1967 Cuda FB project

Man, you're sure not wasting any time on this project. I'm looking forward to the body mods. That Roadrunner hood is an interesting idea. What's your general plan for the car? Are you shooting for a road course look? - Or leaning more towards a drag car look? - A wild custom? - Or a subtly customized (looks like the factory could have done it) look?

Well, this is my plan. (We will see if it pans out or not.) A lot lower stance with wide tires. The shaved look similar to a newer car. No chrome. Molded in bumpers. Flush door handles. The 73-74 RR hood bulge. Dash mod. Window mod.
I guess what I am after is light weight with awesome cornering ability. After spending 10+ years working/driving Vipers on road courses across the country, I want an old school car to handle just about the same way. On the cheap. I have enough left over Viper parts to incorporate into this build to make that happen I think. If I can make this Cuda corner like the Viper does, I just might give up the Viper............ maybe........:twisted:
I really like the old Mopars. Grew up with them. Looking back at my past, trying to figure out how my buddies and I survived driving the way we did. Had a 69 Charger, 67 Satellite, wife still has 68 RR, numerous other Mopars. I would get in one, hammer it down the road and scare the **** outta myself when I tried to drive it like the Viper. Go park it back in the garage and get in the Viper and get my speed fix that way. Now I want to get my speed fix in an old school Mopar with out crappin my pants when I try to take a corner at 30 mph. Or stopping quick. lol
I really, really like engineering mods and making them work on cars. (Mopar cars!)
