just that.

The plan is to keep it looking stock. I am going to put a 9" in it mainly because I have a nasty MW aluminum center section in the shop. Suspension will get cal-tracs and split monos. Interior is going to maintain as stock as possible except for a cage, ppp shifter, racepak dash, switch panel, and of course a sweet sound system. I can't decide on the engine yet. I might keep it slower running mid 11s and slow it to 12.0s at times so I can run both pro and sportsman. Or I may just throw a 451 in it and get after it.

All in all I am stoked to get a cuda back and I cannot wait to start working on it. It's going to be bad to the bone when I am done with it!

here are some pics. The before. I will post progress pics as I go.
