Claude Thibodeau Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 Hi! Hard to improve the design of the 70 Cuda, but we can stuff in Viper's V10, 4 bar rear suspension, Sidewinder Concept truck rolling stock, 67 Charger Foose optionnal buckets, speakers enclosures and amplificator in the back, plus mesh type grille & enlarged rr lights. B/U lights relocated in the exhaust ports. Extended and molded rocker sills with lateral exhaust dumps. Tamya gun metal + Testor's Wetlook clear. Plymouth is long gone... but we can still celebrate it! CT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espo Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 Beautiful looking build, everything just flows together as if that was the way Plymouth built it in the first place. I like the Flam tread pattern on the tires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claude Thibodeau Posted May 14, 2019 Author Share Posted May 14, 2019 Hi! Thanks for the comments. If I had to do it again, I would choose a slightly lighter gunmetal shade. The car might look a tad bigger. Next time, maybe... CT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bill_67 Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 (edited) Love what you have done here, Claude. The color looks great to me. Did you have to tub the interior to get the tires to fit in the rear? Edited May 19, 2019 by bill_67 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claude Thibodeau Posted May 19, 2019 Author Share Posted May 19, 2019 Hi Bill! Thanks for the comments. Indeed, the Cuda rear seat was removed, scratchbuilt tubs glued in place ( the Dodge Concept truck rear wheels are 20" X 13" in scale, so they needed space, even more so since I lowered the rear end and swithched to 4-Bars instead of blade springs)... In place of the rear seat, I filled the narrowed space between the tubs with round molded enclosures for 2 big speakers and a large central bass speaker. The amp is mountes vertically where the seat back would normally reside. I added a custom speaker grille (tweeters?) from Foose's 67 Charger on a reworked rear shelf. I suspect it would sound great... CT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spex84 Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 Nicely done! The Sidewinder wheels and tires look perfect on it. Might have to track down one of those kits for myself, now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claude Thibodeau Posted May 19, 2019 Author Share Posted May 19, 2019 Hi Chris! Thanks for the comments. I went trough 4 of those kits so far... and none built! Just an endless source of good parts for mash-ups: Viper powertrain, IFS, IRS, interior, chassis, rolling stock,etc. CT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

olschoolkid Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 This is one cool Cuda. I really like your style on this build. I've been thinking of doing a restomod or a pro touring build and this just gave me some inspiration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
