# dxg1997 : I use that same upholsterer for my vehicles I work on in the shop! I think her name is Sue...

So I did a little snooping and turns out the chassis number for the Cuda isn't actually registered for a grey Cuda, but Plum Crazy Purple, one of the rarer colors, and also my personal favorite. It's also a bitch to get right in a paint shop, because it's a sort of pearlescent and metallic mix thing. It's a gorgeous color in the sunlight though. I also found the guy who has the ORIGINAL 440 motor mounted inside of a Nova... Not my first choice of vehicle for such a monstrous engine. Anyways, I'm gonna go talk to the guy and offer him my 305 from the Chevy as a project, and 200 bucks. I dropped the 340 off at an engine place to be professionally rebuilt. I ordered a whole Edelbrock rebuild, complete with supercharger. We'll see how it looks when I get back in 3 DAYS. They do really good work there. (It's in east Valo, Harbour street)

I'm finding some pretty neat shit for that Cuda. It's a factory AC car, power steering, and from the factory, came with a 4 speed Torqflite tranny. Those were REALLY rare for back then, because most vehicles had 3 speeds. I'm following a set of fenders and a front fascia on eBay... hoping I can snag them

Wow, looks like you got a real gem there. I can get a HEMI for it if you want. You can also drop by and pick up the sound system from the wagon; I don't need it since I will haul stuff in the wagon. Same with the exhaust tip. I installed one that sticks out less to the rear...

Since dxg got my new project car, I went around the yard where I work and I found a 1970 340 Barracuda:


Also my dad showed up and gave me his old 1966 Nova SS:



I will restore the Cuda if I can get all the parts and turn the Nova into a drag car. Good thing that my work place has some old MOPAR engines lying around. My boss is really cool about it and gives me a nice discount. :D
