But love the car, but i wouldnt take it on power tour with that steering!
It is amazing that you can tell all of this from a picture! The front end is Magnum Force tubular K member. You can discuss any of your issues with them. We have already tried and gotten nowhere... well, we do have about 100 hours in modifying, fitting, bracing, and re-doing the majority of it so far so that it "bolts in" to a challenger body. We have had nothing but problems with this front end. Everything is currently in mock up phase. We still planned to go through the rest of the suspension and dialing everything else in so "it can be driven on power tour". But hey, thanks for pointing that out!

The magnumforce stuff is really drag oriented.

Alterkion is a beefier unit.

WOW !!

Were using a XV set up on the Cuda. Not the best looking unit (needed a couple mods) but at least they base there lowers off of a vette. After looking at those pics I feel so much better with the XV (atleast alittle more confident) It sucks when these kits are so expensive and then you have to put ALOT of hours into them fixen and fudgen to get them right. The only one loosen is the customer. Just my two and 1/2 cents

How about adding some progress pics on Eddie's Cuda on the post you have for it. He showed me the pics on this site, but he said more progess had been done. I've been needling him to take it out to Willow Springs for the Mopar Track day when it's done.

It's definitely going to end up in a Magazine spread, but would be cool to see a feature with it on an actual track.

I don't know if this is a stupid question.
I was always wondering with the hood like that with it being open going down & into the air induction.
Does it get water down in there?
I thought about doing something like that before on a Nova. But wasn't sure about water.

Thanks
Rob
