Nice job.

Modelhaus?

Thanks Tim it is pretty rare. I don't believe many people have seen one.

Nice 74. I remember reading a 1974 Duster 360 test report and the car performed better than the 72-73 340's for sure. Here is a photo of my 1975 Roadrunner. The picture was taken a few weeks ago. It is a survivor with 37000 miles on it. It isn't the prettiest Roadrunner but it is a great driving car. It is a 360.

Tim it the Cuda is looking good. Btw that 74 360 would be real rare.

I am not sureon the stripe and molding. I figured at first an Evergreen strip for the side molding and either painting it black or using black chrome Bare Metal foil. I used the black chrome foil on a 68 Impala SS 427 a few years ago and it came out really nice. I tried a 1/64" vinyl black tape I bought from Detail Master the other night on a Reliable Resin 70 Cuda body that I never got around to finishing and it looks really good. That would be an easier way to go than the Evergreen strip. I am not sure how to do a molding and stripe though. I think the stripe would have to be very thin, much thinner than the 1/64" I used the other night. For a true correct look you would need stripes on the top and bottom of the molding. Back in 2005 or so I had a chance to buy a Sandpebble Beige 340 Cuda 4speed survivor with 30K miles on it. It had the factory tan leather with a side molding. I passed on the car (It was like 25K! what was I thinking?) and I have heard the car was resto modded and painted black. I so regret not buying that car and how the car ended up

Tim thanks for the input on the Shakers.

Here is the car I am going to replicate. I always loved the Side Moldings.

Possibly Testors metalizer Magnesium for the grill or shaker. I am painting my Cuda B5 Blue Fire Metallic. I think most B5 cars had silver Shakers.

Thanks for the input on the silver. I have a can of mopar silver correct for the wheels and I think the rockers. I am thinking a darker silver on the grill and the shaker. Testors metalizer paints?

So I am wondering if one is painting the grill and the Shaker in silver. Has anyone seen a correct Shaker car (in person) and is the Shaker (Astrotone silver) lighter than the grill? I know the rocker gill moldings are a lighter silver but I am wondering about the Shaker vs the Grill for correct tones. Thanks

Thanks Tim Dave

I think the AMT F60x15 RWL tires would look real good on the Cuda.

Thanks Tim for the photos. Thanks Casey for the photo of the decal sheet.

I am excited to get mine. I should get it this week. Can someone post a photo of the decal sheet? Thanks

Great looking build. I love a 993 bodied car. I have a 911SC and it is a great car. The 993's are getting out of reach to buy.

Their resin looks like plastic! Their quality is second to none. They are one of the best I have bought from!

Looks great. I have one finished in red with a white top.

Nice. Great wire wheels and I need to learn how to make my own. So many of the kits have such lousy wire wheels.

For those who have the kit do the Ralley Wheels look correct for a 15" wheel on a Hemi Cuda? They don't look like they can possibly be deep enough and I was wondering if I should consider maybe Scale Equipment LTD wheels? BTW are they still in business? Thanks

The corvette is probably the way to go. Thanks again.

I am thinking of building one with a luggage rack and I am wondering what kit that I can take parts from that might have a luggage rack? I think there is a Corvette kit out there but I am not sure what year. Here is an example. Thanks

I think the rocker mouldings were available on the AAR Cuda's. I remember seeing a 1970 test report in Car and Driver and the car had the Rockers on them.

I have thought about building this car or the Model King kit with the MPC 1972 GTO as a street car. I like the rear bumper on the MPC original car better than the 1/24 Monogram Judge. I have the Monogram Judge and I think the rear tailights look too far apart. Anyhow good luck on the build.

Great job. Great kit to build. I can't wait to get the 56
