Thanks Bryan.
That's what I'm after man. Like scarin' little old ladys mean!
My Uncle Darren had a 73 barracuda 383/4:11 geared auto that looked just like this bodywise. And it left a lifelong impression!

Cool man.

Looking sinister in that black paint! Do you have the chassis modified for it yet?

[moparfarmer]

Corey, awsome paint, looks so shiney you can see it in the dark. Wow, you've done a tremendous job on the subject matter. One of the nicest Monogram Cudas I've seen in a
long time. When and if you polish that paint it will look like black water thrown over the car...Excellent....

[dimebolt]

Thanks Roger, and Wayne.
I haven't done anything else with it yet, just body work and paint.

Got a little bit done tonight. Just got the trunk hinged. Its not pretty, but it functions. This kit, as well as the 1:1 cars had very little trunk room, so not much option as far as placement.


Thanks for looking.
Corey

[bryan_m]

yea my buddy had one of these cars, and the trunk was tiny! barely room for a spare.....

keep er goin corey

[dimebolt]

[vintagedragfan]

the paint really came out nice Corey!! you going to cut the doors open too? keep at it my man!

[dimebolt]

Thnks Bill.
No, I'm not comfortable with trying it as of yet. Don't have any of the right supplies, or tools to do it. And this is only my 2nd trunk job, I'm still pretty new at hinging stuff. The front clip was a miracle on the Dart I built!
Corey

[vintagedragfan]

yea Cory I have't cut any doors or trunks yet either, gonna try it on this one, most people just use the back side of their xacto knife, keep up the great work! looks sweet!! love the dog dish idea btw!! I think it will look B.A. on this one

[dimebolt]

Thanks Bill.
That's what I used for the trunk. What I need is a contour gauge so I can get the exact shape of things like door jambs, and such. Also, I've never used any evrgreen stock, channel, flat stock etc. Nowhere to get around here, and I don't really like putting the numbers out there on the net, so I haven't ever bought any.
