Cubic Cuda Pro-touring with Viper powertrain

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!

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...
