Cuda at SEMA

[Bob Johnson]

Just got the mag yesterday. Coverage is awesome. I've been following the build here but I'm still in awe. I don't quite understand the Eagle rods, but the car is no doubt the Baddest Musclecar Ever!!!! Congrats

I take it this beast will be at Goodguys Columbus?

Indy Cylinder Head is a big Eagle Rod Fan..They have had great success with them. They were in charge of the whole engine project.. The only thing I questioned was them not coating the pistons. They don't generally coat pistons in their engines, but they build primarily drag engines. I knew I was going to be a little over the line with 12 to 1 compression..(even though it turned out only to be 11.5 to 1), so I wanted the pistons coated for detonation protection. Everything else was done as Indy desired. They were also not big on fuel injection at that point, so we had to use a carb and intake for the initial dyno run. They are warming up to injection more now. BTW, I think I saw several guys in the Engine Masters Challenge that were running Eagle Rods. It is definately our plan to be at Columbus. Carlilse is having the all Mopar show and wants the Cuda bad. Be a whole lot more lucrative to take it to Carlilse, but I have been close but no cigar in Goodguys Truck, Street machine, Street Rod of the year and Americas Most Beautiful Street Rod of year etc. In the finals on all, but never won..That's why this car is so over the top.

Doug id love to take a long look at the cuda. WHEN i see it. which will probably be sometime in the next 3 months im hoping. but i should have seen it yesterday

Papa Doug says if you'd been hitting the books harder, you would have been here. hit those books young man. Can't build a solid house without a good foundation. Your education and the knowledge gained is the foundation for your house (your adult life). Little sacrifice now pays dividends for years to come..Your pappy knows his stuff..follow his advice and you will not go wrong.

i am also an eagle rod fan

Alan needs me until he can transition onto Doug's tit.

Damn if I would take that Alan. He knows we can keep him on life support for quite a while, don't let him off that easy......

[Bob Johnson]

Alan, Wesley (Alan's Father), and Doug came over yesterday. Doug bought the 37 Slant Back Ford I had sold Lamar Lewellen a couple of years ago. They came up to see my and Miltons places, then we went to the World of Wheels. Alan brought THE magazine with him. I ain't talkin Playboy or Hustler, I'm talkin APRIL 2006 PHR baby. I just hope it sells better than last months issue..I'll never hear the end of it from that Tennessee Hillybilly Impersonator we all love and admire if it doesn't. Took them to the Varsity before we went to the car show. Got them some Chili Dogs, Glorifieds, Fries, Onion Rings, and Dougey a CHICKEN SALAD SANDWICH. I said damn man that's sacrilegious. Yam Dankees..Frank Gordy rolled over in his frikken grave...someone coming into the Varsity and doesn't eat a hot dog. No one could believe the stack of raw onions they give you for your hot dogs. I'll bet they've wasted a million tons of onions in that place in the 60+ years they've been around. Take that glorified, put about 5 or so fried onion rings on that puppy, compress it enough to get it in your pie hole and VIOLA..MAGIC..Look at page 37..The Phuk wad with the two heads..that's me..guess who didn't stand still like Hunkins ordered..I can't help it if I'm antsy..but to give me two heads..one's bad enough to look at..I could use the extra brain power though. Chris, Alan, Johnsons Hot Rod Shop, and myself want to thank Johnny Hunkins for coming over here when he was sick as a dog and working his tail off in the freezing cold..You too Stephen Kim..you were a trooper too..Your editorial was killer..even though I had to get out the FUNK And WANGELS to understand some of those high falootin words you were usin.

Let's just say they're Paul Atkins seats. He made them look the way they look. I'm not giving these guys any coverage since they haven't done anything they told me they were going to do

Remember, per dollar spent, you will have to sell about 8 times as many as last month, or I still beat you.....

As the black street player said to the highly educated Ivy League Black Young Man..yeah.. but can you whip my a*s?

I don't know Bob, in that picture on page 53 I thought you were peeing on the front tire, but you kept a good poker face...

[1970cuda]

new phrasing...what type of seats are those before paul adkins did what he did to them. i like the lower back with harness coming thru them

[F70t/a]

They look like recaro seats that have been modified, but could be wrong.

[1970cuda]

that is what i think too but i want to make sure and if so what model before modification

[Bob Johnson]

I was at the World of Wheels Car Show this week-end. I saw a stand set up that said "COOTER SIGNING AUTOGRAPHS 5-9PM"..I said now why didn't somebody tell me I was supposed to be here signing autographs..Damn I thought I was somebody.. I got up there and sat down...few minutes later this red neck walks up and told me to get up..I said why..he said I'm COOTER..I said so am I. He said I was an imitator/impersonator..Now I know how The REAL feels. I was a celebrity for a moment..felt pretty good..till the fat, ugly, snaggle tooth biatches wanted a kiss..

[Bill Howell]
