Steamboat Posted February 11, 2018 Posted February 11, 2018 I just finished this one after a 5+ year build. It's is a representation of the documented last 'Cuda convertible to roll off the line. There is much conjecture as to why it ended up with the non-matching orange seats! I used a seat from the AMT Duster kit, and re-scribed the pattern on it to represent the base trim level 'Cuda seat. I then cloned that seat in resin to make the other seat. The pattern is carried over to the rear seat. The dash has a Rallye instrument cluster grafted in from an AMT kit. The steering wheel is modified from a Coronet. The engine was borrowed from the Monogram Challenger T/A, changed over to 4-bbl carb. Feel free to comment. I hope you like it!

1972coronet Posted February 13, 2018 Posted February 13, 2018 Splendid BS27H1B ! Right down to the blue 340 ( May 1971 & later ) ! Which kit did you source the Torqueflite from ?

Which kit did you source the Torqueflite from ? I wish I could pinpoint where the torqueflight came from. The best I could find was a 1/25 scale tranny which is a bit small. I bought about 50 engines from eBay a while back and saved anything that looked like a Mopar. No idea what kit it came from. I'll take a pic when I get a chance. Maybe someone on the site can identify it.
Slotto Posted February 13, 2018 Posted February 13, 2018 Great build! Love all the details. That hood latch is awesome
