I applied a fresh coat of Pinnacle Souveran wax on the Cuda by machine . Thanks to Mike thats the only way i will ever apply wax. Nothing and I mean nothing shines like this stuff. I use it on all my show cars . For this session .I used the Speedy Prep Towel to remove contaminants and Chinchilla Micro Fiber Towel to buff off the wax. Results speak for them selves
 
BEAUTIFUL! Thanks for sharing. That car looks mint! Nice work!:dblthumb2:
 
Thanks guys . If you want to see the car . I will be at a car show this upcoming Sunday in Palm Beach Gardens . The show is called . Dad fest .
 
That is almost my dreamcar, just swap the 440 for a 426 and I go bananas ;)

But that aside, you did an awesome job on it. Is the car yours?
 
I had a lime green one in high school 440 six pack shaker hood Dana 60 rear with 411 hemi trans hurst shifter.
Very fast car and back then you could play....

My accent brain from way back when tells me the 440 six pack was a way better engine than that boat anchor hemi.
 
Everyone is correct . I was going to put a 528 hemi in it after I connected the frame. There is way to much Maintence in this type of motor and would piss me off adjusting valve lash every few thousand miles . I want to enjoy driving the car . Soooo all new parts are orderd . 440 6-pack intake carbs and linkage . 440 polished ,ported Indy heads , matching comp cam . This car is fast now lol When we are done it will be ferocious ! I mean 1300 cfm when all 6 barrels open up ! And way more easy to maintain . I will post some pics of the engine when it's done
 
6 barrels, I hope you are also using a gas tank trailer with that ;) LOL

But you are right that the Hemi is a maintenance freak engine. 440 is a better choice for a car you will drive.
