Damn, that was a good article on the suspensions, but I couldn't find my favorite, the coat hanger, duct tape and muffler clamp suspension. That was one used often on the way home from the race track years ago.

[QUOTE=MaxHarvard]I read it, i was really impressed... but i guess for me i like to see more "how-tos".. kinda like your "build a book" deal. Longer... not so much longer as in depth how to... i got the piece of milling the firewall, that was really cool to see. I'm not that great of a learner from reading stuff, i learn better by pictures and thorough examples.[/QUOTE

Great issue and great in-depth feature with the Cuda! That car deserves an entire issue or two! And a huge hats off to Johnny and crew for singing the praises of Chris Ito and his involvement in the project! It was really cool to see his picture and backstory in there along with a handful of the awesome designs he did to help make Bob's car what it is.
Good job, guys! This issue will stay on top of the stack for a long time!

My hat is off to everyone involved with the Cuda. Chris is an unsung hero. No one could have topped the work he did and his contribution to this project. He is a pleasure to work with and tries his heart out to please the builder and car owner. Thankfully none of us had egos that interfered with our ultimate goals. The few differences of opinion were worked out with everyone agreeing with the outcome. I don't think we were disappointed with the way anything came out but the tail lights..and they are being corrected..they weren't made like Chris designed them anyway. The numerous metal mods just flow so well no one realizes how much was done to this car until you park a stock one next to it. I hope this car gets Itoh and Alan the recognition they so justly deserve. It's very rewarding to see your fellow enthusiasts appreciate your efforts..It means a lot to all of us..

Thanks Bob! It's rewarding for us to have you drag that thing all over the country for us all to drool over! I was at SEMA standing there everyday with my mouth open and will do the same everywhere else I see it. It's crystal clear that You, Alan, and Chris put your heads together for many sleepless nights to build the ultimate total package!
