Cool 71 Cuda detailed
*yeah i know its not LSX, but its just so pretty..... *

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.






































And my 2 favorite pics:

Very nice! Looks better than from the showroom.

Though the little spoiler thingy on the back looks out of place IMO.
