   Hello. I have joined a few different Mopar/Cuda themed websites. This one I'm sure is going to be my home.  I like it here on this site. Anyways, here is a little information on me and my car.

   I bought my 73 340 4 speed Cuda in 1992 when I was 18 years old.  I drove it for two summers and did not want to drive it again until it was all fixed up nice with a paint job etc.  Anyways fast forward 25 years and I am now 43 years old, happily married for like 21 years with 2 kids, a house paid for and finally built a shop/garage to work on my car.  Now, old Dad can finally spend some cash on my dream car.  My goal is to have it done before I'm 50!  Seriously.     

   I will be looking for a lot of advice from my fellow Canadians  :canada:  on sources for parts and connections in western Canada to complete my car. 

  Anyways....  here are some pics.

Thanks.  It had 55,000 original miles on it when I bought it.  Has around 58,000 now.  It was all original when I goy the car.  I put a different intake, carburetor, and headers on it back when I was a youngster.  So yeah, it is mostly all there and in not to bad of shape.

My Nephew made that Mopar Logo that's on the back wall.  Grade 11 or 12 metalwork project!  :bradsthumb:

And the shop is 32x60.  I've been living at the same place for around 20 years before I could afford the shop.  I might add some details about my shop in the Shop thread I saw awhile ago.

Yes, it has the blue interior.  But I fully intend on going the "resto-mod" route with my car.  So very little will remain original.
