Howdy gang!

Hello there. I am a looong time Mopar fan, but just recently discovered this forum so I thought I'd join up and introduce myself. Name's Chris and I'm in the Seattle/Tacoma area. My first Mopar was a 72 Swinger that I absolutely fell in love with - a little green, mean 318 and man it was a lot of fun. Still kicking myself for selling it. Over the years I've had a number of A-bodies (67 pro street, 71 4-speed). About 20 or so years ago I had the chance to purchase my ultimate dream car - a 1972 Cuda. Something about the first year round tail lights did it for me.

It sat covered until I could get some funds to start the project. And then work moved. And then we had kids. And then...you know the story. So fast forward to this year and I've decided to finally kick it off with the help of my twin sons - sorta like a father-son thing, sorta like a 'I should have started along time ago' thing.


Anyway, good to be here - cheers!

Welcome from Northern California! I'm so glad to hear about your project. I have a '72 'cuda as well. I'm glad you love it as much as I do. Is your car a 318 or a 340? Please share more photos, and thanks so much for the photos you've shared. Best of luck with your project!

Looks like a solid car to start with.

Btw, if you store the hood on it‘s side you will be less likely to bend the corners.

Welcome from Yelm WA.. I have a 73 Cuda I finished about 2 years ago along with a pile of other Mopars.

Wow - already getting good advice! So not sure why I forgot to mention this in the first post but: it's a BS23 car...originally 340 4 barrel automatic. The 340 is long gone, but we are planning on finding a decent 360 and rebuilding that. Again, thanks for the warm welcome.

aboard. Great looking project. The grille is the hardest part to get on those. Also, good advice to store the hood on the edge not the top or bottom...
