I was at the Rutland Car Show on Sunday . When this guy named Andrew came up to me and wanted to make short video tour of the truck to put on YouTube. So here it is. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nWnWOIn76yM OOPS could someone move this to the Vintage truck Forum for me.

Yes I am about 20 miles east of Albany . The Cuda has been put on the back burner. My Mom is ill so I have not had as much free time. That is why we did not make it to Carlisle this year. We got invited to a invitation only show in Boston at the Rutland show but had to turn it down

There's a little red express wasting away about a mile from here that just sits behind a business. I see it and I think what a waste. It should be looking like the one here. Simply awesome, man!

Wow. I think I'll just give up, I'm so far from that kind of result!
Just curious, though, if you don't mind my asking...how many hours do you reckon you put into that? And how much dough?

I am not really sure on either one. I stopped keeping track of the money when it started slowing me down. I got a great rate on my credit card and just lit it up. I would say around 25,000. I try not to think about the money. Time was 3 years of nights and weekends along with holidays.
P.S. don't give up the more you do the more you learn . The better each project gets.

LOL The hood just clears. That is why I had to go with the Challenger hood . It was good for 2".
I also wanted to say that I think you are a great asset to this site . It seems like you are always helping someone with something on here.

Naaaw. Squirrels and rabbits. This way, their already skinned, dressed and stew meat. All you gotta do is pick the meat out of the pine trees and throw it in the crock-pot ..... Mmmmmmm .... Squirrel Chile ..... MMMMMMMM!!!!! :D

Hey, thanks bud.... I appreciate it. I really do. I may not always be 'right' about something (Who ever is?) But a lot of times, I can at least say "This is the way you DON'T wanna do it" :D :D :D
Of course, I haven't dropped a V-10 under the hood of a vintage 70's rig... So my hat is waaaay 'off' to you! ;)

Hey LebaronDude, absolutely beautiful work on the truck. Can I ask did you buy the hood somewhere or make one yourself? I am resto modding my Dad's old club cab p/u and have given serious thought to attempting to graft the top of an old cuda hood onto the truck hood to get that look. Obviously would be much easier to buy one if someone is making them.
