New here ~ Abita Springs, LA

[1 Wild R/T]

I was working at a Dodge dealer when the Conquests first arrived.... Those cars drove so much better than anything else in the Dodge lineup at the time is was an eye opener....

4 cylinder Turbo with a 5 spd, the cars were pretty tail happy & could be allot of fun.... Then again the first week we had them two got crashed by salesmen cause they didn't expect the tail to kick out....  Funny none of the techs crashed them & we drove them allot as part of the PDI...

Cody's FY1 color is to die for.  Cant wait to show off my car.  last night I was just beginning the process to start the motor, its been  2 1/2 years since I decided to tear the car apart.   after a couple of leaks with the cooling system, I reached in to turn the ignition key (windshield not installed yet) ..... sad face nothing happened!   after about an hour of fiddling around, success .  After trany fluid, it was time to get fuel in the tank and get fuel into carbs.   Another set back fuel wasn't getting to carbs.  torn fuel line apart,  found a broken off pencil in the fuel line.    tomorrows a new day.

  That Starion is very nice looking. Have fun building the Cuda. You'll really enjoy it when it is completed.

Thank You all for the warm welcome  i'm getting convinced to just do the body work on the 'Cuda in my garage, with help of a buddy that has done this stuff before. i'll do a build thread and post progress.

Today, i talked to my buddy ( body/paint shop ) that was having health issues. He's is back at it ( short a few body parts ) taking his insulin, feeling great and doing well so, the Cuda will go to his shop July 8th. He told me he's currently cleaning up around the shop making tons of room. I've know this guy since 1976 so it's cool to see him back to his old self doing well. I'm stoked

That's great news...for both of you! Looking forward to some exciting pictures!
