Looking good. I owned a lime green 71 Challenger at one time also. Actually, I owned the same car twice and regretted selling it the second time as well.
Yes, they make them slightly long to begin with to trim to fit and being that you have a Cuda you will have to cut more off than Challenger owners due to the 2" shorter wheel base.
My buddy has a beautiful black with white nose stripe 68 Camaro SS RS 396 4 speed car that is buried in a pole barn just like that. One can not even tell there would be a car parked underneath everything. It hasn't been out in over 25+ years.
Very cool old truck. I love those old trucks. I would not mind restoring one someday. What year is your Back Burner Barracuda? Now there is a good name for it....
All of these cars have gotten a little steep. Never in a million years did I think people would be asking an average or about 6 figures for these cars.

I do and probably have an addiction to them. I give them away to kids all the time at swap meets and car shows. I have donated 1000's to different organizations like Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, Hospitals and Charities for kids over the years.
