69 Cuda resto

I guess a little back story is due. When I was a kid (early 70s) my dad had a 69 'Cuda that was the family car and on the weekends we'd race it at Kil-Kare drag strip just north east of Dayton, Ohio. I grew up sitting in the engine compartment habding hin wrenches and holding the flashlight (always a favorite past time of the sons of gear heads...lol).He got rid of it in the early 80s. A few years back we started to get theitch for a loud fast muscle car and found this gem in Mass. The body wasn't too hateful so we decided to get it road worthy and get her running. We rebuilt the engine and tranny this past summer and, like I said, I managed to drive it into a wall a few days ago. Not that wrecking a car is ever a good thing but it was somewhat a blessing. The metal didn't bend..it broke. We were gonna have to replace all of it anyway. Also, we can resto the engine compartment the way it should be.
