1970 Plymouth Cuda "Tokyo ripper"

[om617]

Hi. Had this old 70 Cuda laying around and i thought give it a new chance,had some parts missing and overall

in pretty rough shape. Not really sure what style it`s got,i just wanted it to look really mean,street machine with

some 70s race car flares and 80s tuning style decals and so on. It`s obviously an bastard since there never

was any T/A Cuda`s? There is also lot`s of inspiration from Japan car scene,with the wheels,flares,the oil cooler

up front. I added fuel injection with 8 separate throttle bodys,(This maby make six pack sound dumb,oh well). I

added Momo steering wheel,half cage,the interiour was going to match the decals,also added a Hurst shifter

and some gauge decals. I tried give some under hood detail,these kits dont really have much,so a little improvment

is better then nothing. I kinda like the outcome,low,fat and nasty.

Here are some pics,hope you like it and comments are welcome.

I like it! Very cool idea and execution!

This is great. One small niggle is that the rear cage legs appear to be floating above the parcel shelf, this deserves correcting on such a great model.

[Bob Ellis]

Very nice

Everything looks better with fender flares

Looks sweet and nasty, just like a perfect woman lol

Great job mate, big wheels and flares, like others have said, you can't go wrong.

Tough stance and nice paint job makes a difference too.

I'm a fan!!

With the flares reminds me of something from Oz. Kinda like MadMax, before the whatever happened. I like it though(love the madmax movies too).
