Hey Gang, just reporting my progress for the month of January, or rather the lack thereof. I'm working on another build so this is pushed aside on the bench but I did try to put a build plan together. What I found is what some already know, and that this kit has some shortcomings. I plan to open the trunk but found that it has bosses for aligning the chassis, except the chassis doesn't line up with the bosses. Also the interior tub has alignment bosses as well, but those are accurate. I'll have to add some styrene blocks to keep it in position and cut out those bosses. As for the chassis, I'm considering fabricating one but that's not my forte. I may try to cobble one together using parts from other kits, or just modify this one. I'll entertain any suggestions, thanks I hope to at least get some work done during February.

Awesome project. Great fab work!

Nice work!

Fantastic work Yuri. Impressive build!

Oh so sweet!! Awesome build Scott!

Nice start!

Great work on that interior! That console is sweet! The grille work is awesome.

My fav!

Awesome fabrication work!

Too cool!!

Nice build! Very well done.

I need one of those too! I'd planned to scratchbuild it so I hope you find a source.

Productive indeed! Way to go!

Go big or go home I guess! I'll be following this one.

I've built both, and the Cuda was more fun for me because I don't like to do anything stock, which I did building the Viper.

I've used the gold before. Pretty sure its enamel. Nice color btw. Use some auto rubbing compound or silver polish to beat down some of the orange peel.

If you can cop the look of that front end all else will be forgiven! ?

Oooooooo! ? Totally forgot about that series. Sweet!

Nice build. I know the feeling of selling and regretting!

Beautiful build!! Outstanding craftsmanship and detail!

Very well done! Almost makes me want to break mine out and get started on it. ?

Now that should be interesting!!

I think they look great Kurt!

I agree, this one turned out great! I tried it once with this one for the Peking to Paris CBP. My wife bought a frame and this was in it. The stones are real.

Awesome bit of work!
