Coming Soon - Bit of a preview for some
Existing interior on 13-March-09. Going to head over to Year One on Monday to pick up some of the new interior. This weekend will be spent pulling out the old stuff. Have never used that POR-15 stuff so I am going to have to do a little research on it. Comments on it are welcome if many of you out there have used it. No serious bites so far so the next step will be pulling the engine and transmission out of it, cleaning off the firewall and getting her ready to send to my favorite paint shop in South Georgia and getting a crate of stuff together to ship off to our favorite powder coating member, Leanna the 68 CudaChick. Been debating about colors. White just isn't talking to me on this 69 and I don't know how many guys out there are in the market for a plain white grocery getter if I would leave it White. The original owner told me that the car has never been painted so the paint that is on it is what it rolled out of the factory with and for 40 years old it has held up very well. The paint is still shiny under the gas tank. BUT she does need some surface rust repaired. I have in mind a Q-5 Turquoise Blue with a Black side stripe. How does that Q-5 speak to everyone ?
I am watching costs on this Cuda a lot more than I have on my "B" bodies. Seems pretty easy to get upside down in one of these A bodies. Man this car is sure roomy inside. Park it next to the GTX or Charger and the difference in physical size outside is quite a bit but the interior sure isn't cramped.
