View Full Version : Why I love my job: 71 Cuda

This beautiful 71 Cuda belongs to a long time customer of mine, and now he gave me the opportunity to detail his recently restored Cuda. New paint, new suspension, and a 440ci pumping out 550 hp. This car was an absolute joy to do! It was in really good shape, so it didn't need much work. Just got 1 coat of Z5pro and 1 coat of ZCS and Z6. For those unfamiliar with the terms, the product is called Zaino and its great stuff. While most of my friends work retail, I get to do this, with my own schedule, during school, my own boss, and make x4 what they do :)

Man that thing looks "Cuda." (Cuda may be substituted for "cool" as an expression: TOS #1971)

I had a '69 Super Bee about 20 years ago. Damn that was wayyyy back there!!! I had a few other Mopar's when I was my late teens and early 20's also.

I can email you the original pic, i think photobucked downsized it.
Actually, C5 and C6's account for about 75% of my business. I'm all over Corvette Forum (same screename). Send me some pics in a PM and we'll talk about making it look new again! :thumbup And I'm in SJ about 2-3 times a week, so thats no problem.
