    Brandon and everyone at Muscle Rod Shop should be extremely proud of themselves on this project. The engineering and expertise shows on every panel and inch of the Cuda. From a personal point of view, I'm not a lover of diesel engines due to the sound and the thick black smoke, but all in all, it's truly amazing.

      I'm also not a huge fan of diesels unless purpose built for hauling and such then obv diesel is the way to go. But, I gotta admit that thick black smoke and diesel exhaust in general is a LOT more environmentally friendly than a gas engine.

    Holden Bros. words to the end hits a spot for me. As a mechanic myself, i truly know what those words mean. If you want to build it clean and sturdy, you'll need time. A lot of time. And that's what people usually don't get. If you have no time, you'll build or repair it quickly either way. But it will be crap you can't be proud of and maybe it will even break again in a couple of months or years. And that can be very frustrating on this job.
    But it's the modern times i think, nobody got time for quality anymore.

Love reading the comments from people that ask why it takes so long or why things are done a certain way. Go build a car and find out!!! You don't just take parts out of a box and bolt them on. The level of skill required to successfully complete something like this is very high. And the guys that build them never get the credit they deserve!

    as a Brit - i do admire US muscle cars (in an English understated way - takes a lot to get us excited) i love what you guys have achieved here, Matts and your grin says it all, (like kids in a sweet shop) created a monster that pleases all, its an epic build, and i think them Holden Bros said it all too, you can be immensely proud of your work and i too like the rough edges, some not so practical like the stripping down which actually is so typically military, you have to strip everything down at the same time just to get to the smallest parts, but these can be rectified with a little more of your thought and ingenuity Part 2
    Its a beast and its alive now (i think you have set a high bar, looking forward to future builds along this line)
