67 Cuda O/SA

David Lee · 08-10-2017, 07:17 PM

I started the idea of this cuda to be built the least expensively, that has gone completely out the window. Its now a project to build the best car I can. Going to use the best parts and do it right the first time. Right now I am gathering parts here and there, asking a ton of questions and still hand blocking the sheet metal completely removing all of the factory and later paint jobs, and so far I have found four.

Here is my progress so far

That looks like a very nice shell your starting with. I wish you the best and I like the path you have set. To build the best car you can.

Neat car David. I hope that you have lots of fun and success with it!

Looks like a good time to open up the fenderwells a bit, particularly on the front edge so you can get a 30" tall slick under there. I dropped off some 302 heads at a local machine shop that I bought from Terry Dye last week when I was in Detroit. Just a clean up and Magnaflux to check for cracks. That's all I can afford after making the trip. I also bought some Centerline front wheels with the Mopar only 5 on 4" BC.

I may do that, but i need to get the right axles to where to open up the wheel wells. Once its all in primer, its going to be a front to back progression.
