Isn’t it nice to have a car that you can actually “wench-on” without having to breakout a computer. I like the fastback Chryslers from the early-mid 60’s….as they did (and do) standout in today’s world of “cookie-cutter” styles. The only down side to the big back window glass is that it can turn the interior into a “hot-house” in the summer……
You should have a lot of fun with the Cuda…..any plans for the Cuda that you would care to share?

Thank god it's not a 65 Barracuda (aka "World's Ugliest Car"). It's amazing how such a simple change as getting rid of the bubble rear window on the 65s (which, if memory serves me, was the largest rear windows ever installed on an American car) and bringing the body panels up higher on the sides changed the car from tacky to tasteful.

Good point:

I like "MOST" of the fastback Chryslers from the early-mid 60’s….as they did (and do) standout in today’s world of “cookie-cutter” styles. The only down side to the big back window glass is that it can turn the interior into a “hot-house” in the summer……

Topped off with black leather seats, I might add.
But it would be nice to lay that back seat down and sleep under the stars without fear of rain.
I'm hoping to go power wash the boy's engine bay and some other stuff.
But we have to get him registered first.

We'll get the exterior and interior done before we go ahead with Go-Fast Goodies.
If we do some goodies, the top of the list would be.

1. Dual Exhaust
2. New rear end
3. Lead Foot

Any other CHEAP Suggestions, Or any other things you would add to Cuder?

Raised white letter tires. This can be accomplished cheaply with a stick of Tire Chalk (if you can find that) or a bottle of Testors model paint and a tiny brush.

I think he's too young to buy Testors don't give him any ideas.

Do you and your dad a big favor Tanner and use your forum connections for the best pricing.
I dont sell a converter for a manual, but can always get you great deals on a clutch if needed, and MANY transmission related items. This is not a for profit post.

Many others here have connections they have had for years as well. It pays to be connected, and you are.

I don't high with paint and glue. I get with MOPAR!
Thanks Andre!
So Tanner's got no homework.
Everyone knows what that means.

[sm=gears.gif] Joy Riding! NOT.
That's not how I roll.
But I suspect I'll be gettin the coveralls out.
In the meantime I'll most likely go shopping for some new shirts.
And yes. I am a kid who wears name brand shirts.
But, Only ones under $10.
Well, the parents pay for it.[sm=yeahsmile.gif]
