She's done with the exception of a couple of small details.

Thanks JT!

I visioned this car when I bought it in 2006. I stuck to my plan.

Thanks buddy! I like your choice of words. I'll have my neighbor
do a clip that I can upload.

It's a rush!

Thanks Pat! I appreciate the comments.

Straight and true with a get out of my way rumble.


Looks great Tony! :thumb:

Thank you Gary!


Wow, that's really nice.

Thanks Cordes! It makes me 18 again!


Looks great :)

Thank you Brendhan!

It's going to be awfully hard to take the Shelby Z or my GTC VNT to
any more local cruise in's. Just kidding......I like them just as much,
but it's a different world pulling in with the 'Cuda.

I'm bringing mine home in the next few weeks. I sold my VNT ES Shadow to make room in the garage. Hurts... but it's going to a good friend and with the possibility I might (10%) buy it back if it's still sitting idle at his place.

My '67 will be black, too.... but the interior will be whatever color "cheap" is :thumb:

I kinda like gold... but most likely black.

Awsome work:thumb: I doubt I will ever *finish* a car, there is always something else on the list:o Four years seems short for that kind of showcar, nice being retired eh;)?

Thanks Alan!

I know they are never finished also....but close enough to say it's done.

Retirement does have it's advantages:D

Oh... she's lookin' like azz right now. Olive green w/slight metallic.... mismatched green fenders, no headlights (but have the rings in still) no interior, and original steelies and 273 2bbl.

She's a solid resto for sure... just not a proud mary at this starting point. Actually, you can see a pic of it in my gallery sitting in storage. It's a NC car... 99% rust-free. (one itsy spot on the 1/4)

Hey Tony, I bought a set of cop wheels years ago for my project, too.... minus dog dishes and add in the 440 part with the same scoop.

That would be quite the ride Steve. I have a friend in Indy with a 440
in his '67 notch. That thing hauls a$$.

You gotta go with the Hemi hood and scoop......the view from
the drivers seat is awesome.

I'll get a pic tomorrow.

Oh, I plan to use that scoop, too. '68 Hemi SS clone w/out the Hemi unfortunately :D

Just use a Comp XE 284 cam in the 440.......you will like it.

I couldn't have picked a better cam for my 360

Hey Tony.... I got mine home with me now! Got it last friday night after being in "dry" storage for about 7-8 years.

I say "dry" because it appears that it rusted some during those years.... two spots under the 1/4 have an 8" by 3" section of rot now.... The place is bone dry, but I believe it "sweats" in there from time to time. Boy, have i learned a LOT about car long term car storage this week alone. All is not lost, it just means I need to learn it all... to slowly restore mine....

Humidity may have had something to do with it also.

Keep us posted on the restoration.

If you have seen this 'Cuda it would have been in Columbus,
Indiana or Greenwood, Indiana at "The Suds"
