Just finished, guy brought to cars and coffee. I have pics, but this site is awful to post. Will try though... Anyone else see this car in the Dulles VA area?

Usually these vert customs are based on a Coronet vert.  body.   

Still a lot of work.

I built mine from a Satellite vert back in 1981!  WINGNUT

The Satellite body works better. I have built them from both.

One of the easiest things to do here on DC.com is post pictures. I must be a rare breed. Now keep in mind this is from my desktop and not a phone.

Did you use the Satellite ownership or Charger ownership ?

Not if you want to post the same picture again another time. The software is strange in that it won't let you do so without changing the name of the file. No other site that I have been on requires that. At the very least, they increased the size of the file you can link up from 200 to 400.

7 months? A lot of work for that amount of time. Did he have a team on it full time?

The plymouth is shorter than the dodge, how does that work out better ?

[Kern Dog]

The difference is in the spring hanger.

Thanks,, the E body rear floor pans are shorter on the Plymouth Cuda, was not sure how they shortened the wheel base on the B bodies.

Pics or it didnt happen!!!

I would rather not see a butchered up Charger.  It ruins the look. 
There was a idiot here some time ago who thought building a 4 door Cuda would be the monalisa.

Don't speak ill of the dead.
He was a true craftsman. I didn't like the look of the car but I respected the work that went into it.

[ACUDANUT]

Kerndog, What do you mean dead ?  He died ??
Update.. His name was dave walden owner of ecs automotive concepts. Died at 58.  That sucks, way too soon.
My apologizes.

[Kern Dog]

Yeah, Dave and I shared a common trait. Alpha personality with a quick temper. His skill level far exceeded mine but we both were the type that didn't run from a fight.
He was strong, able and confident. He was a proud man and a gracious one. I have PMs from him where he thanked me repeatedly for defending him against the critics. It really pissed me off to see people bash him when many of those that did had shitty cars and zero talent to make them any better.
Yeah, he spent a bunch of money to make an ugly car. He knew that the factory went with the 2 door for a reason. His mission was to recreate a car that might have been and if you have seen the car, you'd agree that the workmanship is top notch. His company is still going, producing factory correct decals, glass, carpet and other high quality restoration parts.

[ACUDANUT]

Any idea of what took his life ?

[Kern Dog]

Brain Cancer.

I agree Dave was a great guy, was sad to hear  he died.
