Thread: For my Mopar brethren.

  1. #1

    For my Mopar brethren.

    I know there are a few other fellow Mopar fans here. Yesterday I installed the headliner and vinyl top on a 69 Cuda. What is so special about that? Well it is a Mod car. Full factory Mod interior and top. These are pretty rare (and yes, pretty ugly) and we did the seats over the weekend. The car has to be finished by this Friday for a show.


    Here a a few thumbnails. You can click on them for a larger image.



    While we ere there they were finishing the prep work on this Mr. Norm's Hemi Cuda. They took a Challenger, welded on different quarters and did a ton of other custom work to it. It has a supercharged Hemi and is just bad to the bone!



    Next up we will be doing a real 1968 Hemi Dart. True factory race car that they only made about 50 of. Fiberglass front end, skimpy van seats, no window regulators but instead a strap to pull the glass up with, etc. They were built for a class of drag racing which I believe they still own the records in. It also looks like they are redoing one of the Hemi Under Glass cars so we'll get to do that one too. I sure can't afford any of these but it is fun to at least be able to work on them.

    Mopar or no car!

    That is the first green mod top cuda I've seen!
    Normally they're yellow. Satellites are blue.
    Did you know that there was at least one '70 E body? It was yellow. Seen it at the Nats years ago. It was in the for sale pits.
    Yep, I'm in the know
    Wants, original parts; Gals hair wraps. Black Knight; one wing for helm.
    It's the quiet ones you gotta watch!

    SS Hemi Dart.



    One of the Hemi Under Glass cars.



    We finished the Mod Cuda.



    A couple more Mr. Norm GSS Demons awaiting resto. One is a supercharged 340 and the other is a 340 six pack.



    Here is the epitome of a bad day! This Hemi Cuda convertible had a pole fall on it at a car show.




    And an Aussie Valiant, right hand drive with a Hemi 6 cylinder.
