I'm Heartbroken. Time to face reality that my Cuda is a parts car.
More pix. The drag race guy crudely made aluminum mirror delete plate pop riveted on. That's since been removed and holes welded over and ground down. I got real lucky to find fenders, grilles, valance locally on Facebook auto trader that have been sitting in a storage unit since the 1990s. Ended up using a 73 dart hood and hood hinges bought from salvage yard (same hood as a 69). Grilles were smashed and missing parts. Reglued them together with MEK, filled in the voids where plastic was missing with JB weld. Hunted down all the missing parts to make them right. Point I am trying to make is, damn near anything is fixible. My pops threw almost nothing away. There was always a way to fix it. This car wont be perfect, but it will be nice when done.
