Moving on, we finished minting out the body......

We have never been accused of being cheap or fast but we do treat a car like a star.

We taped off the original VIN door decal in an effort to preserve the authenticity of the car. VIN # BS27HOB163146 documents this car as #4 of 4, the closeup car. Interestingly enough, this car may have been the only REAL 'Cuda used in the show! Of the four built for the show only one was a '71. That car (#3) was originally a 318 which was swapped to a 440 for the show. Funny, that car was an automatic which may be the reason you never heard a gear change during the driving scenes. Makes sense considering; that was the car used for the sound bites! Another tid-bit? It also had a pistol grip shifted automatic. This one is a true 4-speed car. Ironically, #3 was sold on Ebay last year and as I write this it is on Ebay again after a recent repaint. Wonder if they dug as deep as we did, and what they found.

We've since moved on to the suspension. In typical Totally Auto fashion, we primped, powdered and plated everything. See the POWDER COATING section of our website for more on this process, (PLUG). Hey we didn't plug our parts and services for 3 pages now, give me a break. See 'ya soon with more on this over-the-top restoration.
