To build or not to build (meaning sell)
My comments above weren't knocking the Cuda at all. I think it is a pretty decent car to start with nowadays....it ain't the 80's anymore! That being said, AMD discontinued a LOT of metal for A body Mopars. If you want a full drivers side quarter....you'd better order it first thing in the morning. They have no roof skins. No passenger quarters, no quarter skins for either side....but they do still list floor pans and trunk floors. The cost of the Gen III swap will be about the same for either the A or B body, with the exception of not having to use headers in the B body. I was swapping my 70 Duster to a 5.7 Hemi with a 545RFE automatic when I got side tracked on a camper restoration at the beach. Got it all fitting good and looking good.....and just fell out of love with it because I didn't like the idea of paying $2K for the harness and computer to make it run. I'm gonna sell all the Gen III stuff and stick a 340 and 4 speed in it like I planned to start with before I stumbled into the 6K mile Hemi....lol. Looks like you do awesome work, so please make a build thread for both the Bee and if you decide to keep it, the Cuda! :)
