The blue can looking thing on front is supposed to be a distributor. Common placement on a supercharged Cammer.
-
Nice Cuda and use of extra parts. Ironically I am painting something that same color(seriously just masked some off)
-
Cool... Looks like something you'd see cruising in the 70's
-
That chassis has given me fits also. As for the engine it is supposed to be a ford 427 SOHC but the timing cover, intake and valve covers are wrong. Kind of a caricature of an SOHC to avoid licencing. The only thing wrong up-top of the valve covers is the plug locations are in the wrong locations, the bottom of them are just bit of a mess. That being said, Dave is doing a really nice job of getting this thing looking good and my comments do not reflect on anything he has done.

Do You Create A Backstory For Your Builds?
Sledsel replied to oldcarfan's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I do not have back stories per say but have many things that influence or lead me in a direction. Pictures I see, hot wheels, even others builds will give me ideas. I know if it is a subject I am not familiar with I will do some research to be sure what I am doing is correct. -
Updated photo of available parts. I'm not really looking for anything, just trying to help out if anyone needs or wants. Everything remaining is Revell.
-
Glad to help. Yes, you are correct on the AMT and MPC differences. Try repairing the hoods you have, it's not that tough. A lot of info on the "tips" page.
-
I will update the photo after I pull the parts Keef wants.
-
Your post got me thinking some more about this so I pulled out an AMT kit. The last AMT kit "Street custom" represents a 75 to 78 Mustang II. The hood will fit an MPC but will require a little bit of work. Just an FYI for you.

Go ahead and get him his part, may be days before I get a chance to look.

A question for Mr. Goldman - Re Round 2
Sledsel replied to iwantmodels's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
I'll third that!!!!! And as Mr. Metallic stated, a parts pack would be great. I am always looking for dropped axles. -
In-my-opinion (worth very little) a '73 would be much better. Cleaner look and no big bumpers. The front of the '77 is downright ugly to me. Now if someone were planning a '70's GM, I think (again, worthless opinion) a '73 Grand Am would be a much better choice to attract more builders.
-
Very nice, the color is perfect.
-
I had purchased a bunch of '70 Charger stuff from fleabay and was going to make a stock car using a late model chassis. I've got too many projects and decided to drop this one. See anything here you need or want, drop me a line. Thanks
-
I have one but I need to root thru stuff. I'll get back to ya
-
Nice lookin GTO! Do not be concerned about the space under the grill, the bumper should be below the headlight bezels as the kit is. On a 1:1 it depends who installed the bumper. LOL
-
Great lookin' Mustang and I like the subtle changes you made.
-
That is one nice build. Again, you step out-of-the-box for color and it looks great! One of your best IMO
-
Sweet simple and black!
-
Nice custom Galaxie! I can think of one word to describe it: Smooth!
