I finally was able to get started on the cuda,Plans are to go with a gen3 hemi tremec 5 or 6 speed alterkation and street lynx suspension 4 wheel willwood brakes, Tore the body down and welded in frame connectors on suspension. I finished welding them in on the rotiserie . Added lower brace and boxed the upper supports.I have the front suspension mocked up as I am going with the Alterkation . I am doing this before I get ready to have the car media blasted.I will put in my boxed sections after it comes back from the blaster. Check out my progress guys as this is my first pro-touring build any ideas are greatly appreciated .

The car came back from the blaster today. The floors ,firewall and the underside was blasted. I will media blast the outer panels with a different blaster at a later date.Looks mostly solid with a few patches in the floor . I used POR 15 in the hard to reach areas and soaked it into the seams.

Suspension installed! That was a easy install , Reilly Motorsports makes it simple with their instuctions. I will be working on the brakes and hydroboost next.
