ProTouring Orange Krate Cuda
Souds like you are going to have a great build there.
I also have a 65 Cuda, and am kinda doing the same thing, but no mini tub as I want to leave the folding rar seat working in the stock position. I have moved my springs in and will be running 275's 17's on the back. I have a 390hp 360 crate I will be using with the stock 4sp. And have up graded to wilwood discs all round.
Good luck and share lots of pics....
