I have the urge to go old school with the cuda, should I?

It doesn't sound so bad right now. I like the minilite idea too though.

Ya, just need to change it up a bit, other than a recent wheel change it`s been pretty much the same since `96 and I`m a bit bored with it appearance wise.

I say do it

IMHO the BFG banner Cuda represents the classic old school day 2 look.  I think your's is very close to the tire size and stance, maybe just swap out wheels.

Now your heading my direction.  I love the old school look and the more "resto-mod" look too.  I agree with @Chryco Psycho that the suspension, wheel, and brake upgrades on mine have helped it handle and perform extremely well. 

Sounds like you have some decisions to make before any parts will be ordered.

I like #42....hopefully the #'s are magnetic ones. This is the direction I am Taking with my Challenger 340. As a matter of fact the T/A hood arrives today from Year One

Hell a 671 blower will definitely give you a smile on your face.

Do whatever makes you happy. Damn the torpedos!

Nah, those are stuck on there. That is a dedicated race car. It sees no street time.

Wish I could afford that!

I'll tell ya , nothing puts a grin on my face like pulling up behind a yuppie with a  newer BWM, Mercedes on an on/off ramp and almost feeding them the bumper  waving at them to go. Or when getting off an off ramp and watching them almost loose it trying to keep up. Or moving over out of the hammer lane  letting them go by , then come up behind them . (OD transmission works great here) They often check the rear view mirror  every couple of seconds shocked that you are still there.  Another one I find funny is watching people behind me  when I make a right hand turn in town. I don't even touch the brakes, often I accelerate on purpose  , then watch them almost spin out  because they figure if I'm not braking then they don't need to either!
People don't expect these cars to handle, they know they are fast . Point is it's fun surprising people especially the stereotypical BMW types.... my suggestion, make your car handle, its great fun , nobody expects it from a Mopar musclecar!

I really like the old school look, that's the era I grew up in The 70's great times. I also like the factory stock look with a slightly wider tires. So the way I'm going is old school with the 10" Cragars with 60 /275R/ 15 on back with Cragars and skinnies on front  and air shocks. I'm going to pick up a flat hood and mold a pro stock scoop on and I'll be good to go. Then I'll have my stock scooped hood a set of Magnum 500's with 235/60R/15 to run the factory look when I want. Just swap the hoods, wheels, tires and lower the air shocks and in a hour and a half you're rolling factory again.  It's your car, anyway you go will be just fine as long as it put's a smile on your face when you turn the key forward.

Back in the early - mid 70's there was a circuit that people would cruise in my town. A buddy had a lime green 70 Cuda with a 440. It had a radical barely streetable cam and a high rise Eldebrock intake. He put a scoop similar to the one in this pic on his hood. That car looked and sounded so bad azz that no one ever wanted to race him. I would love to find a good quality hood with that scoop attached.  That to me is "old school"

A bunch of years back I cruised past a BMW M model on a 2 lane divided highway and he pulled back up and wanted to play. We did a couple acceleration blasts from 65mph up and each time I pulled him by 4-5 car lengths, I think he was a bit surprised.
