Hey everyone.. 

I'm Chris and I jumped into the E body platform last January..    Flew to Alabama, drove it to Minnesota.. 

Its a 1973 "Cuda 340 833 car..       It was cloned as a 70, sheet metal, grill, bumpers, ect..
I got the look without the price..     

Numbers matching....nope..      fender tags.....long gone..   
I wanted something I could mod and not slay a numbers car.. 
That and I didn't want to pay the Mopar tax for numbers matching stuff..   

The original 340 popped in the early 90's and was replaced with an early 71 block (steel crank)
I'm not 100% on if they popped on J heads or not, when I was R&R'ing the valve cover leaks, I didn't think to check.   
Luniti Voodoo tapper, magnaflow exhaust, MSD 6AL, pro billet dizzy..   

She has some "personality" but I'll work that out..     

I'll be undoing the AAR stuff when the time comes.. 
I'm patching the herpies hiding under the vinyl top...    I'll redo it at a later time.. 

I'm in Eagan MN..

Growing older is mandatory...growing up is optional.

Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

Yup..     

I even got caught in a blizzard like condition in Iowa.   

Had a blast!

Hit the car wash as soon as I got into town.     It's not even a block from my house. 

It did exceptionally well in the snow on bald drag radials.   [emoji12]
