I thought it came with the wing? Looks terrible. Should have kept the Duster.
Just kiddin!! Serious OCD on this one. Looks great as usual Ross.

Nope I added the wing to it back in 1990 but it wasn't per the broadcast sheet so it didn't go back on during the restoration.

As with the Duster (where I fist started following your work, ABO) awesome work. Any interior shots, or do I just not remember from previous post. And, 99% done? What's left, oh almost forgot = project cars are "never" really done. LOL.

I really don't have any good interior shots but it a standard dash, standard steering wheel, basic vinyl buckets, center console 4 speed. very basic. I only have a few parts left to install along with the buckets and console. It will be done for a while as I come across some smaller correct date coded parts I will add them but it will be done and no longer a project.

Thanks for the compliments everybody.
fk5aar I wish you still had that NOS throttle cable you sold a while back...I really could use it now.

I don’t think that was me, I haven’t sold many parts on here....I was just thinking the steelies on that car look better than the rallys! Very nice

The last part that was keeping the Cuda from it's first road test showed up today...When I told friends and family I was waiting on a driveshaft they didn't understand why I just didn't go to my local company and have them build me one in a day or so....this is why !!!! Nobody builds 'em like Rob Brombacker..exactly like OEM. It has the correct part number per the Broadcast sheet and date code.

I think you got shafted

Now that the driveshaft is installed, I was able to drive the car out of the garage under its own power since October 2016 when I tore it down for the Restoration to begin.

Does it drive good in the rain? Hope so cause it wont stop.
