I imagine the lack of rear seat is due to mods to fit the tires.

This thing is rolling art, complete exercise in excess.

I appreciate it but glad it's not mine :)

You could barely call that car a Cuda or e-body at this point. More of a rolling art piece.

Anybody know the color specs?
I spent about twenty minutes with the owner of Cambell's Restoration, Cambell , San Francisco peninsula. He gave me a walk-around  describing all the work his shop did. The color is Viper green. The seats were made from two different sets of Recaro seats. He said the flush glass was a real challenge without using the trim which hides a lot of poor fitmant. He went through three sets of glass before he got it flush all the way around and making mods to the sheetmetal. The Cuda's sheetmetal has been totally reinforced every where including the flat hood. His client insisted on the flat hood. He said the Ring Bros hood hinges were a pain to get right because they are way off dimensionally, he partly blamed Plymouth for that.. The photos do not do the paint  justice. I told him the moment I walked into the building I couldn't help but notice the exquisite paint job and flush glass....it simply jumps out at you drawing you nearer and nearer until you are noticing all the attention to detail. Made the $25.00 admission and parking fee worth every penny.

Agreed, the car and the work they did must be seen in person. Casual snaps from a cellphone just can't capture the detail of this ride.

Pretty amazing car but I wonder why the owner went with the flat hood considering all the other modifications.

When we built my Brother-in-law's "Killer Cuda" back in 1994 we did flush glass front and back and removed the drip rails as well....Very subtle changes that not a lot of people noticed right away... :bigthumb: It's the little details that separate the big boys...
