Looks killer. Whats the final color going to be?

Black,with satin black billboards.

WOW!! Keep us posted. That is a sweet build.:thumbsup: :cheers:

DANG......:wow: Nice lookin build

Awesome another beautiful car you guys are building. I see about ten others I'd like to se build threads on. Sweet!

I'd love to have a Cuda! Sick project.

Haha, the first thought that came to my mind when I read "Here's a 72 Cuda" and saw the first picture was ".....allegedly".

Seriously though, this looks like it's going to be a lot of fun to watch, especially watching all the metalwork take shape. It's already looking fantastic. Plus, black with satin accents just looks so sinister. Is this going to be a quick cruiser or a rough and tumble ground pounder?

Are you going with the stage II front suspension?

black on black is going to be righteous ... count me in on watching this build too. I'm digging the wheels too.

This is so bad ass, even though I'm basically a chevy guy I love 70-74 Cudas.

Nice build. Do you have any pictures of the wheel tub work to fit the 345s? Specifically did you notch the frame and did you have to do any "stretching" to the outer wheel well? No doubt a mini tub or tub job, but I know the e-body outer wheel wells pinch down quite a bit. I'm building a Challenger and have been looking at my options to get it low with a large tire also.

Thanks, Wes

Beautiful car......fantastic work.

I'm building a 70 Cuda....you can see it in my links below....but it doesnt look like I have the same budget as your customer :)

I'd love to know your wheel specs..... size, BS etc etc

awesome work and a really beauty!!!!! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Awesome car!! Nice color combo and workmanship! :thumbsup:

Shane,
Thanks-so no notch and do you have any specifics on the "massaged" outer half. Big hammer work or an english wheel and nice curved sections?

Thanks! Wes

Keep us updated Shaneo :thumbsup:

That is going to be really cool cuda once done! Keep us posted! :thumbsup:

No notch in the rails as it is going to be a real world driver,rather than a super low profiler,we just rewoked the wheel house on the english wheel and plannishing hammer till we were happy with the clearance.

Shane.

Righteous! What an awesome ride this is going to be. Looking forward to more progress pictures and as many details as you can give.

Good job. I will be watching as well

love to se more people not afraid to do something besides restore a mopar. this looks to be a realy cool build.keep up the great work.:thumbsup:

looks great, I like your color choice also:thumbsup:

Been a while since I posted a update on this,as weve so busy with other projects trying to get ready for our show season.
Weve tightened all teh gaps up to the point were we are happy,we,ve fabbed up a front "mouth" and modded a 69 camaro front bumper to fit (yes I know been done before) next up is to finish the engine bay,radiator etc and then the brake system steering etc.
