afx Posted October 14, 2017 Author Share Posted October 14, 2017 Thanks Jason. It took some surgery but I was able to get the shaker to fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Hamilton Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 I cannot wait to see how you work out the fender vents. I love it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

afx Posted October 16, 2017 Author Share Posted October 16, 2017 About those fender vents Ron, I've decided not to take that risk and instead build a phantom Hemi Barracuda. Thanks Brandon. Some engine work: added a pre-drilled distributor from R&M added a photo-etch flange to the water outlet cut the oil filter free to make painting cleaner/easier added mounting pins to various parts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Chernecki Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Looks great so far. Regarding the fender vents, have you taken a look at the MCG '71 'cuda detail set, it has the vents included. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afx Posted October 16, 2017 Author Share Posted October 16, 2017 (edited) Thanks Mike. Yea I bought the MGC set. My concern is getting the 1/24 scale gills blended into the fender above the crease without damaging it. Hopefully Revell will get with it and gives us a '71 Cuda and a '70 AAR from this excellent tooling. Edited October 17, 2017 by afx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dann Tier Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 Nice job on the stance and grill!!!!......looking great!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afx Posted October 17, 2017 Author Share Posted October 17, 2017 Thanks Dann. I cut the mufflers free from the exhaust which allowed me to: Install and align the exhaust tips before paint Install the rear valance before paint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dann Tier Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Thanks Dann. I cut the mufflers free from the exhaust which allowed me to: Install and align the exhaust tips before paint Install the rear valance before paint That's a pretty slick idea with the mufflers.......I like to glue all the body parts together first as well, because(as you know), those lower front and rear valances can be buggers to fit, and you don't wanna have to do it with the finished parts. Q: are you going to cut the grills out, and use the MCG inserts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Q: are you going to cut the grills out, and use the MCG inserts?I don't want to risk the work I already have in the body by potentially butchering the gills. The grille, front valance, rear tail-lights and wing should set this apart from the base kit Cuda. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randyc Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 That grille looks even better with that sdpace out of it. I always thought the headlights were too far apart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Ellis Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 Would love to have a MPC body to work with but they are hard to find and expensive when you do.when i do find an MPC 71 Cuda they require new A posts , filled divots and more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
