This car is reaching the point where, when it's done, seeing it (preferably in action) will be on par with a major celebrity sighting. Keep adding the awesomeness!

At one point I made the decision to stick with 315's on the front of my car as I'm not that competition oriented and 335's would have forced a lot of compromises on the inside or created visually obnoxious fender flaring.

These photos of 335's on the front of your Cuda make me question those decisions !
Looks so awesome.

Also, you have a few holes in your firewall you need to patch

This is looking downright MEAN! Nothing gets us riled up like the rough-looking freshly-caged phase of a racecar.

Thanks, "rough" is the operative word right now!

That is coming along nicely. Sub and tires look right at home in there.

Coming along nicely! Should be a beast when its done!

Thanks guys!

Few more of the cell structure, haven't welded it in yet.

Got my Mopar horder friend to give up a 'Cuda core support off a junk car. Just using the top piece. It locates the fenders and lets me mount up the stock latch, etc...

I built the jig on the front clip, before cutting it off, to be able to locate the core support and hinge location. I sold the clip complete, so couldn't hack any
pieces off it.

Yep, had to cut out the old cage and get access to weld in the new bars. I am keeping the stock firewall, so will go back and make new patch panels once I figure out where everything is fitting...

Thanks, not sure it will ever have celebrity status, but I think the older cars will always draw far more attention than the newer ones. Promise if you see it, it won't be at a car show, I will be beating on it!
