I'm so excited...after 1-1/2 years in the restoration process, my '71 cuda is finally done. I've been a member here for a little while. I check the site out almost every day. Great stuff and great people! I just wanted to share.

Below is a pic of the car just after I got it home, but visit my website if you are interested in seeing more:

I've got lots of pics and a video on a mini site that I built to document the build and my story with this car -- if you want to check it out:

Thanks so much for the compliment! Happy New Year to you.

Great job to all involved! I like that you swapped out the billboard and interior to black. It matches the car much better. The devil is in the details, as the previous owner found out. It's expensive and time consuming to address them, and you have done so in spades. Beautiful car! How about a video of some wide open throttle, gear banging action?

You are so right about the details. That's the biggest difference between the car when I bought it vs what I turned it into. I'll be shooting more videos in the Spring after I get the engine broke in. Thanks for the kind words!

Beautiful car! Sassy Grass is the best color ever put on a Mopar...period!

Looks great, enjoy it!

Excellent work! I'm glad you went with the rear window louvers, just beautiful!

I had my reservations about buying and installing the rear window louvers, but I went with them for aesthetic balance -- more black to break up the green a little. I like them better than I thought I would. Thanks for the compliment.
