    Carvana question

    Hey guys and gals I am thinking about trading my jeep in on a pickemup. I gave info to Carvana and checked out some deals. They seem pretty fair and have some what would appear to be good deals. Anyone use them or know anything about them? Thanks for any responses. Pike

    What to do about my 68 Cuda vert project?

    Hello all. I have a 68 Cuda vert project I am having trouble with. It is stripped down to the shell pretty much and I have all the parts, bagged tagged and scattered about. I am a little over my head as it needs some work underneath, not a lot I don't think. Also the 1/4's need a little work. I...

    I have a 68 Cuda vert that I want to put on a rotisserie. It is all stripped including susp. etc. If I use the bumper mounting points will I be close to the center for weight distribution? Should I go lower or higher? Thanks Pike (the photo still has susp. on. Gone now)

    TB problems

    Howdy- I am taking the front of my 68 Cuda apart and am having a problem with torsion bar removal. Working on the right side. I got the adjuster bolt about halfway out with much difficulty. Lotta PB blaster and liquid wrench and a 3' breaker bar. It's really stuck halfway out and I don't dare...

    Bad idea?

    I am ready to work on the underneath of my 68 Cuda vert. I don't have access to a rotisserie so was toying with the idea of putting the bumper brackets on the shell, bolting pieces of angle iron to them and using engine stands front and rear bolted to the angle iron to make the shell rotate. I...

    paint question

    I am working on a 68 Cuda vert. While stripping one of the doors it occurred to me that I don't know if the black on the inside of the door should be painted before the red on the exterior. Does it matter?

    Color question

    I am restoring a 68 Cuda vert. It was built w/a /6 but I got it without a motor. I am trying to keep it as original as possible with a few exceptions. I did pick up a /6 with trans from a 68 Dart. What color should the motor be as it came from the factory in the cuda?

    Another transplant question

    I have the 225 from the 68 Dart to put in my 68 cuda vert. I see on the "new" motor that the intake man. is tapped on top. I assume this is for a vaccume guage? My cuda doesn't have one but I would like to add one. I presently have the instrument panel out of the car so it would be a good time...
