I visited 4speedfish today with his new project he is building.
He said to post some pictures up here.

Hes building a B5 blue 440 70' Cuda.

Body has been blasted and epoxy primed already.
The whole back half of the car will require new AMD sheetmetal.

He said he plans to register here soon.

 :wave:  Sweet!  Tell him to post some more photos.  Want to see this Fish come back to life.   :veryexcited:

Topcat

He isn't much of a shutter bug type of person.

I'll let him know we would like to get pictures here on his progress.

Cody, can you correct these pictures?


Cuda Cody

Gotcha covered...PM sent to CODY and you.

Spoke with Bob today.

He says he plans on joining here.
Basically just procrastination or busy.

He had questions on mounting the 4 speed AMD sheet metal hump and how it's centered and weld spots.   :whiteflag:

Maybe it's time I give CODY his phone number and let's close the deal on getting him in here.   :idea:

The hump should kind of drop into place. The rear ribs on the hump will line up with the ribs in the floor. At least they did with a stock 71 floor I did last year.

Yeah that's what I told him today.

There's a little piece of metal that sticks out at the very rear that falls into the corragated indentation to line up everything.
