Finally some time to start build thread of my customers car. He bought it some years ago from CA, factory TX9 Gran Coupe. Pretty solid body, but typical rust issues on rear quarters and trunk floor. At the moment we have sheet metal work done and body moved to the paint shop a few weeks ago.

It's looking good. Did you change the tail panel to '71 too?
Keep yer foot in it

70-71 tail panels are same, just different tail light lenses and bezels.

Very nice.  That's a lot of metal replacement.  Excellent work.  :twothumbsup:  Is it an original  "R" code Hemi car?  Got love triple black.  :)

Not an R-code ... first post he mentioned that it was a triple-black Gran Coupe ... could have been a 383 car though??

Noticed GCragtop's handle says he's in Finland? Not surprising as a lot of these E-bodies have "migrated" to the Scandinavian countries however most seem to make a new home in neighboring Sweden.
Cheers!

Tis' better to have owned classic Mopars and lost than to have never owned at all (apologies to Alfred Lord Tennyson)

Must be hard ($$$$) as heck to build a car like that in Finland  :o :bigmoney:

This was originally 318 car with TX9 exterior, white interior and white vinyl top. Owner told me that he has dreamed many years about triple black -71 Hemi Cuda, so this is one way to build a car for him.

Yup: It's painful building one in Canada I can't imagine doing it in Finland. Really have to be dedicated$
