Older project back on the bench. First few posts will be a recap of the build to today. Hosted on Fotki This is what started the whole project. Got them in a parts lot I bought off evil bay and had to use them. Hosted on Fotki Lots of filing and sanding got them to this point. Wheels from an old Revel Top Fuel kit. Hosted on Fotki Body was given to me by a friend. Its an old AMT Willys body that I molded the grille and hood to. Hosted on Fotki First mock up. Pegasus front runners on a AMT Winged Express Chassis.

Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki Little teaser on the stance and ride height. Would have liked it lower, but it was not worth the extra work it was going to take to get it there.

This brings us up to date. Working on the body right now. Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki Molded the front and rear pans, nose and sail panel. Shaved marker lights, door handles, front splitters and fender lips.

Build I started a while ago, messed up the body and lead to burn out. Got a replacement body thanks to Marc Nellis and plan to land this fish! Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki Started by grafting the seats and door panels from the Revel Honda Civic kit into the interior.

Beautiful Cuda!

Love your builds and the detail you put into them.

Excellent build and write up on what it took to assemble.

Turned out great!

Now that would be a whole lot of fun!

Nice color combo.

Thanks for all the kind words. It was a fun build despite the less than stellar kit. I wish I could give you the part number on the paint, but I painted the body eight years and three moves ago. I just know it was a Dupicolor touch up rattle can. For more pics click on the link in my signature. Its under the competition vehicles heading. (and if you are bored you can check out some of my older builds while you are there )

The Toyota axle was a common swap under all the trucks. Other than the Jeep axle mentioned earlier, it was the only other axle used by conversion companies.

Good looking truck. Engine detail is prefect.

Nice job on the resto.

For such a difficult kit you did a very clean job. Looks better than the box art!

Beautiful rails. I love the slingshot!

First completed kit in 6 years. 1975 Revell kit built box stock (w/ plug wires added). Paint is Duplicolor GM touch up and Krylon Gloss White w/ Tamiya clear. Quick build to get me out of an extended building slump. Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki

Excellent work.

Your '60 and '61 are two of my favorite builds.

Looks great!

Another masterpiece. Is there any scale you can't build in?

Beauty!
