Voracious Cuda "UNDER CONSTRUCTION" - Lateral-g Forums

Hey everyone. I have been a member for a few months. Since I joined our customers have told us we need to post some of our projects on here. So we decided introduce one of our projects. A Pro-touring Cuda build that is currently UNDER CONSTRUCTION.

We started out with a typical rotted out 1970 Barracuda Convertible. After consulting with the customer on what he desired out of the build. We decided to go the Pro-Touring route. Building the car around a 345/30/19 in the rear and a 265/35/18 in front. We consulted with Art Morrison and purchased a Max-G Chassis. We then purchased a 6.1 Liter SRT8 Hemi with a automatic transmission for starters. Due to the severity of the current body condition we also purchased all new body panels from AMD.

We decided to go the none traditional way and scraped the unitized style of the original car and fabricated our own body mounts/bushings and sub-rails. From there all the inner structure was change in someway to strengthen the car, while keeping styling and functionality in mind. While fabricating the car the outer sheet metal has been altered to make the car cleaner and smoother but not taking away the original style of the car. Every panel on the car has been modified in someway shape or form. Please take a look and give us some feed back on our progress. For detailed build pictures go to our web site www.gbrestorations.com Keep a look out for our other current projects and posts on Lateral-g.com.

I just went through the first 977 fotos

. It looks amazing! I've never seen a project that took on such an approach. Fantastic metal skills and attention to detail! Can imagine that it will be hard to let her go when its done.

Oh yeah, the 'current' fotos are the the same as the older ones just in reverse order. What am I missing

Thanks everyone for all of the comments and positive feedback. "V8LIVEN"thanks for taking a look at the pictures on our site. Ya there is alot of pictures on there. The reason we set up pictures on the site that way were to make it easier for the customers to see updated progess on there projects. Rather then scrolling through all of the 900 pictures. We are currently looking into a newer easier way to break up pictures. But yet again thanks for the feedback. Here are a few highlighted pictures of the project from the begining. More updates and pictures to follow.

Here are some more updated pictures to our cuda build. In these you can see us starting to attach some of our new AMD body pannels. Also we shaved the rear marker lights and our tires came in. More updates to be added soon.

Hey everyone here are a few more pictures of the car. We wound up fabricating our own rear wheel wells and fabricated some of the trunk supports. We also got our new oil pan in and got it all ready to set it up for mock up. Take a look and give us some feedback.
