Got the Cuda set up on display in the arena at Moparfest for this weekemd in New Hamburg Ontario.
Stunning Cuda Convertible !! One of the most"over the top " creations I've ever seen.
Attention to even the most minor details is absolutely mindblowing!!
Thanks Dave and AAndrews. It was great to finally meet some of the folks from this forum at Moparfest. Several other people stopped by and said they were looking at doing a similar transplant. Some didn't know about FABO, so I recommended they join because of the great help that is available here.I was there on the weekend, it looks even better in person. Nice to talk to you Jim.

I also started with a cardboard template, then I made one out of thin aluminum and after I was happy with the fit, I gave the aluminum model to a guy to make me one out of steel. That way I knew it would fit OK. I put some round holes on the bottom so I could get a ground connection on the frame rail for my relays and also to drain any water that entered the box from the front. My relays and fuse panel (and auto-reset circuit breakers for my headlights)are inside the air box as well (last photo)Jim,
It was great meeting you. Thanks for letting me take a look at the car. I've got a bunch of cardboard ready to build an intake box... thanks for showing me it.

I'd love to have that aluminum box to use as a template. Heck what's it cost for your guy to make another?
I just checked with him and he doesnt have the Al box. Sorry

Dang! We went through (actually went around!!) St Louis this AM.View attachment 1715095118 I hope you enjoy the trip. I saw you were going to do this and meant to pm you to see when you might go through St Louis. Would love to see that car in person.
A couple weeks ago I spotted these two on Rt 66 while on my drive home from work.
