Very inspiring work using everyday treasuresthen turning them into parts ! Very cool imagineering

Ditto what every one else has said every part looks real, especially the subtle weathering

thanks for stopping in ! I'll have updates soon, working on engine assembly now, then interior detailing...if that's even possible w a semi gloss interior hmm

Afx - thanks for the closer pics , the stang wing does look very similar. My buddy found a wing from the 70 gtx kit I'm getting this wknd , but will certainly check the Mustang one also . Thanks again

Very nice wing ! Fits the cuda body like a glove

thanks I appreciate the comments honestly I don't know the specifics of the color,.but comparing pics it does appear darker than the paint chip shown online. The pics were taken in my upstairs model room where it's fairly dark on the side I leave bodies to dry , maybe outside pics would make it pop more. The chassis is the same color, but looks brighter in my eye..both were sprayed over the kit white plastic . I'm going for close enough from 10 ft lol thanks for comments jeff

no problem ! Glad ya asked because I usually get into a huge rush then realize I'm missing something obvious!

Thanks ! Sounds like the 70 gtx has one ,I'll have to look around model show this coming wknd , need to add another mopar to the collection

Hmm...good catch don't have a clue lol ! Maybe I'll find something in the stash

Nice clean work ! The project sounds like fun too I'll be following along

awesome work Darren, the front springs look fantastic !!! great idea using tin for the metal bands around the leaves. love the bomber seat too, truly ratty lol we wont let ya drop this into the 4 yr pile again

awesome mod sectioning between the lights keeps everything else perfectly centered well done !! my favorite yr cuda cant wait for updates

Took a few days to get the body seams cleaned up and lay a few coats of Testors Go Mango lacquer , and after drying for 30 minutes 2 coats of ultra gloss clear. heres the results . ill let it rest a few days to properly gas out..then wet sand the slight orange peel out. I haven't decided it'll need any more clear. now its time to get that Hemi finished and get the union guys to drop it into the chassis. any comments welcomed jeff

oops, looks like we' re jumping ahead to hacking plastic lol I dumped the planning cuts pics.. next up was right after mocking up the freshly cut chassis' and truing up the cuts prior to gluing them back up. I added a few strips of angle stock along the tubs to give me more surface area to re attach the chassis section, not wanting this to snap in half after those massive tires are installed ! Of note..too late I realized the 2 kits were different scales, but figured I could make up the differences w strip as needed. next up stick the axles and K member on and get this sitting on its tires..I really wanted to see how the stance would look ! wait till ya see this.. right away I noticed the pic was missing the wheel moldings, and I had to open the wheel opening anyway..so time to break out the trusty motor tool, going slow and switching to files cleared the trim off about as fast as the car looks lol now the tires are in the wind like I wanted ! last test pic...the one most others will ever see of this road runner..tail lights thanks for looking

I've had this photo on my phone for months waiting for the perfect time to start another quick build...well its time !!! I'm using the 70 roadrunner for the main parts, back halving a coronet super bee for the tubs and HUGE tires, and the all important HEMI wheel burner. lets start with the inspiration shot.. well that's where I'm headed..so grab a tasty beverage, strap into a seat and hang on !

You definitely get what u pay for..

thanks for the opinion ! I actually found the papa truck for a deal at lhs ! Now to build that wrecker

Love the seat pedestal I definitely think you could successfully build a front leaf spring like scotts. It's just strips of plastic stacked getting slightly shorter towards the top, then he used a plate and probably paper clip wire for the u bolts . Easy peezy . The shackles look like a couple hollow tubes glued together w detail bolts on the ends.. Either way sure you'll nail it

Keep em coming ! Thanks for the blast mat info too..being from the northeast I hadn't seen them used ..only thing around here is corn fields and meth heads

ditto x2 !! awesome work on the rear springs it's adds so much detail . Can't wait to see what you have in store for us on the front keep up the fantastic work

Awesome work as usual

Now that's a wrecker lol Ok I'm stupid what is that lifting

Love that twin boom holmes 850 on mighty mo !! The heavy recovery is sweet to There's a large recovery company nearby w several heavy units including a couple twin steer petes we see on the interstate picking flopped trucks ! Love the wreckers , wish they made more possible kits of them

Very cool now it's possible to build that KW wrecker

Looking good
