Little Update.   The car had been sitting for years and the motor paint was a mess from a leaky thermostat housing.  Carbs are being rebuilt as I type.  I gave the motor a fresh coat of paint.  Reassembly in a couple of weeks.  Wanted to get this done before the exterior paint correction in November.  Before and after pics

Well folks, I had the entire car professionally wet sanded and polished. We put a carnuba sealant on the entire car. There are 0 paint flaws now. All of the scratches from 7 years of sitting are completely gone. The car has a mirror finish and is like glass. Reassembling the motor right now. It is almost ready. Had to replace the gas tank. Moisture had settled in and ruined it of course. I detailed the Dana and everything else while the tank was out..

1st start up.
There's something to be said for brand new carburetors and a brand new fuel tank.

Well guys and gals, its finally done.  We did our best.
I put a lot of NOS Parts on this car, including door handles, multiple engine parts, and wheel centers.. I tried to  get as many of the reproduction Parts off of the car as possible and restored it with  a lot of NOS. I had a full paint correction done on the car and the paint is amazing. When they restored this car up in Minneapolis 10 years ago, it was done very well.  We did reshoot the original shaker bubble, it needed it. We set the timing today and wrapped it up.  We are gonna get it to the dyno sometime this winter. Big thanks to Jim Tanner. My behind the scenes Cuda specialist. Eric
