Yeah Ned I'm suppose to be down there next weekend, excited to see the Cuda!!

I'm looking forward to following this thread. The 70 Cuda is the ultimate :bow:

Time for more updates!!
 

The new quartes are installed now...I elected to do a quarter skin rather than the full quarter to preserve as much of the original sheetmetal as possible. I just dont think the repop stuff has the rigth fit and crispness to the body lines etc. Chris spliced it all in using TIG and hammer/dolley, so the line should be seamless and not "ghost in" over time.

More updates
 

New rocker panels. I bought a repop (goodmark doesnt make them, its some other brand) and after Chris installed it, he didnt like the fit and body lines, so he took it off and made one himself to make sure everything fit perfect and had nice lines and seams.

Chris was also able to find another fender in much better shape than what I had for a reasonable price. Should save alot of time and labor as compared to fixing what we had already.

XV Motorsport SFC's getting ready to fit and tack in...Chris is gonna fit them and just tack them in for me while the car is on the chassis table. That way we can be sure its square and level. I'll finnish them up once I get it back and put it on the rotisserie. Should make welding the seams alot easier.

The trans getting mocked up. Mark Bowler (what a great guy) is building me a wicked 4L85e, and I plan on going with a Twist Paddle shifter. The trans is taking some tunnel work to get it to fit, but....gotta do what we gotta do :) Right now its just an empty mockup trans.... the pan is huge !!!! The pan doesnt hang too low, and still has clearence with the car fully dropped.
