4mula1fan Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 Latest project is the Polar Lights Big John Cuda funny car. Mixed my own candy red and buried the decals under Tamiya rattle can clear. Pretty happy so far. Looks like I missed some compound in a few cracks. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4mula1fan Posted September 18, 2021 Author Share Posted September 18, 2021 The chassis seems to be a little generic. Slicks look a little small to me. Any suggestions on a better choice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TarheelRick Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 Looking forward to the build up of this car. I have the "Ghost Cuda" kit, which is way down in the build que. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4mula1fan Posted September 18, 2021 Author Share Posted September 18, 2021 From one original Tarheel to another, the clear one should be cool. I did the clear 1/16 Petty Charger years ago. They are a challenge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4mula1fan Posted October 3, 2021 Author Share Posted October 3, 2021 I appreciate the response. I've been test fitting a few bigger tires. Without some major mods, I don't think any bigger slicks will fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragcarz Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 I got the kit tires out and measured them and the measured out to12.5 wide and 30 3/4 tall. So the kit tires are pretty accurate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4mula1fan Posted October 4, 2021 Author Share Posted October 4, 2021 Thank you! I'll use the issued slicks. Now to rustle up some MH Racemaster decals for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the looks of the headers on the reference pic, I need to do away with the upswept header ends. I'll get those done and post some new pics. Been finishing up camping for the year, and haven't been in the model shop much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
