I have been checking out your Cuda..You have done some nice work on it so far.. My Cuda is just a stock 225 auto and a 7 1/4 rear end.. I just put the 225 in it a couple of months ago. Sure is a lot more fun to drive than when it had the 170 in it...

Man, I love '66 darts as well. I actually used to have a '65 that was turned into a '66. Commando 273 4/speed 8 3/4 car. I have been kicking myself in the A for many years for getting rid of that car. But the irony is that just about 4 blocks down the street from me is a '66 GT that I can get my hands on. Wouldn't that be cool to have a few members that actually own both?? By the way, I love both of your guy's cars.

I have a '65 Formula S. I've had it since '71. No recent pics, I'm in the process of redoing it again. Here's a pic of how I built it in the early '70s.

The body has held up pretty well considering it was always outside, until I bought my house in '85. The lower quarters have some rust issues where I had cut out the wheel openings for tire clearance. Once I got inside, the mice got into the interior trashed the interior. By the way you have a couple of nice cars yourself, I really like the stance of the '73.

The old hood scoop & steel hood is gone, replaced with a fiberglass hood & 6pak hood scoop. I've still got a little glass work to do molding that in. I've tied the subframes together & I'm moving the springs in. I've go the b-body 8-3/4 narrowed & the moser axles. Plan to get the body redone & painted purple with some multi-color graphics. Plan to re-upholster in gray with accents to match the graphics. The best part for last I want to build a stroker motor for it. I'm progressing slowly it's that time & money thing.

Thanks for the compliment. From what I can see in the pic, it looks like the body on your car is excellent. I think your really going to like that 360 once you get it in there.
