Fla 66 Cuda. Where in Florida are you?

 

[Budnicks]

Thanks for sharing, Great shots, it brought back some good memories... I love that Hemi Powered 49 Ford Business Coupe, needs some work but it's a cool concept, I had one 13-14 years ago now, when I still lived in Concord, Ca., off Waterfall way, it was slammed on the ground, 17x33's weld super lite wheels, narrowed 9", tubbed, ladders, coil overs etc., full tube chassis, with a 8:71 blown/inj. Milidon Mastodon 526 Hemi, instead of the typical SB Cheby you see in all older rods {although it did start out with a 496 BBC, I latter changed to the Hemi}...

I'm on vacation this week and i finally got back on the charger today passenger side is finally stripped [finished the door and fender today] tomorrow is body work day and primer then on to finishing the roof. we are shooting for a march 2013 completion date so we can take it to Mopars at Merit's [may not have an interior]. We shall see what happens.

I wish you luck for a March deadline! Ive tried that so many times with past cars ive done and never once seemed to meet the date, close but it can be done... You've come along way, i have followed along with your photo-bucket link.. Haven't been there lately but i love to watch the progress on a lot of cars here, ive learned a lot now if i could turn some time back, maybe id be better equipped lol.. Some, a lot of things ive seen on this site is something, things that most would not even think about trying, sometimes i do think the best of restorers can be found right here.

Thanks Ron73, all the work i have done and replacement patches were made with 2-2x4s in a vice as a metal break,a 2 inch round pipe,ballpean hammers,with a borrowed welder-all by a guy whom has never fabricated,welded,done body work,painted, but that was a year ago i'm no expert but i have learned a lot the most useful things i learned was why guys that do this for a living charge what they do and after this i may not do another, i'm friggen tired!!!!!!!!

My folks used to live in Palm Harbor. Great area but I never felt safe driving on RT 19 due to the blue hairs.

 

[fla 66 cuda]

HaHa neither do i, i have lived here all my life [except my military tours] and i hate U.S.19 with a passion, i do drive it every morning to work [but at 5:30am it ain't horrible]. In front of the mobilehome park i live in it's 8 lanes wide [not including the 2 left turn lanes].

Thanx for for the slide show.Awsome

I'm not crazy about 19 either. I cring when I realize I'll need to travel any distance more than a mile or so on that road.
FL could take a lesson from TX on their access/frontage roads.
The ones in TX allow you to get on/off almost anywhere.
On 19, as soon as you see your destination, it's already too late to get off.

 

[fla 66 cuda]

Well they are putting in overpasses on the rest of the major east/west roadways supposed to be done in 2014 [yea right] with service roads to get to busnesses. I used to live in Virginia and they had frontage roads along side the major roads it was kinda a pain if you were not sure where you were going you would have to turn around.
