Another Cuda - Lateral-g Forums

Hello all,

Haven't put up anything in a while.

We just finished up this mini tub and four link in a 70 Cuda. We ended up just using the four link bars in the customer supplied "bolt in rear kit" which never works. Any how with the size rim and tire and where he wanted the car to sit just wasn't going to work with the supplied kit. So we ended up scratch building the back half with what we had.

Here's a few pics. We also had to do a few rusty areas as well.

Wow Mark, that came out real nice. The work on the tubs is outstanding!

Mark,

What size wheels did you stuff back there?

Really nice metal work there. Are those magnets holding the patches? I like that, no holes to fill later.

Thanks! We are a tiny shop. So trying to make an impression on everything we do is a must.

Thanks again for the props. Yes. Those are rare earth magnets. Those little suckers are so strong if you get your fingers pinched they will give you a blood blister.

I had not thought to use those. I have several, and yeah I know about the pinch. I have about a dozen 1/2"x3/4" that have a chrome looking coating on them with smoothed corners and edges.
Thanks for posting those pics. That's going to help me a bunch with my bodywork.

Any time. It's the simple things that work.

It's one of those "duh....why didn't I think of that?" things. Lol!

Whats next on this project? What are the plans for a drivetrain, interior & paint.?

Great work.
After seeing these pics, I really would love to build a pro-tour 'Cuda!
