70 Cuda
 

I figured I would start a new thread instead of adding to the old one. Were more into the project. So it will have a small block of some sort up to 440 ci w/ 600 plus hp on E 85 w/ N.O.S. Backed buy a brand new 6 speed out of a challenger srt 8. Modified XV suspension front and rear. 19 inch HRE's on 345/35/19 and 255/35/19, 15 inch 6 piston Bear's all the way around. Flush fit front and rear windows, scratch built fire wall and cowl. The rear will be mini tubbed w/ a Moser back braced 8 3/4 rear and a hole lot more mods. So stay tuned for pics. I promise !!!!!

P.S.
I need to figure out how to use my new camera. Can't figure out how to down size the pic to down load it to the computer.? Anyone PM me with help

sounds like it'll be a nice Cuda, I wish I had more time so I can start on my 71 Cuda

Mark, shoot me an e-mail... [email protected] I'll help you out, we've got to see that Cuda. :cheers:

Sounds ridiculous:thumbsup:

Mark thanks for the update! Going to be a cool ride!!

Got some more pics. Finally figured out how to format the pics to up load. Scott and everyone else thanks for the help last time.

So back to the project. Still taking more off the car. Removed a section of the rear frame rail for more tire clearance. Also test fit the new side panel and started to make a new lip for the inner fender well lip. Stay tunned.

More pics

very Nice :thumbsup:

lookin good:thumbsup:

I agree !

Hi, Nice build! I have also purcased a XV Level II front suspension. I understand that you'll need a different oilpan and modified headers when using a small block. I haven't got mine yet. Do you know if you need a center sump or a rear sump pan? Or maybe some custom job?

We havn't got to that point in the build. The owner brought the suspension to us so I'm not sure yet. Reguardless the car will have custom headers and oil pan. Were also going to set the motor back a little.

nice fab work so far . i love to se some more mopar people take off there skirts and cut one up.keep the dream alive.

now that's a great comment

Yeah !!!! Thank God this customer does'nt put is weenie between his legs. :lol:

Couple up dates.

Mark,

Looks like you are a great cardboard-cutter-outer!


All,

I saw this car last week at Mark's shop. It looks even better in person.

Eric here's a couple more pics of my professional fabricato-cardboard-cutter-outer technique's. If you measure write on the cardboard the metal comes out looking ok. Check it out !!!

You know cardboard is lighter then steel.

So when are we going to cut out those rails?

Nice work!

I have to say - damn you have a serious collection of vise-grips and clamps. That slat wall works pretty good for tool organization too. I'll have to keep that in mind.

Roger,

I told you to not let the cat out of the bag. Just don't tell anyone about my new welder that can weld the two together. Lincoln 250 Card-Board-O-Matic w/ pulse option.

I think these rails I'm cutting in-house. To simple !!

Man I thought I was the only one who had one of those machine. Roger how much heat do you used on the green tape wire?:willy: :willy:

Finally a couple more pics. Got the pass. frame rail,exhaust cut out, and front arm pocket done. All this cause the customer wanted side exhaust. So I had to figure out how to make this thing into a brick house and still let the exhaust out the side.

Very cool and Clean man :thumbsup: Did you try to talk him out of the side exhaust?

niiiiiice. Gonna be a killer Cuda

Mark - looking really nice.

Yes and no. He thought of doing it like the original. If you have ever seen that you should be killed on the spot. So I showed him an option and went with it. I think it will look tits when finished. If you've seen the new Lexus 460 sedan rear exhaust it will use that concept and idea. The tips will have the same contour as the body panel and sit flush. It'll be pretty trick !!

That is real nice work bench decoration in the back ground of the first pic. In 2 months I would have thought you might have gotten farther then that.

Come on buddy.

:D :D

It's called employees O' Great one. If you can't find good help you can't get stuff done. I finally found one and he started last week. THANK GOD !!!! So progress is going to be good.

Besides I like work bench decorations!!

Hell, I thought Mark was trying to make the Truck frame-clip fit into the Cuda!
