Hi everyone!
This is my first big restoration! Just getting into it... I've had this 1974 'Cuda since 1983 (my 3rd one) but it's been parked since 2001. Come New Years 2018 I told everyone I was going to work on the Cuda in 2018, but never got around to it, so on Christmas Eve 2018 I decided now's the time. So I pulled the engine and trans out, then it sat for another year while I built my rotisserie... With the self isolation of Covid I figured it's now or never! So here's where I'm at... So far the only help I've had is yesterday, I got a hand to take both doors off (fully assembled) 'cause they're kind of awkward to do alone... I Really like my rotisserie but as with any project you always realize afterwards how you could have done better... Today I placed an order for AMD quarter skins and some little items. I may have to order more after the sandblast... Later this week I have a guy coming to remove windshield and rear glass so I can start sandblasting and we'll see how it goes...

aboard. I would also recommend to install subframe connectors before you start removing metal. This will help to really stiffen the structure making for better panel alignments. Good luck, lots of work there.
