m3m Posted August 13, 2007 Author Share Posted August 13, 2007 slow down guys, don't post so fast, ! just kidding! i thought it was pretty good! but maybe not! have a good one guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fisher61 Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 No, I think it's great build, just what a dirt track car should look like! But I wouldn't cut up a '71 cuda in 2007, But you would have seen this at the local tracks back in the late 70's or early 80's ! The only thing I would tell you is to remove the door handle and cover the hole with some sheetmetal [styrene in this case!] and make it look like it was pop-riveted on .

m3m Posted August 14, 2007 Author Share Posted August 14, 2007 thanks! i agree nobody would cut up one of these now, (having owned a 70 for 15 years, and 2 other cudas in the family, i know how hard it is to get parts, plus man they sure have gone threw the roof almost rediculous!) but that is a great idea on the door handels, i will try that! thanks.

horsepower Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 Nice build, I recognize it as a short track late model asphalt model (dirt track racers usually have treaded tires) LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoopdaddy Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 Hey Jeryd, Nice build. You have the idea. I really like the hood modification and your decal placement. Horsepower has it right with the tire issue. I would also suggest some screen or a few bars where the windshild would go. Let's Mudd it up !!

But I wouldn't cut up a '71 cuda in 2007, But you would have seen this at the local tracks back in the late 70's or early 80's ! actually i saw a 70 challanger in 2000 at a small (5/8 mile) circle track in my home town running in street stock (stripped down street car with a cage, some motor and chassis work). i cried for it. it was its first race and was in not bad shape at the time.

Yeah, I know that feeling ! Back about 10 years ago there were a couple of brothers at a local dirt track here running a '74 Charger and a '73 Roadrunner ! And they were winning alot with these heavy old Mopars, beating alot of guys running GM G-bodys ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
