Hello to all, my lil CUDA is a 1970 which I acquired my senior year of high school in 1973. It is sporting the lil 340 with a few little perks added along with a 727 tweeked rather well. It has been in storage or "barn" as Gas Monkey calls it since 1987,,,we have moved her to a climate controlled shop where a full blown resto is taking effect and will continue for a couple years as this has become my retirement toy, sold everything else to support it so wife is kinda happy,,,repeat,,,KINDA happy,,,located in Southeast Arkansas if anyone ever in the area, feel free to contact me and we can have a heads up conversation,,oh yeah,,,my avatar was a paint job I did in 1981 I think,,,hand rubbed lacquer ever ounce of it,,,thank the LORD for BC/CC,,,,

Welcome from Minneapolis here. I too have 70 Cuda. Mine is crazier drag/street build. Sometimes wish it was all original build. But we each play the hand delt. We love pics. So post away?

Great picture story.Love the look, especially with the Tunnel Ram. Cringe at the AAR hood though, but that's the way it was back then. Good luck on the project. I start mine soon. Will post.

Welcome to the site from the Motor City! Great project. Does it have a fender tag? Going back to original or keeping it day 2?
