1969 'cuda 383 4-speed

hey cuda dad...

it's great that GYC is starting to work on your car. i also didn't realize it has been there for 2 years. i'm not to comfy with the above pic of them picking up the body with the roof ... but i guess they will fix anything they bend.

i just bought a 69 fastback M-Code and got hooked up with American Metal Direct (AMD) down in Georgia because of the GYC episode where AMD did all the sheet metal on the orange 70 Cuda that was wrapped up in a ball. i think worman calls it the "phantom Cuda." i talked to AMD's shop manager Craig Hopkins about doing my Cuda and he and i worked out a pretty reasonable deal. the M-Code that i bought had been converted to a drag car and had all the underside chassis and floor pans butchered for "drag components." AMD has special frame jigs that they built for A body and E body cars so they can cut and replace the entire floor pans and get them aligned corrected to factory specs. i only found out about AMD's new resto shop by watching GYC!!

i hope worman and his gang keep as much or the original OEM parts for your car as possible. i think you're going to have a great car when it's done. please post more pics on FABO as it goes along ...

best of luck
