Cuda at SEMA

[Bob Johnson]

A 0 to 200 to 0 challenge at the year one event, or simply on the East Coast would be phenomenal. Please keep us abreast of new information.

Maxton has the mile required..it's just a little rough and not easy to hook up..We're seriously considering carrying the Cuda to their first 2006 run in April..East Coast Timing Association..Maxton N. C. I think Hot Rod Mag will be covering it..If we go, PHR will also be there to cover the Cuda

[Bob Johnson]

I-85 is right there, Problem solved LOL
I hope you make that show, I will see you there.
As far as PHR goes, I am now looking forward to TWO issues coming out in the next couple months.

I-985 is also right there..and a lot less traffic.

I was going to recommend Maxton in my initial post, but I thought there might not be enough stopping distance and / or run off. I'm planning on running my car at Maxton when complete, I'd love to see the Cuda down there running.

I've heard Maxton requires a parachute (even if not in use?) for all cars running over 160mph; I wonder if this will be discontinued for the 0-200-0 event?

Gee what could be the other issue you want to see Bill.

the car was very close to being somewhat of a lime green. my 56 Ford Triton V/10 pick-up and my 47 woodie were both green...seemed like lots of people just don't like green...I wanted a panther pink color but Alan Johnson and designer Chris Itoh both nearly had a heart attack..I had just shoved the dual headlights and billboards down their unapproving throats so I gave in on the color and we all agreed on orange..I think it was the right move

So that awesome Cuda is yours? I remember gawking over you V10 Effie at the 25th Super Nats. My friend and I spoke with you briefly. I took tons of pictures of that truck It was simply amazing. The yellow wheels on the green truck was the killer thing for me.

bob, welcome, i was wondering when you were going to sign-up .
bob has some of the best cars ever build in his car stable, built by one of the best builders ! but my favorite is the woody , i would kill for the car - need anybody to come up missing ?

[Steve Chryssos]

seems like everyone is concerned about the 20" wheels...

It's good to see that you guys planned multiple setups for the car (i.e. street and race). Too many folks assume that if the car is too slick or too expensive that it won't get used. K&K Insurance offers competition coverage, so running a high end car is not such a risky proposition.

I'm looking forward to the Maxton test.

i didn't see ot anywhere so... what is the weight of the bad boy?

The Cuda has a chute mount behind the tag..we remove the tag and 2 chutes mount behind where the tag was..it also has a full fire system

[Bob Johnson]

don't we all?

[fletcherscustoms]

wow

I would have to say it's one of the most innovative/impressive car ever built and I look forward to seeing it in person and seeing more build pictures of the car. To me it’s not about the finished car it’s about what it took to get it there.

It's cars like this that move the car building hobby in new directions. Even if most people can only dream of building a car like this at least they can learn new ideas. If everyone did the same thing over and over again it would get very boring.

Oh man, I could have alot of fun with a parachute....

Ingenious design.

Ahhh...Nice to see Bob figured out how to post. I think Bob said there will be a big article in the April issue of Popular Hotrodding. That should be a hot selling issue. Bob says he is gonna buy me the Futureliner at Barrett-Jackson...Thanks Bob..

Yea, we are doing a HUGE story on it.. think in terms of a MEGE-Feature.. lol

We also want to do a feature on the "details" of the car and on the build up.

Johnny will be spending 3 days shooting it and he has a TON of special photo gear, should be cool.

[Steve1968LS2]

You said that right. The guy has an amazing eye.

That's why I listen to everything he tells me about photography..

So are you guys going to change the seats when you do the 0-200-0? Do you think the low back seats would be a good idea for that kinda speed?
