Body in white

So here it is, the body in white! Finally all the bare metal of the 'Cuda is covered in the first coat of primer. This is the way race teams used to recieve their cars from the factory prior to building a racecar...
The engine compartement was treated as if the panels were part of the outside of the car, as they can be seen once the hood is opend to look at the engine!


Special attention was given to the doorjambs, where the new quarterpanels were grafted on to the body. No messy weld seams will spoil the apperance once you open the doors.

The new sail panel fits perfectly, the rear window was test fitted, as well as the windshield so that there will be no surprises when they are to be installed.




All new sheetmetal in the trunk, where the 'Cuda was most rusty...

More welding




Halftime at the bodyshop.

The trunkfloor is in the car, along with the rear upper valance, all of the inner fenders and a lot of little bits and pieces that had to be made from scratch. the quarters are hanging on for size, before they go on the rear window cranks will have to be installed. Most of the pieces are a pretty good fit, only the trunk extensions are of miserable quality.
