    Looks great, you are gonna put it all back together, motor, rear end, front suspension, and everything to trailer it to a car show, then tear it all back down again, for blocking and paint, man, your a work horse. When I did the body work on my road runner, I think I swept the garage 100 times, I didn`t have air tools, I used the rubber sanding block and a body board, it took me 3 months, hehe. This Cuda is gonna be a beast and it should handle like a go cart. My buddy had a stock 440 Cuda, and I tell you what, it was a handfull keeping it in a straight line, he had a cam, aluminum intake, and some head work done on the 906 heads, that thing was scary on the side streets, love the build, glad your taking us along for the ride.

    Please do what most others dont do as they should when fully restoring a classic muscle car such as this. Paint the whole outside and interior and bottom and top of vehicle before u install anything and i mean anything such as wiring and tubing and gas lines and engine harnesses and other etc paint the whole entire body before doing anything and make sure paint is top notch before installing anything please we dont normally or usually get to see this process on other youtuber car rebuilders sadly only a few. This js why ur channel is far better then most so keep up the great work Rust bucket Restos❤ u deserve a million subscribers just thought id mention that u are sadly underrated but i do truly love ur channel. And hope u reach ur goal. Please dont give up ❤

    I would definitely choose an OE color that Chrysler offered for Cudas in 1971. Some of the modern color choices would not look right on that body style and if touch ups or repaints are necessary and OE paint code is easier to duplicate. I vote for paint code DT8549, evening blue.

    Great episode. Can't wait for the body work, paint and interior. I seem to remember when you started this build you said something like for the most part, it will look almost exactly factory, with all the goodies kind of hidden away. That would be awesome. Would love to see this car in black, with white graphics. I don't recall seeing many black classic Cudas/Challengers. This car is going to be so sweet, most any color would look great on it. Your vids are very instructional. Although I'll never attempt anything like this, I've often wondered how some of this work is done. Now I know. P.S. I still love Mustangs, still have my show Mustang, and I am still glad you didn't block me for it the last time. LOL! (I love ALL classic muscle cars)

    I am normally a Chevy guy (well I do like all kinds of Classic Muscle cars) 70-71 Cuda is one car I would love to own. really liking the way this one is turning out. (I would have stuck with the flat original hood as really no-one is keeping the standard hood on them)

    Excellent Job Dave! Can't say it enough!

    Green with Envy color. It was a metallic pearl paint. Offered only on 2011 Challengers. Also like Inferno Red. It was a red metallic that we had on a 1996 Chrysler Concord. The color seemed to change in subsequent years.

    I was looking forward to you redoing the window trim. But the valuable information on body filler more than makes up for it. I’m sure we can discount green altogether. Will it be a Dodge modern color? I think a burnt amber would be cool.

    • @rustbucketrestos6511
