fastbackfiero Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 Happy easter! I was wondering if anyone could help me with this conversion i'm interested in doing. My dad had 4 cudas right before I was born and as a little kid, they were all 73 to 74s. I really like the looks of these versions better than the 71 ( I know that everyone likes these better but...) I got the AMT 74 curbside but I am not happy with the lack of detail. I would like to put a motor in it and maybe change the headlights a little. The problem is that the car is in 1/25th and all of the other cuda kits are 1/24th. Is there anything out there that I could use for a motor (340-440) or do I have to fight with someone on ebay for an old MPC kit and spend like $40 bucks?! I'm not sure if there is anything I can do, but I sure would like to try. Thanks for any help, Mike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikelo Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 I personally like the 70 best (like the 73/74, but little differences like parking lights in the top of the front grill.), but to answer your question, to get a better detailed engine comp and chassis, I would get an AMT Challenger. The one you can make either a convertable or hard top. That whole top thing causes it's own issues, but it has a really nice chassis (seperate exhaust & rear axle, not to mention a front suspension with no metal rod.) and front inner fenders that make for a great engine bay. For a really nice SB, I would get an AMT Duster kit. If you can find a street machine version, it has some really nice MP valve covers. Keep us posted.
