B5fourspeed Cuda Restoration Progress

[RUNCHARGER]

Hopefully I'm the only guy that has butchered a stock Chrysler installed floor on a real 71 Cuda lately.

I've seen his floors and if he puts the 4 speed hump where it should be there should be a problem.

He might quickly mock up the 4 speed since he has the cross member in place. Funny thing is the four speed doesn't really move that much side to side than you think but if you have it but up against the inner side you will have trouble.

Bob will get here eventually! Resto thread and all!

Bob replied back to me in an e-mail he joined here.
I didn't see his user name 4speedfish if he did use that one again.



Brian, @HP_Cuda

I spoke with him today and he'll be out there this week-end.
If you're free this week-end, send me  a PM.

Some new photos I took for @B5fourspeed today.

Bob expects he should hopefully be ready for paint by end of Summer.

[RUNCHARGER]

That almost looks like a car!

Bob is finished.  Oh wait, this was his first restoration.  Purchased this from him in 2010.

Great colours!

The test fit on the AMD fenders went pretty well.The body lines mate up very well.Next is to test fit the grille to see how the headlight buckets match up.The driver side quarter is all screw down for its final mock up.Next is the passenger side that is ready to be screwed down.Then I will mock up the tail panel and trunk lid for the final time.I swear I took the quarters on and off 30 times during this process.Thanks Mike for taking the pictures.Thanks Bruce for showing me how much work I have left.Just Kidding.I hope {Gracie) is still running strong.Great forum Cody thanks for all your great work putting this together.

Looks like the metal work is being done to a high level.

A few hours fitting now will save days of anguish and tins of bondo later. Good job, it's looking great.
