I have always bought and played with cars since I was a kid. Now I'm a 60 year old "kid" who still plays with cars LOL Here are a couple examples of my handiwork. Seems no matter how nice the car is when I get it I have to put "my touch" on it and I hope I improve them before passing them on. Check it out
First is my 71 Cuda B5 Blue 383 bought in 2014 the 383 ran good but was a little ugly under the hood. This was done without pulling the motor
Then my 68 Fastback 340-S Barracuda bought in 2021 the 340 was blue and needed to be red. I pulled the motor on this one.
What do you think of my work?

The engine bay re-dos look great. I have to ask though, did you regret getting rid of the A/C in the 71 Cuda?

No regrets because cleaning up that engine bay helped sell the 71 'Cuda when the "survivor" 70 Challenger I knew about for 25 years came up for sale. The profit I made helped me afford the Challenger. I pulled the engine and freshened the engine bay on it too
