My 67 Cuda Project Begins!
well, here it is, not much right now, but, this is the first pic i took of it in the garage once the shop was finished. ill take some more pictures, but this will give you an idea of what im working with...
some updates are that i have cleaned all the junk from around the car, and gotten most of the older parts back together in the same area, taken out the 20+ year old batteries out of the trunk, and just been looking it over. the interior is prefect still, nothing needs to be done to it, just some cleaning and to glue the carpets back in maybe. the trunk needs some work, where the batteries acid leaked out, it has started to do its work on the sheet metal, nothing some neutralizer and flat black spray paint cant fix, and then i just need to mount the new fuel cell in place. ill get pics before and after of this. chassis, everything is fine, just needs to be cleaned and went over, i need to nut and bolt the entire car, and just check and re-check all nuts and bolts, and make sure everything is nice and tight. also i need to find the brake calipers which are either at my dads old work, or buried in the garage somewhere. it also needs a new set of slicks, and skinnies, so add tires to the list. now, where the real work is needed...the engine/ engine bay/ wiring...i need to get the block and heads back from the machine shop that they have been at for 20 years or so, or atleast try, clean up our pistons, and clean and maybe paint the rods up, they have some surface rust. either get a new crank, or try and fix our completely rusted up crank. get all new hardware and that stuff. and work on getting all the right wires wired up to the right things.
all in all, it doesnt need much, and my target date to have it done is the next mopar show, which is october 27, 2008. shouldnt be too hard.
well here is the one pic i have of it pretty much how it sits now. ill take updated pictures as i go along and get things done.
i would subscribe if i was you
here we go!
