Greetings from NE Ohio. I've been a member of FBBO for several years, and currently have a 68 Coronet 500. I have an opportunity to put a Cuda project right beside her, so I thought I'd join the E body clan as well. If I do land the Cuda, I'm sure I may need the input of some seasoned Chally/Cuda guys. Here's my 500...

Thanks. I looked high and low for them. I always loved the Hurricane style. These are off an early 80's Ramcharger.

Welcome. I too am on an E-body project. Thankfully mine is more of a performance Pro Street build than back to original. I often refer to both my B and yes A-body cars for reference. The main difference I have found between the forbbodiesonly and E-bodies only? Is parts. E-body forum is more dominated for parts hunting. I also belong to A-body. A lot of whining why A-bodies get less love than B&E bodies. Lol. Though true? I don't have an answer other than that A-bodies are the lower priced and lower quality build.

Not at standard E-body Dana rear width. The tires on the pic are oversized for the Cuda's current rear setup. 32x15 on 15 centerline rims. I think 30x12.5 on same 12" rims just might fit. (No current inner wheelwell) if so? That is the max size DOT tire. (Cheater slick) that can be used in a "King Street" class I'm aiming for. (No wider than 10.5" full slick allowed.) It's a 3 race circuit at local track. Cars must also be able to complete 10 lap 3.5 mi road course. (Thus the "Street" part.)
