alan,

I think my car will be pretty damn good when it is done.






I'm sure it will....
I was only trying to help by pointing out an obivious error in assembly...

It's just as important in any restoration to have a correct, safe operable car as well as a nice looking car in my opinion.

Looking nice. If I were staying in the area, I'd certainly consider you all for my '70 Bee. I was quoted $30k for a paint job from a shop a few years ago. I guess they wanted me to walk away because that's what I did. I've since learned how to do much of that work myself. I figured if I f'ed it up twice I'd still come out ahead.

If you need a good machine shop, a guy that's not afraid to touch a thing, I know a great guy over in Norcross.

And we do appreciate the help.

I'm pretty sure we would have caught that when it was time to install the K member and hook things up but it's much easier to fix it now. And it was the first thing we did this morning.

All in all it will take us about 100 man hours to get it back together. We would have it back to the customer in two to three weeks but the transmission will hold us up about a week. It won't be back from the builder that the customer sent it to until about week three.





Shouldn't this car be finished now?

Where's the updated progress pictures? Come on Tim, put down the wrenchs and take some pictures

Alan,

I am waiting for my transmission to shipped to Tim. I think they are done with everything else that is why there have been no pics. Stay patient everyone, I am looking forward to the final assembly just as much as you are.

Yes, we had hoped it would be done by now but honestly, we haven't done too much on it since the last posting.

The owner has done some stellar work on components he has resored himself which unfortunately had to be shipped via freight to us and that has taken some time. Some of the bigger components just arrived last week.

We are still waiting for the transmission and a few odds and ends. When everything is here, we'll jump back in and Get-R-Done.

Before you ask, yes there were things that could have been reinstalled but I'm sure you all know that it can be frustrating to start and stop and start and stop, etc.......

You are all going to love this baby when it's done!!! Frankly, like most of the cars we do, I wish we could keep it for ourselves.

I don't know about the rest of the guys in the business but, I have some pretty cool cars myself and they never seem to get worked on.

i hate to keep annoying everyone with my recommendations for people to use for component restoration but plumbeeper.com restored my steering wheel and did an excellent job.

I do not get annoyed with your posts, keep them coming. Can not wait to see more progress pictures of the restoration. You should post some pictures of the services you have had done in another thread, John.

Anybody see the 12 per hour ad in MCG recently? Advertised they would do work on I think 62-65 stuff for that rate.

I figure if people are puzzled by this company's pricing, that will really get out the boo birds.


I want my fair share

Ladies & Gentlemen, We are back on track with my Cuda now. I am sure Tim will post some pictures of the work on the underside soon. We had a little delay with the transmission for the past 2 weeks or more. There was some light work that had to be done on the transmission and then it was detailed correctly. the big hold up was the parts that were at the plater and there slow turnaround on phosphate type plating. Other than that, it came out great. American Performance Automotive (farmville, va) did the transmission and Frank Badalson (richmond, va) did the extremely meticulous detailing and assembly. Great Job guys!!!!!
Off the topic, Happy Holidays to all!

We got a little bit done last week. Santa slowed us down but we're getting back up to speed.

Looks like it coming together nicely,....BTW, did Frank do an alternator for you?
