1967 Cuda FB project

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!)

I'm liking the concept. There are so many different directions to take these projects.

I remember awhile back someone had a post about sidepipes. I was never a big fan of them but I liked the side dumps like they ran on the AARs, TAs and other Trans-Am racing cars from 'back in the day.'

I came across a few sketches of modified Barracuda designs online. Normally I would shy away from the flared look on this body style but the widened stance on a car that is lowered works with a 'road race' theme. Maybe the one with a molded bumper will help with your design planning.
