om617 Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonW Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeeCee Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 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!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fantacmet Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 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). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
