Who here likes classics?

Here's a few pictures of a 1970 'Cuda we just finished up and a 1968 Charger that we're restoring for a customer. The challenger is a 440 auto car, and the Charger will be a Hemi 4-speed car.

I'll get some pictures later on of the 1978 Trans-Am we're restoring for a customer as well. That car is following the resto-mod theme, being fitted with a worked over LS3, T-56, tubular front K-member with coilovers on all corners, 20" snowflake wheels, etc. It's going to be an awesome car once it's done.

OEM body panels? I know how hard it is to get fender/door/trunk gaps to line up on older cars, that looks great!

It's been a long morning. I also don't know my ass from a hole in the ground when it comes to Mopar stuff.

Yeah, we spent a lot of time on those doors. The car had some rust, which we repaired. There was someone in there before who had done previous repairs as well.

I'll get some of that once the car starts to come together. The body is done, but, it's just sitting under a cover waiting for parts. That's a more long-term restoration.

it says 'cuda on the tail light panel

 

[SHARKBITEATTACK]

Good stuff. Anybody ever see that purple cuda with the blower stick through the hood around the chi burbs?

 

[Outlaw]

That car sounds familiar. I think I've seen it at some cruise nights.

Memories...

My brother had a blue 340 'Cuda back in the day. I was with him when he spun it in a 60 mph 360 on 95th St. in Justice. Good times.

Me!

Looking forward to seeing that '78 TA, too.

The '78 T/A is a more long-term project. We just finished doing the hood, side and rear decklid stripes on a 1971 Oldsmobile 442 W-30. The car had stripes on it previously, but they were vinyl stripes as opposed to the correct paint. Here's some pictures of us laying out the stripes and the (almost) finished product!

That's a sharp car. That's been at that Baltria dealership for a while.

They've been displaying that Cuda proudly since it left your shop too! I pass by there every day and it's always front and center outside when it's nice weather.

Yeah, it's a nice car. Unfortunately, whoever owned it before Baltria purchased it didn't do a very good restoration. There were a lot of things that were incorrect with the stripes, underhood color, etc... Me knowing a few things about these W machines helped a lot too, and, we were able to get the car mostly correct for a decent price. I'm happy with the outcome.

Love that color on that 1971 Olds.....

Been a while since I've been down to Baltria. Hmmm....
