Looks good Alan, I'm sure the customer will love it.  Just me I guess but I would have went with a T/A hood , Made the T/A that "never was" in Winchester grey, or butterscotch .
I've never been much of a Shaker fan I guess, less so knowing it's "fake" /non functioning . Great big heat sink, air restriction ,heavy, PITA to work on , and crazy expensive. At least this one will let some heat out...?
But Customers are always right!

So at the beginning of this my customer gave me an unrealistic time line of 225 days for the complete build....Today is the half way point....

Although it doesn't look like I have much done, I think I'm in a pretty good position to make the deadline.

Today I removed the driveline, placed the car on the cart and got it to the body shop: UNFORTUNATELY  it's now out of my hands ....We all know how body shops can be :'(

With the car out at the body shop, not much happening here. Assembled the rest of the front suspension along with both hubs and the six piston caliper brakes  :yes:
Hope to get out to the body shop after the holiday weekend and see if there progress yet  :fingerscrossed:

Thank you very much....Yea the owner is pretty stoked...we're already discussing doing a matching Cuda, but having a hard time finding a donor car to start with. :'(

To my surprise the body shop is moving right along....They got a lot of the dents knocked out....welded up the BSM holes in the quarters and doors...and today they patched the driver's side lower rear quarter....

Body work is coming right along....Thought I would share this sequence of pictures they sent me today....I'm glad to see they're not just filling pin hole with goop....This is the front lower corner of the passenger side door...

This is one very cool project... I didn't catch the specs on the wheels and tires, can you share/reshare them with me?

:)

Thank you for all the pics / details, looking forward to the completion on this one.
