Nice project! What scale is that? body kit looks sweet! Great work

Looking great! Superb work

Here is a pic of the Michelin radail 3d model.

So I have made a classic Michelin Radial that was available in 1975. I as of now have tree sizes width. Outer diameter Inner diameter 11mm 28,8mm 16,3mm 12mm. 28,5mm. 17,7mm 13mm. 29,3mm. 17,7mm All these are nice measurements for our builds, at least any 1/24. The first tire above is same size as Revells Good year Radial GT. If any one want a 3D file for a tire or two even in any other size I can make it and send it in email.

The Cuda have gotten its first coat of primer on most of its parts.

That’s a big block haha! A LS valvecover is 20mm long in 1/25 so start scaling one of those and after that u can use the same scale for the rest. If your splitting tool can’t do that you can use Chitubox for free and do it there. and yes that is the good thing about a printer 😉 I send you a pm.

Sweet build! I have some long tube headers that I made for my LS if you like you can have the file and try them out.

Have had a lot of fine tuning and sanding the last day. But today I started on the auxiliary fuel tank. Seems like the total combine would be 440liters so it might do the job.

This will be this nights last update. I have never been a huge fan of shaker hoods. And now when I have an engine which is more accurate the kit supplied base for the shaker hood looks bigger than the engine. So some thing else had to be done. The challenger scoop was a good base but not to fun so I remade it to resemble the shaker a bit and opened it up. Think it fits the build now.

#3 ‘Cuda some body progress have been made. I have made new drop lists for the side window openings since they looked naked without them. I also opened up the rear trunk.. mostly to show of a huge aluminum tank but still wanted to do that. I have also crafted a new shelf for the battery since the kit had a molded battery there that I hacked away years ago and only left me with an empty hole, but no more. and lastly I remade how the front valance is done. I glued the sides and cut it more like the 1:1, saw it being done by an other member on here years ago. Looks more realistic to me since I now can star massaging the fenders.

Sweet! And being a wagon makes it better some how!

Beautiful builds each and every one of them! Great work!

Beautiful builds there.

Sweet!

Looking great Sergei!!

Coming along nicely! Reminds me of a bucket we had here in town, sad stories though.

Those are nice! I haven’t built one but seen one being built by a local friend. But then the 1/24 scale. This is my first and also my no1 manga ever! It was nothing better to watch Back then! is it your super sweet 1:1?

Sweet build! Looks epic!

Looks super! And this build really makes me interested in making something similar!

Thanks everyone for your comments! I really appreciate it!

So after couple hours at the bench the chassi has no longer the exhaust molded in, and a much larger gas tank has been fitted, only the first out of two.

I printed mine in 1:24 scale and when I removed the original part it slotted in the same space. Even the sides “grabbed” the engine in a good way. Transmission was an other thing that I did not manage to get to fit so I used an other. I believe most photos are in the CBR thread. I and I do have my own tuebos for it that would eat dust as nothing else!

Super stoked to see so many contestants and also som sweet progress all ready! Regarding my Laguna I have decided to box it since I get stuck in the same places in my planing on it. So I will be building a ‘71 Plymouth ‘Cuda with a ‘426 Hemi. It’s a started kit with some body mods. I also intend to replace the tiny cuda rear axle with a PB find which is from a ‘70 Challenger.
