This is an BS code “Cuda” car that was originally a 340 Auto car. Original Motor and Transmission are not with the car. Most of the car is original parts as far as I know. The car is completely disassembled and on a chassis rollers (US Car Tool Body Wheels $575 cost). This is a project car...
Thanks. That confirms what I am seeing too on my car. It’s look like the rear line curves down at the tail, but since the fender actually curves Inward its hard to tell.
Working on my quarter panel install and alignment. I’m shooting a level/straight line with a laser level. Question is how “straight” is the body line really? Anyone ever shot theirs and checked it? nothing on my car is “straight” anyway so hate to ruin it.
Yeah, that fit sucks. Drivers side looks good. Passenger side is a mess. I should replaced this whole outer wheel well vs patching it. i definitely screwed up that compound curve with my patch panel. Looks like some more work to do on the fit.

Just rounded out 1 year of the restoration on the 73 Cuda. Still having fun, but definitely a lot of work. Couple of things i have learned over the course of the year:
- my original plan was to be done with all metal work by now. That sounded good. But life happens and 45 yr old cars have...
got one side of my patch panel almost done. got clean up some welds and finish grinding. patch panel fit pretty well with some hammering and grinding. othersise is a different story.
