checked out your build thread at CC from your link you posted on page one of this thread. Wow. You are either crazy or very competent. I will go with competent and might I add confident. What a major success and accomplishment to finish this PROJECT.

Congratulations.

Maybe post some pics on CC? I basically never go there as this is my home now and it seems that way for many who make it over here.

Yeah although this is my new home I should go back and at least post some of the finished product.

Thanks for the compliments.

I saw the car at the show but missed hearing it runs. Great to meet you Bryan. Paint and gaps looks really good. I saw the antenna was not installed, radio delete?

Congrats on a job well done.

I know the feeling of finally getting it done enough to drive and take to a car show.

Nah, have the antenna just didn't have enough time. Pretty easy to add and then send to my audio shop.

Fired it up for Mike and others, funny how guys across the show were revving the hell out of their motors and then the cops showed up.

Thanks! I'm really looking forward to the next show. I love seeing folks really surprised by seeing the before pics and then look at the Cuda.

Its crazy to think you resurrected that skeleton. I bet you have a big smile when you drive the car.

A long time coming, wow! Congratulations on seeing the process through

Had an issue where the Cuda would backfire under idle. Really strange. Went though and replace all plugs, checked all wires, dismantled the distributor, evacuated all the gas, refilled gas. Still had the problem.

So my last resort was rebuilding the carb, well that did the trick as I think the PV went bad which is kinda weird.
