We have been making progress on the 67 Cuda fastback.
we have cut out rot and hand fabed trunk panels and qrtr. panels in the past few days. Also worked on the trunk lid and got it back into shape. we will be working on floors and trans. hump soon. then ill fab new rear window channels after I make a visit to a friends house to use his shrinker. I can hardly wait to get to paint!!! Here are a few pictures.
Thanks for listening!....

Looking good! Just checked out the work you did on your grills. Amazing!
I hope that aint a bruise on your thumb! LOL
 
Nope, just proof of hard work all weekend.
I tried to upload more photos but it said I have exceeded the allowable amount of space.

LOL, lotsa scrapes and bruises to come. Have fun and keep up the good work.
Maybe try re-sizing your pics so you can post more?? I can usually post 10 at a time.

Cheers
 
Here are a few more pictures from this weeks work on the car.
I made new inner fender patch pannels to fill in where they were cut out to fit the exhaust thru for a 440. I am putting the same engine the car came with back in it. Only thing is it's not stock any more. it has been rebuilt for a LOT MORE POWER!

I fabed my own inner fender patches. Ya, I know they arn't correct looking, but it's by design. I'm using the extra room behind the pass. side to help hide the heater hoses to and from the new Vintage Air system I'm going to install after I finnish up filling in all the holes in the firewall that are not going to be used. I can also hide an MSD Ignition box behind either side. I'm hoping it will make for a cleaner look when finnished. I appologize in advance for offending any of you tru blue guys. I have to do what I have to do.
 
This is a picture of the inner fenders prior to starting the patch panels.
Sorry for the blue picture. Weird flash I think.:eek:ops:

Looks good,like the 3 window coupe due to be chopped. (Yes!).
 
My son and I are making some progress. Won't be long now. Only another seven years L.O.L! I pray not...
Lots of fabrication, Mig and Tig welding nd even rebuilding upper and lower control arms with all new bushings and ball joints.
