That's Crazy !

Reading that @Cuda Cody has over 12 E Bodies on the go, got me thinking...

Nevermind while I reflect on my past a little.....
Sometimes I find these numbers staggering.....

Is there any other shop/person that can match or top these numbers ?

By the end of 2017.....

I will have restored thirty-two (32) Ebodies...

I guess there is a reason why I like E Bodies so much...

[Cuda Cody]

WOW!!!  You are the E-Body King!  Has anyone heard of someone that has done more E-Bodies then Alan?  We'll have to call him Little Hamtramck.    

Any chance you kept a photo of all the cars you have done?  I know what 12 cars look like, to do 32 of them is truly impressive!     Do you have an all time favorite?

Well if you click on the links I posted above there are pictures of all 32.....what I don't have in digital form is pictures of all the parts cars I went through in the early years....I had (18) 1972-74 Cudas and (7) 1972-74 Challengers that I either parted or sold (flipped) in the late 80's early 90's...I have their pictures in photo albums (old school).

My favorite was my first 1971....A 318 convertible that I cloned into a 440+6 4spd Cuda loaded with options....I regret treating it like a "show car" and not driving it more then I did.

The "World Famous Barrelcuda" also holds a soft spot....

Still waiting for someone to send me a "R" code HEMI I guess 

[Cuda Cody]

I applaud    anyone who can save any of these awesome cars, but when you save a car that most other people can not, that's something special.     The Barrelcuda will always be one of my all time favorites.

Wow!  Amazing!   

[ec_co]

truly amazing #s and shows an obvious love and passion for the e-body. if I had the coin, hands down you'd be doing a /6 Barracuda too (probably be the only professionally restored /6 e-body ever ... hahaha)

[Cuda Cody]

Can't stop thinking about how many really cool E-Bodies you have put back on the road.  Truly a feat to be very proud of.  Beside Hamtramck and LA, I don't think any single place has put more E-Bodies on the road then you.     And I have not heard one bad word about the cars you restore.  The photos all look fantastic.

Still hoping for one day to get a car worthy of sending you to work your magic!

As soon as I win the lottery you will have it!

Hate to be picky but the numbers add up to 33 Alan. You're even more experienced than you thought.

Thanks I made the correction . One 1971 Cuda is actually on my website twice so if you count the cars, there is 33, but in reality only 32 different ones....

The 0ne FJ6 1971 Cuda I restored as original with a 340 4spd, then the owner sold it and I got it back to put "Street Freak" front and rear suspension along with an upgrade to a 440 for the new owner......Now I hear the guy is taking out the four speed and putting in an automatic ?

Amazing, 32 e-bodies... with my speed that would take me about....  160 years. 

Respect!
