We begin the Pro Shop segment with a visit to Larry Holt at Multimatic Engineering. Larry takes us behind the scenes to show us how all the carbon fiber components of the Super Cuda were created in their state of the art facility.
The Super Cuda’ has some seriously wide rubber at the rear, 345/35 19 Pirelli’s, mounted on custom made Forgeline rims. Even with tubs the rear wheel arches are going to need a little finessing to make everything fit without rubbing. Peter shows you step by step how to properly roll the wheel lip, a little trick practiced by both old school hot rodders and makers of exotic sports cars.
It is a really special BASF Pro Shop this week as Chip Foose lends his talent to designing the paint scheme of the Super Cuda. There was much debate over the course of the build as to the final color but the gang at Legendary were blown away by the tweaked Hemisfear green and black color scheme with a tip of the hat to the original AAR Cuda.
The Super Cuda's paint job brings Chip Foose's rendering to life. The guys at Legendary started with Hemisfear Lime Pearl from the Foose line of custom colors by BASF. The lime green was tweaked to make it a little lighter, resembling MOPAR's original Sassy Grass green.
Dream Car visits Larry Holt at Multimatic Engineering, who explains how the shocks were designed and tested for the Super Cuda’ on their four post rig and dyno.
