I've seen Dave's car in Mississauga before. Mine would have been out with the top down too if it wasn't still gutted since October 2019.

To answer this thread's subject line.....I looked at it!
If I remember right...metal replacement?

Thanks @Cuda jason . Nice cuda you have there.  Looking forward to the end of the pandemic and will meet all of you guys at Moparfest. I was there 2 years ago after Alan had just finished my car.  I think that's @blown motor 's Challenger next to mine.

November 11th and It was nice enough out today to take that car out to an appointment....ran great!  Glad the heater works. 

Certainly the latest I have ever had the car out for a spin.

I have to correct myself. I was reminded today on FB that 6 years ago Nov 12, that I took the cuda to pick up my son from school.

I dont recall the weather being as nice that day as it was the last few days

Pulled off the car cover (temp outside storage  :thumbdown:)
Covered some of the added wiring in hidden areas with the cheap plastic shielding. Reassembled the rear interior panels and seat.

Drove for about 180 miles on a single trip to complete the engine break-in before I dropped in fresh oil ahead of tucking the car away for the winter.  It was the furthest and fastest (75ish for a spell) I've gone since it got back on the road.   Everything worked great. 

I'm not sure what gas mileage I got, but  I know I received 1 thumbs up for about every 30 miles I drove.   :driving: :bradsthumb:

I went in the garage, took the cover off the car, hooked up the battery and started her up. I let her run for about 15 minutes, shut it off, unhooked the battery, put the cover back on and went back in the house. 😂

180 miles and you didn't stop by?  :pokeeye:

:dunno: Sorry Murray.  Had a long ways to go and a short time to get there.

Fight with my headliner this weekend. Winter temperatures are not ideal for the break. But the result for a beginner suits me.  :('
A Barracuda 70 that wants to be as big as a Cuda Trans am.

That looks great from what I can see. The difference in temperature when it's cold probably makes shrinking them easier.

A short drive up the Loma Prieta Mountainside and a visit with Floorit426.

This engine sure loves colder air. What a difference.
