It's been slow going here in Texas because of the heat. Today was 70's and beautiful and I finally got to enjoy working in the shop. My friend Max and I got the front suspension and K-frame off and disassembled. I think I'm going to sent the K frame and control arms out to get powder coated...

Welcome to my world!!!

Economy Plating, Mesquite Tx. I dont know what shipping would be, but they did 2 bumpers for me for $300 total... from this to this:

Finished the paint last night, changed from Silver/Blue to Black/Blue... I think it's growing on me. 408 should be out of the shop in a week or so. Got to find me a a918 or 46RH overdrive trans.

Some new pics...

Here's a few new pics... getting ready to paint. Going with a two tone silver/blue scheme. Didn't mean to do it, but it ended up being Dallas Cowboy colors. Also a shot of my 408 stroker short block and disassembled 8 3/4 posi unit and my disc break retrofit parts.

Local shop here north of Dallas that the body shop knows, I don't have their invoice yet, but I'll post their info as soon as I have it. They did a decent job, definitely not show quality but excellent for a daily driver, and best of all they are the original bumpers. I love keeping old steel...

Not too bad, from this, to this for $300 for the pair.

The tunnel work was done with a temporary transmission bracket just to hold it in place. I'll post detailed pics when we start fabricating the new cross member.

More pics of the tunnel work and some quarter panel patches.

I picked this up over the winter, mainly as a fun project to work on with my best friend Max, who's had a 65 Cuda since high school, which means I have a readily available, veritable walking, talking dictionary on rebuilding an old Cuda. Plan is to do a top shelf body/paint restoration...
