Well had a chance to hit the shop a lil bit and was gonna try to align the front end up and ended up doing more welding. Found a few pin holes that needed welding, had to reweld the front fender mounting brace back on that i forgot about. So here is a few snaps of the fender being put back...

So in order to have everything fit after she is rotisseried, i am reinstalling the fenders to line em up. Once the lines all match, doors adjusted, hood lined up, etc, then i can mud up the front end to have everything fit nice and snug. That way once i get her jigged, and all cleaned up...

Just throwing a few pics up of the engine out of the bay. We drained 10 quarts of oil and water out of her from the crack in the block, and amazingly she still was turning over lol. Also showing a few shots of the empty engine bay, and took a quick snap of the underside. the frame rails...

thanks gary for the words of encouragement! Ill try to stay on top of this build for you all that are watching!

So Muad, does that cam run pretty good street wise? looking for a nice lump to her but also streetable. Also, did you run headers on yours and what kind? I am lucky that I already have a place up in Allenton where i have the car, got a guy there that rebuilds motors and he is itching to get on...

crvtec90-I definitely second the idea of frame connectors. Yea i am thinking frame connectors are a way to go after i researched em a bit thanks to other members input! I heard the dart ones with the shovel style end fit the 66 cuda but of course ill research. Its not a rush yet. As for...

So everyone, the motor has been pulled as well as tranny. However we took down the motor cuz it was turnin over but lacked compression. And surprise, cracked block! :banghead: She was full of water in the oil. Looks like she froze one winter in storage and swelled up. :oops: So i guess i...

Here is a few shots of the fender work done on the worst of the fenders. Lots of fab work to get em all metal again but here they both sit in primer and solid!! Thanks all.

One question, or poll i should ask, do i keep the 273 or go for a lil more fun like a 318? I have to rebuild the 273 anyway so i figure why not get a lil more bang for my buck. Go for a bigger block and then have money well spent on a car i plan on holding onto, as i have done for so many...

Hey all, just to let you know that after a good almost year i am finally back on the cuda! I do have both fenders finally done and in primer, and hopefully this upcoming FEB we are pulling her out of her storage and pulling the motor, doing a tear down, and then putting her up on the lift to...

hey muad'dib15, im located on the north side of milwaukee, by mequon. Ive actually only seen one white 66 cruising around brown deer time to time, but havent seen it in about two years. There is also a bone stock baby blue one that shows up at a local car show around here too!

Thanks. Remember, the car is form NH originally, where i am from. So she has seen a lot of new england winters. But i was pleasantly surprised how solid these fenders were. Sometimes you cant find em in better shape so i lucked out!

SO nothing fancy this week, but got the fenders back from the acid dippers and surprisingly they were more left to em then i thought. Both need a lot of welding, one more than the other. The drivers side had a bunch of old patches in it. I figured for progress sake i would start on the less of...

nice start, saw you stop by my page. Looks like we can go through this process of resto together! Keep in touch!

Sorry i missed last week guys....Awesome allergies with the weather. Thanks for the replies regarding floor pans. I think i will go the route of buying em instead of making my own. I snagged a few pics of my current floor pans. You can see where my father had previously patched the front...

thanks jim, ill check into it!!! Love to see progress on your fish as well!

Sorry but not to much to report this week. Limited time cuz i was off to the milwaukee car show. But i did get the fenders off, and although they are really rough, finding new ones is near impossible. i will be sending these out tuesday to get acid dipped adn see what metal i have left to...

Don't worry it won't be yellow! That was back when i was all for changing everything (1998). I am going back to some form of red, most likely brighter than the stock color. As for the car, it sat stock with a 273 which she still has, only added a high rise manifold with four barrel...

Hey everyone here! I am new to FABO and love it! Ran across a member's resto page and it jump started my hunger to maybe have my Cuda meet the pavement again! SO here goes...i have had this baby since 1996, my freshman year of high school. i drove her til 1998 where since then she has sat...
