Steamboat Posted February 11, 2018 Share 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!

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
