My M-Code Cuda is finally getting worked on
more news from craig at AMD today. they cut the rear floor pan out of the car today. i told craig how glad i was that they were doing this work as they are replacing major parts of this car that are WAY beyond anything i could ever do. i told craig i was just an old "putty and paint" body guy - not a major structure welder!
here's some pics of what they took out today. i have to say, whoever built this car really did a professional job! this was a full blown drag car originally with a 426 hemi and all the "drag goodies" in the chassis, interior and engine bay. if anyone out there in FABO land recognizes this car from the strip or knows who might have built this car, i'd love to know. i'm pretty sure it was built and campaigned in the Boston area.
a bit of other news that might be of interest to the "racers" out in FABO land. the blue parts car that i bought is in very nice condition AND i got a clear title and the fender tag with the car. as AMD is cutting the floor pan out of the blue car and putting it in the yellow car, it struck me that if someone wanted to build a drag car, they could put the "drag components" out of the yellow car into the blue car. as such, i've asked craig at AMD to save all the structures they are cutting out of the yellow car. so the pics that i've posted could be welded into the blue car body to make a pretty nice drag car.
so if any of you drag racers out there are interested, when AMD is done rebuilding the yellow M car, i am going to sell the blue car body and the drag race floor pan and tubs will go with it. as i said, i have a title and fender tag for the blue car.
just for orientation, the second and third pictures fit together. you can see the inner quarter panels (where the rear window crank mecanisms are) in the second picture. those panels fit over top of and beside each of the rear wheel tubs.
