Here are some pictures of my 70 cuda 340. I've been working on it for about 4-5 years. It was a complete non-running car when I bought it, has been sitting since 1979.

Origianlly a 340 4-speed, 3.91 axle package, rally dash, hood pins, console, black interior, road lamps, etc. Have the original fender tag and broadcast sheet.

I am restoring the body and the interior to stock, add a few options (rear louvers and rear spoiler) and upgrading the drivetrain. It will have a small block stroker, W2 heads, Tremec 5-speed, plus suspension and brake upgrades. I keep it pretty much bolt on stuff, so could be returned to stock in the future.

It needed plenty of metal work, floor pans, 1 full quarter, 1 lower quarter, trunk floor, tail light panel, inner fenders, etc. I used all original mopar sheetmetal. The body has been dipped (Redi-Strip) and zinc phosphated. I did all the metal work myself, as well as the undercarriage painting. The exterior was done by a local painter, who does excellent work.

Here it is as purchased.

Exterior paint, just finished about two weeks ago, in the original color, FK5 burnt orange, done in base clear, wet sanded and polished. I'm very happy with the outcome. I'm very excited to finally begin assembly!
