Looks sweet! I’m in the middle of doing the same in my 73 but with a Redeye. (Don’t worry, my engine bay will get painted again. That’s just primer after after the chassis stiffening.)

Looks like you are using the Year One wheels? What tires did you decide on?

Id like to see how you incorporate the shaker hood with the super charger. Post pics when you get there!
I'm going to attach to hood. As you can see you'll need shaker because Supercharger is too tall for other hoods. I will past pictures

I do have Year One wheels. 17"X9" all the way around. My tires are just rollers, for now. I bought KENDA Vezda UHP KR20A 300AA DRIFT SUMMER Tires 235/40R17 235 on E bay. Only $460 for all 4. Until I can do an expert tire selection when body is put together. I'm rolling fenders to get more width.

I do however like the tread pattern on them. They are a W rated tire. Might drive for a while & shred them in burn outs!!!

I have a Red Eye Challenger Wide Body (Go Mango). I love the performance on it.

With the Cuda being a 1000 Lbs lighter, performance should be incredible.

keep up your good work and keep in touch,
