I've been lurking around and finally joined but realized i never did introduce myself here. Harry in Louisiana, i have been a MOPAR dood since 1979 when i bought a 72 Demon /6 driver. Since then i've had many Mopars but this '70 'Cuda is my first E Body. I've had this Demon for about 6 years. I sold it after Crusin' the Coast last year when my wife saw me drooling over a 70 'Cuda there, she told me " why don't you just sell the Demon and get what you want ? "  :thinking: We picked up the 'Cuda the morning after Christmas Day and the plan was to have at my buddy's shop within the month for panel replacement, body and paint. My buddy wound up in the hospital so it's still at home. I have the equipment and i'm thinking about doing the work myself but something keeps telling me  :stop: 
As of now i have a fresh magnum 408 short block, FI Tech fuel injection, Tremec 5 speed set up, US Car Tool stage 3 kit and the Hotchkis TVS . The fender tag went missing somewhere during the restoration bag and tag session, and the build sheet is unreadable so i'm building it like I want. As of now it'll be yellow with black hockey stripes. I am very excited. This is a way cool site  :ohyeah:

Smart wife you have there @Pentastarnut   :yes:  You're going to be very happy with that Cuda when you get done.  Hard to beat the feeling you get driving an E-Body.  There's something special about it that you have to experience to understand.  Yellow with a black stripe will look nice.  I have a great FY1 Yellow paint code for PPG base / clear if you need it.  Just ask @CamasCuda  how he likes it?

Thanks for sharing some photos.   :bradsthumb:

Thank You i'm glad to be here. The black Starion ( Conquest Starion same car ) is my daily driver, i bought it from the original owner. The Olive one is something i've always wanted to do to one of these after reading the Conquestador article by Ted Wagner in a Mopar Magazine from 1990. I was going to trade the Olive Grey one for body/paint for the 'Cuda.

Welcome, I like the pitch fork antenna lol
The Starion brings back memories of my Starion ESI-R in Silver really fun car to drive had stock staggered wheels. It finally led me to my 3000GT VR-4's but have always been a Moparman at heart but these Mitsu's are great cars non-the-less also.

Your Cuda looks like a fun project, and always nice to have the wife's approval.  :lookatthat:
