First thing you need to do HCX Perfomance is chop the quarters off put a straight cuda body line on or no one will buy your cars. From there put 71 style cuda' tail lights on and please put a flat hood or a cuda' hood on. The grill will have to be a 71 cuda grill style grill. Those black rims are hideous and im not meaning to slam you or what you plan to do, just trying to help you guys out. Put a set of 15' Rally wheels and some meaty tires and a straight axle dana 60. The billboards look too plain will have to have 392 or whatever the motor is.
We're not going for a an exact "replica" of the 71 Cuda, just a 71 Cuda inspired re-creation. Of course up close, picking the thing apart, you'll be able to list off several details which are not true to the Cuda. We want to build a vehicle that resembles the 71 Cuda, and has a sticker price most Challenger buyers could afford (either new from a dealership, or upgrading their Challenger to an HXC). The main goal is to build a vehicle that at first glance, whether at a car show, on the street, or flying down the highway, will make people think of the Cuda (the Banners being the reason).
If the aftermarket gets slammed with a ton of 71 Cuda parts; front grill, tail lights, etc.. I have no problem building a more customized version of our car to get as close to a replica 71 Cuda as possible. For our first vehicle though, this is the direction we are going.
We are building what We feel is cool. From the bright retro-colors, to the black wheels, silver brembos, and most importantly the banners.
We want to build a complete car, that anyone could take home, get tons of looks on the street, and feel happy about their purchase, while at the same time, leave enough of the vehicle alone to allow individuals to further upgrade as they see fit. Our base vehicle will have all the visual "Bang", while keeping costs down everywhere else so we can get this vehicle in Dodge showrooms for a price that many can actually afford. Down the road we'll have a Supercharged version, as well as something even hotter, with much more exterior and interior modifications.
