These are more pics of my brother's 70 Cuda Conv. The shaker baseplate and ring are metal, but the hood is a nice reproduction by AAR Reproductions in Fl.
Shaker looks good in argent silver. I believe 1971 shakers were all made in black except for the 1970 argent silver left-overs.
This car will be awesome when the body gets finished and painted. I believe frame connectors are on deck as well as a new floor and trunk pan. I think my brother would like to trade for a 71 Cuda that's already done.. a 71 Cuda hardtop. A 71 hardtop for a 70 Conv.. sounds like a good trade.. although all Cuda verts are gonna be worth stupid $$ in 5 yrs. He just does not have the time or resources to finish correctly IMO.
