From the get go Dad and I accumulated a lot of parts for the build. The following photos are some of the major parts purchased (new and custom made) to Dad's specific tastes. The aim for the 'Cuda is to be a 100% street driven car with modern upgrades and performance mods all while keeping close to a factory appearing car. Similar to Lucy but nowhere near as "strict", modern gauges, modern seats and some other modern upgrades taking it several steps further. Dad and I both prefer the factory look but Dad wanted comfort and driveability to be #1 on his build list, followed by looks, then performance.

What modern upgrades we did incorporate into the build were "hidden" as best as possible, subtle being the key word. Basically, nothing too wild (ie: Foose style) not even close, we just upgraded parts as we saw fit. These parts include the rebuilt 340ci engine, custom Dr-Diff Dana 60 rear end, XV Motorsports body stiffening and level 1 suspension system, tyres, wheels, disc brake kit and various other new parts. With all the major parts sourced, it should be a relatively quick and easy build. Very exciting!
