    '70 Cuda T/A

    Thanks Roger. I scratch built the fuel cell from .015" flat stock. Cut strips for the sides and glued them in placeAdded some bits of plastic rod on the inside to reinforce the cornersGlued some angle or whatever I had lying around along the top edge to give a larger bonding surface and some reinforcementCut the bottom from sheet stock then folded it over the edge or a ruler to create the ribbing

    Thank guys for the comments and the interest. Fabricated the fuel cell.
  3. This look like an interesting project.
  4. Remember it's not a race. My goal is always to build the next one just a little better than the last one.

    Created an opening in the core support and boxed out the inner fender to accept an oil cooler. Inner fender before:

    That is a nice axle Frank - thank you. Unfortunately I don't have that kit and not sure I would ruin it just to steal the axle.
  7. Welcome Bob. Great to have someone with your resume on the forum. I too recently completed a FIA Cobra based on the Sunny/MiniCraft/Academy kit, anxious to see yours.

    Thanks Dan. The spoiler only attaches to the trunk lid. I added a .010" strip to the base of the spoiler before attaching it. Also cut the notches for the safety pins.
  10. This is the set I own and they work just fine for me: https://www.harborfreight.com/6-in-digital-caliper-with-sae-and-metric-fractional-readings-62569.html If you plan to use them for more than just modeling you may want to get something of higher quality.

    Yea Bill, someone else also pointed that out. The picture above is of the Challenger but I would suspect the Cuda ran the same diff. Not sure if I will change it out, I like the detail of the Dana.

    Front air dam (spoiler) fabricated and installed.
  14. Jane's Addiction - Nothing Shocking Jane Says is far to obvious a choice so I'll dig a little deeper.
  15. Coming along nicely Phil.
  16. Replica & Miniatures has those Firestone tires.
  17. Very nice Mark. You may want to delete the dead photo links in your original post.
  18. Would love to see a '65 Falcon issued. As for the Trumpeter with effort it can be made respectable.
  19. Welcome Roger and thank you for your service.
  20. Nice!
  21. I think what Anton meant was: 312" divided by 25 = 12.48"
