bluestringer Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Calling it done, warts and all. I enjoyed this kit, it was a fairly easy kit and I used an airbrush for the first time painting this one. For some reason I could not get the hood to sit flush, like the engine did not sit down into the bay far enough, but It was as far down as it would go. I tried looking for what was holding back the hood but finally gave up. Anyway this is my fourth build since returning to the hobby and I think I am improving on each kit. Thanks for looking.

I developed a solution to that problem. Instead of gluing the shaker to the engine and HOPING it comes up through the hood correctly, do this. Take a 3/8 ball of Silly Putty or similar substance and push it onto the carb(s). Set the shaker on that and then gently press the hood on. This way it sits as high and straight as possible while allowing the hood to be closed all the way. Another bonus is you can pull the shaker off later if you want to show off the engine at a show without damaging anything. BTW (and it is a bit late now) the tail panel should be blacked out on Cudas. https://www.bing.com/images/search?q=1971+cuda+rear&form=HDRSC2&first=1&tsc=ImageBasicHover Edited December 1, 2021 by Bills72sj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
