I dragged > draginmopars...lol
the 73 Cuda out of Hibernation for the last 20 years.
has been in painters jail twice ( I didn't learn the first time)
or second

I'm 62, Gear Head- gears always turning,
thinking> How to stay active and out of the box (out of jail too)
causes me to think  "Outside the box"...lol

grew up  > " Dare to be Different"

have had many mopars over the years.
present project is a 73 Cuda,
the engine for it is in my mobile dyno ( 70 Dart custom) > big small block (449)

I just finished a 72 Dart Swinger > 540, 518,3.73 true-tac dana.
(waiting on weather to paint)

The 540 came out of my Satellite, which now is powered by a CTD.

slowly finishing the Rampage >  big block
also have a 340 4 speed swinger, finally got all the parts to start on it, after the cuda

Will be hauling them to the track on a 73 ramp truck (CTD 5 speed)

All work is done in a DC-10 section

When I was building the car hauler> rotted floors

thanks again, everyone for the welcome.

@ the track other brands don't like me (so what)...lol
I like being a mis- fit, like my toys....

last year took the CTD Satellite to a Diesel meet.
Man those diesel guys was smoken mad cause a 4 door  finished 9 out of quick 16
Taped the decal to the Rear inside door glass)>> Mind games @ track...lol
(7.39 @ 91)...lol

time trials> playing around with a friend in the other lane (last year)
have since installed a larger turbo and injectors, got to change the transmission converter now, (blow thru)

my other 4 door the white dart.
went to a new track, was told I was in the wrong lane (Super pro) til I made a pass...lol
6.67 @ 103
this pass not good, trying to find a ignition problem( let my friend  Bill drive, so I can see/hear what the car was doing)

The Engine in the White dart, is the engine going in the Cuda...

moving the Swinger, gave me motivation to keep sanding,
knowing getting closer to the finish line. be able to hit the streets this spring

All my toys run on (E-85)> can't afford race fuel
am told > first few jars out of the still, burns best with e-85
I know when I fuel the cars, the smell makes me want to take a drink..> I don't even drink or smoke
all my money goes to parts...lol

My "High" in life is to reach the goals I set for MYSELF @ the track
Have  "Fun" doing it...

also here's some pre-shop pics
