Guys, due to other investments, I am having to put my beast up for sale. It is on Ebay as now, but may not show up for a few hours. If you or anyone else is interested, please send them my direction.
I really wated to see you build that car Tuck. Best of luck with the sale. I know this can't make you happy seeing it go before you got to complete her. Josh
The frame is ready to be lengthened, and then it is a simple cutting of the floor out of the Cuda, and then fabricating a new floor for the Viper. There isn't much to lengthening a frame. Fabricating the floor and the firewall is the only really big part of the build. After that, everything else is just bolt it all back together, and finish the body work.
Just curious, would you say the car is about 50% finish? It looks like there still a lot of work to be done.

Hard to really say. It really all depends on how far you want to take the car. It could be running and driving in about three months, then it is ready for interior and body work.
The beauty of a project like this is once the fabrication is done, the rest is just bolting the car back together. This isn't suspension fabricating, motor mount issues, motor build issues, etc....So, you get through the fabrication of the floor of the car, the rest is just run of the mill body work.
There's a guy up here in the Northeast Worcester, Ma. area who did this to an old Cuda.
It's like a greenish color.
Had the Viper motor, put in all the Viper gauges, including the Viper seats ( no back seat ) , tranny, even the Viper shifter and knob.
I shot the shit with the guy and he said something about it was a Dodge Dakota frame which he cut as the frame from the Viper was no good, and the Viper parts were from a totaled Viper which he said he got a hell of a deal on.
The rims looked a little 'set in' to the wheelwells a bit, but man it was cool.
Non the less, guy did it all himself and IMO it was the coolest project cars I've seen in years.
Good luck with it whomever takes this on.
Very cool.
Is it money or time that is your crunch? I'm in SA ... what about a partner, finish it together, and then sell it???
Niether really. I don't do anything half ass, and I don't want to do this that way either. I would rather play "land" while the market is right.
A company called Time Machines built something similar with a GTS. Not terribly impressive, and the car brought around 200 or so, and that was years ago. A car of this nature should bring substantially more.
