I love Cuda's as well. But you are exactly right, they are very expensive to build. But, when built right, it is a hell of a sight to see. Good luck and I'm watching this one.

I believe the Duster Chassis was from SW.

In my opinion the Cudas and Mopars in general are the only way to go ! I have alot of big ideas for this car and I cant wait to share them with you guys.

I’m not quite sure on which motor combination I’m going to go with yet, thought of everything from big block hemi, small block, twin turbo, dodge r5 engine, etc. etc. The one thing I know is it will be a mopar engine and more then likely depend on my budget at the time.

I’m looking for something that’s going to be 600hp-700hp and similar in torque for the street. Nothing too crazy but, for me its all about being snapped back in your seat, not necessarily how fast you can go.

Revmopar- There are alot of helpful threads on these forums you can search and members that will send you the pickup points!

Stay tuned!

Very nice work! I've seen a few Camaros takin down that far now that they aftermarket metal is available but it's pretty impressive to see a Cuda getting such a rebuild

Rebuilding the car from scratch should be a great learning experience and I have alot of great ideas for the car. Should be interesting!

Ron you are correct all Mopar but the gm suspension. Its just unfortunate that anything like a viper suspension is so exspensive. Control arms for those cars on ebay are super pricey. I was able to save alot of money by finding used parts, sand blasting them, replacing them with all upgraded parts and having them powdercoated for a steal.

Gant - I've already told you I'm diggin' your project and your work. I was just teasing, cause the 'Mopar's the only way to go comment sounded funny w the control arms spindles.' Whatever you build is cool w me, so keep goin Bro!
