A couple of in progress pics. Before any painting. Note the condition of the old edging. Literally no chrome left.

A little peek-a-boo at my little gem nearing the finish line with the metal replacement. I’ve owned it since 1978 and it’s been off the road since the mid ‘80’s. Few people know I own it. A true ‘Cuda 340 automatic, one of 1788 made that first year for the E body. We’ll see a lot more of this neglected car after the Maxwedge is on the street and this is in my shop.

I think I may name her Procrastination.

One little piece of jewelry for the Dodge. Huge tubes in this triple pass radiator. I’ll do a video once the car gets back in my own shop, showing off all the cool stuff.

My last video was 1/9/23. All I have right now are photos to document the metal replacement that started 5 days later. This old car had been patched up several different times so it was a bigger mess than I thought when I purchased it. GearZ had to do lots of patchwork fabrication due to the old patch panels that came with the car are a very poor fit and not large enough for our needs. I’m stoked to get it back and whip it into shape.
