Fish Shouldn't Rust
Hay all!
Just wanted to do this right and intriduce myself.
I posted earlier in the week under a parts wanted post.
I found the parts Ive been looking for, Thanks...
My son and I are restoring a 67 Cuda fastback as a senior project for him.
It needs to be compleated in three years for his graduation.
The car is almost compleatly srtipped down after three weeks. Actually, only three Saturdays. Were getting the fish ready for sandblasting, then from there we will begin cutting out the floorboards and trunk floors that are rotted out. Then the small amount of rear quarter pannel cancer.
Front fenders have a few whisky dents in them. That is, it looks like someone hit a few mailboxes after drinking a few but there not that bad.
The engine is the origional 273 bored 30 over with 10.1 compression, 340 crank and rolling a purple Hemi grind purple shaft cam. adjustable rocker arms, small crank pully direct connection cooling system. it has the old Edelbrock LD 4b 318 intake. It has the origional 727 Trans with shift kit, reverse shift pattern. Deep oil-pan. 8 3/4 rear-end posi. Hooker headers. No miles on any of them. all fresh builds out of stock I had from back in the day. I hope it'll be a screamer without me needing to go and get a 440. I'm on a tight budget, as I'm sure everyone is.
Anyways, i'll be posting pictures as the build gets going. I'm hopefull we will make some new friends and get some good advise from the experience that you all have. :newb:
