DustyMojave Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 Now that you've built both roll cages...The full scale roll cages were built with 2" OD tube. That is closest to 2mm or .080 plastic rod in scale. I've built roll cages for full scale Trans Am racers, though not for the AAR team Cudas. Me working on a Penske-Roy Woods Racing 71 Javelin A view of the roll cage I was in the process of welding in a 1969 Mustang Transam Boss 302. Note that the 1/4 panel hole shows that this body shell was a replacement after the car had been rolled in competition. Same Mustang at Laguna Seca in Vintage Trans Am after our complete rebuild. Same Mustang and Javelin in the Paddock at Palm Springs in '92. Me in between the front fenders So trust me, I know what size the bars should be. You're doing excellent work on this entire model assembly. I'm wondering where you got the Dodge tractor (resin cab on an AMT Kenworth or Freightliner chassis?) and what the source of the trailer was. It doesn't look like the AMT. BTW, the transport rig you see in the paddock views above is the original Canepa Designs rig that the AMT was based on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard thanks for sharing your knowledge I should of done more research on my roll bars before I started. I did end up using 0.08 rod on the #48 Cuda roll cage. My project has evolved into my first diorama build that is in the WIP Diorama section. If you have any recommendations on my diorama I’m open to making it as realistic as possible.

mark 23 Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 Nice work on the Cuda I am starting this build & have a few questions. Where did you get the single 4 barrel manifold & the headers ? How about detail parts for the engine bay ? I ordered Gurney blue in a spray can from MCW & they told me it would be a custom mix & would cost more. I also see that Fireball is now making 1/25 scale minilites, so I picked up a couple of sets. Do you have the dimensions on the front spoiler ? Thanks, Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
