Hi, my name is John and I finally got my cuda last year! It’s a numbers matching 1970 440/727. Sadly no fender tag or build sheet 
- not a huge issue because I’m not going to get rid of it.
The person I bought it from parked it in his garage 14 years ago and let it set there until I was able to convince him to let me take it off his hands. (Fortunately, because I wouldn’t have been able to afford it had he not neglected it).
The car was complete and only missing the rear window defogger motor. He knew it had been rear ended back in the 90s with the deck lid, trunk floor pan being replaced. When I got it there was a rusted hole in the trunk floor. I dropped the gas tank and cleaned the carb to get it running for a couple days before tearing the whole car apart. (Totally thought I’d be able to restore the car in a couple months despite having zero experience, haha)
Waiting for warm weather to start back up on the body work!
Reading the forums I’ve seen so many helpful posts and supportive people. I’m looking forward to bothering you with questions as I don’t know a lot about restoration.

aboard. I hope that you took lots of pictures before the teardown and used a Lot of baggies to put the tagged parts in. If you haven't already done iot ,get a few books like a factory shop manual, a service manual, and any other books on you car you can find for reference. They are invaluable. Good luck.
