Hey everybody!! I decided a while ago to take more of a G-Machine path with my 65 GT and im a regular viewer of some of the p.t. style builds like dodge29, PRRC, and gtmopar's cars, but I was wondering if there are some on here I havent found yet or maybe someone has one and just hasnt posted it? Even pics of finnished cars if ya got one! Just loving all the info and inspiration im getting from those guys great cars and hungry for more!! Help me out guys, youve never let me down so far!!:prayer:

No pics of my own worth posting yet. Still in the brainstorming and parts gathering phase mostly:banghead:.lol. Also we just moved about a month ago to get away from a drama filled neighborhood and the car is now being stored in a friends barn about 35 miles away as I have no garage to keep it in anymore so not really practical to work on it right now(Read: Tools and some parts here, Car and some parts there + cold weather and short days!)

I remember that car in the mags back in the day. I still have the pic on my toolbox
 
Well if you were closer I would love to help you build your car. Thanks for the kind words. It's been a long haul but I'm finally starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel even though its very dim. I'm going to spray the rear end housing and suspension components hopefully this week and looking forward to getting it back rolling again and getting the final prep done so I can get it in the booth and work my magic. There's a fabo member with a beautiful 65 cuda that has also done the pro touring treatment. Ill get you his name so you can follow him. Happy holidays bud.

Looks like the car Steve Strope of Pure Vision built for Romeo Furio called Dust 'Ya.
 
Thanks for following my build, I don't think there are many of us early A guys building PT style cars. Have you looked at Tincups build, It's finished and looks great. post some pictures of your car. Always like to see what others are doing. Tim
 
Hey Tim what's happnin man? Haven't seen or heard any updates on the dart. Have you squirt it yet? I know you had a bunch of other cars that had priority over yours. I still want to order those wheels from you but I'm in no rush I've got a lot of other stuff before I get to that point. Hope all is well happy holidays everybody.
 
Here's another, not an early A though...

Not much to update. The car just got finished at the blaster. I told them I was in no hurry because it was my personal car, 7 weeks later it's finished. The shop is still crazy busy. But I have got to make time to get back on it. I really don't want to go through another summer with out a car. I have been following yours as well are you close to paint? Forgive me but what wheels did we talk about? I saw you posted some thing about Boze wheels? Shoot me a PM so we dont get this thread off topic.

AutoXCuda, You are correct,Steve and I have been friends from when he started his business almost 20 years ago.We did several cars together.He hated that he was taged as a Mopar man as he wanted to build(and has)all makes.I just happened to have a stable of mopar bodies and project cars back then.

What does SCUD mean?
Click to expand...

When I was coming up with names for the project I researched various terms from the game of darts. Apparently scud means the same as "fallout" or a dart that is way off target (definition may vary depending on which list you subscribe to...). When I started the build, it was a simple rest-mod with some minor suspension mods. Now the build is WAY off that original target.

Another definition of Scud I found is "moving fast as if driven by the wind".

In either case, to me the term fits. Thanks for asking and Merry Christmas to you as well.

Very creative.
Speaking of creative, guys, check out the hood. Easy to miss on that pic.
