Brad's second '70 'Cuda and first and last restoration project

Alan did this to me....

Great job sidestepping the blame...

Car looks fantastic.   

Any possible up dates or when you get your first maiden voyage?

Hopefully this coming week. Waiting for a few more parts and as soon as those arrive and are installed we should be good to go.

Okay, not sure how this is going to work.  Took a video of my Cuda's maiden voyage today and downloaded it in the video section.  Here is the link.  This has been a loooong 9 years coming.  The first time the car has driven in over 23 years!  Couldn't have done it without all the help from the people on this forum. 

Cody let me know if I need to do something different for the video so people don't have to wait for it to load all over again.

It's a great day !

Great to have another one alive.

Okay she's legal now.     Went to the DMV today and registered the Cuda for the first time in 23 Years.  Surprisingly all went very smoothly and they even let me keep/use the vintage personalized plates that came with the car.     Unfortunately, the local alignment shop that specializes in torsion bar suspensions is booked out until 5-14.  I did a "bench" alignment per the instructions on the site so I should be good for a couple of quick burns around the neighborhood until then.

You did an incredible job on that Cuda!!!

You guys are killing me with the work you do on these cars. Mine will not be anywhere this nice.

That black paint really looks great on the Cuda, I hope you enjoy the hell out of that car.

[usraptor]

Thanks Ledphoot.  I had a lot of help, especially from people on this forum.  After 9 years I plan on having a lot of fun with it.

Nice having it plated. You'll likely find a few small issues that will need tickling.

Wow, Cuda came out great.

Saw the video.

I'm already making a list.  Like the hood alignment along with some other issues.

27 seconds into to the maiden voyage, you romp it and spin the tires......YEAH BABY.

CONGRATS on getting your car back on the road.   It looks and sounds great!

[usraptor]

Thanks guys.  I couldn't resist to lite up the tires a little.  With the 4:10 rear end and the 512 stroker I barely had to hit the throttle.  It's going to be a beast.
