Haha, the first thought that came to my mind when I read "Here's a 72 Cuda" and saw the first picture was ".....allegedly".

Seriously though, this looks like it's going to be a lot of fun to watch, especially watching all the metalwork take shape. It's already looking fantastic. Plus, black with satin accents just looks so sinister. Is this going to be a quick cruiser or a rough and tumble ground pounder?

Are you going with the stage II front suspension?

Nice build. Do you have any pictures of the wheel tub work to fit the 345s? Specifically did you notch the frame and did you have to do any "stretching" to the outer wheel well? No doubt a mini tub or tub job, but I know the e-body outer wheel wells pinch down quite a bit. I'm building a Challenger and have been looking at my options to get it low with a large tire also.

Thanks, Wes

Sorry I missed this question,we moved the tub against the rail and massaged the inner part of the outer tub half,which was easy to do while we had the quarter off,no problems with the 345 still has about 1.5 inchs of room on the inside.

Shane,
Thanks-so no notch and do you have any specifics on the "massaged" outer half. Big hammer work or an english wheel and nice curved sections?

Thanks! Wes

No notch in the rails as it is going to be a real world driver,rather than a super low profiler,we just rewoked the wheel house on the english wheel and plannishing hammer till we were happy with the clearance.

Just 19 gauge cold rolled.Seeing as this was an original hood the metal was pretty good to work,not like the metal in repro hoods.

Yes XV's, they are a ordinary,they rub in a few places on the arms so I will have to address that issue sooner or later,but to be fair they were some of their first, hopefully they may be better now,Im at a loss as to why the other hinge manufacturers hav'nt done them.I for one would have liked a more better looking hinge for this car.
