I'm still not done with the interior install. I did the headliner but am going to have a local shop finish the rear corner that troubled me.... I've been enjoying it anyway. I had it out Monday since I was off, then I took it out again last night. I rolled up to a light with a Gorgeous 66 Mustang Fastback GT.... Stang: Nice car Me: You too Man Stang: What is it? Me: 72 Cuda He's hearing this.... idling Stang: What's under the hood? Me: 340 but it's a little warmed over..... then the light turned and I got in in just a little and the tires were rolling and I think I let off and grabbed second and the car was a little out of shape, I was stopped at the next light when he metered up...... Him: uh my 289 won't hang LOL

Brakes are important! Thats my plan with the Charger as well. Fronts are done. tranny and rear end Fluids all changed. Getting it ready. Get your car out and drive it......pull it back in during the winter and then restore things.
Of course My winters are a little longer than yours..Have fun at the show!!

I'm off today and decided to do some odds and ends tward the completion of my Cuda. Then I specifically used it to run by work because the fella's have been bugging me to drive it in. Everyone filed out to check it out. I will say that I am relatively sure that the stock 6.4 Charger can't take my Cuda in a street light brawl and thats before working out all the kinks/tuning Cruised dowwn one of my favorite roads and the rock station did not let me down.... it was a great day

I am trying to find the original owner of the Cuda. DMV gaurds this info tightly. So I am exploring some inventive avenues This car had remnants of the factory stripe in the door jamb and inner doors but it was not coded for it on the data tag. Since I've even seen a Cuda coded for V21 on it's build sheet but not on the fender tag, I suppose it could be a dealer add on, or factory. I'm hoping for a window sticker, and maybe a build sheet. The wheels are set in motion, now to go work on the car and wait to see what happens should know in a week or two
