The Cuda that Cris is referring to is mine!! We've been emailing back and forth the last couple of days and if it all works out I'm taking the car down there in mid-Oct

I was extremely happy with all the work Tim Bruning did on my car but he's just got too much on his plate with working at SAR, side projects, his own projects and family. Getting my car back into his shop and having it make reasonable progress just wasn't going to happen. No hard feelings on my part or his.... Just wasn't going to happen

One of the reasons I wanted to work with Cris is his ability and desire to design and prototype new parts.... The mopar market is small so we don't have a ton of companies coming out with new stuff. It would be awesome to get some new stuff.... Billet hood hinges spring to mind

So let's send him some more mopars!!!!

Congrats Ned! But do be careful what you wish for - Cris is an idea factory whose vision become reality... Hopefully he'll park your jalopy right next to mine...

Ned- We are hoping we can compliment some of our work with what Tim did on your car.. Tim was doing a great job..

I am sure we will do a few custom pcs for you.. Thank you for the confidence on working on your Cuda..

Is that a cross-bar support which will go between the down bars with an opening for an LS air intake? (I have no idea what the real name for that item would be. ) If so, interesting..
