  1. Is it me is does that look like a red door panel when you look at passenger door panel? Found this picture on facebook.
  2. I wish someone would do decals for that car.
  3. It's reported that this is a survior. Some pictures show painted white bumpers with gray grille, some show white grille with chrome bumpers? Older Pictures
  4. I am looking a building the 1970 Ramchargers Super Stock Cuda. Does anyone know what color the interior really was? It looks like from pictures I have found that it had a white interior but the dash doesn't really look white to me and why would the dash be white? I have never seen a white dash before in car. Could it have been a light gray?
  5. Just some quick pictures of my latest project. Speed City Resin body, Lindberg 64 Plymouth Chassis.
  6. Love it. When I first seen the pics it put me in mind of the vehicle in the movie "Tango and Cash".
  7. Here a shot of all 3 together.
  8. Then we have the 1970 Don Grotheer ProStock. This was built using the Sox and Martion ProStock kit. The colors were painted on using Testors Lacquer White, Testors Lacquer Hemi Orange and Scale Finished B5 Bright Blue. Decals are an Ebay purchase from a few years ago, I belive they were Billy Gooch decals. Wheels were also from Ebay from sell t.m.resin.
  9. Next 1970 Ivy Green Metallic Mod Top Hemi Cuda. Paint was from Scale Finishes and then topped with Testors Lacquer Ultra Gloss Clearcoat. Mod Top is a decal from Keith Marks, laid down beautifully.
  10. First up 1970 Lemon Twist Hemi Cuda. Paint was from Scale Finishes then cleared with Testors Lacquer Ultra Gloss Clearcoat.
  11. As suggested by Freakshow12, here is a place to post your Revell 1970 Cuda pics. I thought it was a great idea to have a plce for everyone to post and see what others are doing with the kit since some have had issues with the Revell and this kit. I myself have enjoyed building it so much that I have built 3 and working on more.
  12. Forgot to mention that the colors I used were, Testors Lacquer White, Testors Hemi Orange and Scale Finishes B5 Bright Blue Met. Not sure if colors are exact but looked to close to my eye.
  13. Thanks guys. The window trim is foil. The decals area set that I got a few years ago off ebay, I believe they were a set of Billy Gooch but not 100% sure on that. It's not perfect but looks good on the shelf.
  14. Don Grotheer Pro Stock Built with the Sox and Martin Cuda Kit. All colors are painted not decals. Wheels are off Ebay by seller t.m.resin. Rear tires are kit with Slixx Firestone decals and kit Drag 500 decals then dullcoted. Front tires are parts box that I cleaned up sidewall to take lettering off and then Slixx Firestone decals and dullcoted
  15. Here are pictures of the Two Cuda's and there racing brother. Lemon Twist Mod Top See topic in Drag Racing section for there racing brother - Don Grotheer Cuda ProStock http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=93287
  16. Finally got back on the Mod Top. Just finished assembly and need to do some touch up. I will try and get some pics up very soon. Alot of people have talked about the Revell 70 Cuda but , I have built 3 of them so far and I love the kit. Is it perfect no but it is still a very presentable model. It is much better then there prior attempts. Thank you Revell.
  17. Not to stir things up but, it can't be a clone of the Daytona 500 Winner because the Belvedere trim is not down the side which is clearly visible in photographs of the day. I'm not saying it's not accurate clone, its just not a clone of the 500 Winner. From everything I have read and information gathered, the car started life as a Light Blue 64 Belvedere off the a new car lot and was transformed into a racecar. The chassis, underhood paint was still the factory light blue and the factory met. blue interior was intact to make it look more stock to try and overshadow the non-factory stock engine since, the Hemi were not sold new in the showroom to the public. Then as the year progressed, the factory interior came out and flat panel installed. Look at the photo attached, you can see that the interior is a different color than Petty Blue. Look at the next picture and you can see the inner fenders under the hood where lighter in color than the exterior.
  18. Here's a link to a tread I started when I was working on mine. I have gotten sidetracked with mine but, I have found that early in the season the car had stock interior panels and that the interior was not Petty Blue. Later in the season the interior panels went away and things became Petty Blue inside. It all depends on what car and what race you are looking at building. http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=88337&hl=petty
  19. Is there a good source for a fuel pump for the Hilborn Fuel Injection setup on the mid 60's drag cars?
  20. Since Revell went drag racing with the 2nd release of the 1970 Cuda with Sox and Martin, maybe the 2nd release of the 1967 Camaro will be this.
  21. Anything new on this? Just wondering.
  22. Looks great. I've one of these started as well. Thanks for sharing it.
  23. Wasn't the Trans-Am cars 302 cu in and not 396 cu in?
  24. For those that have been wondering if anyone has built one. Here is one I have been working on slowly. I taped and painted all colors on body then cleared and polished it out. Then added decals that I had pruchased a long time ago. Not perfect but will do as a test build prior to buildign it as a Sox and Matin car. Not the best pciture just taking quickily with my phone. NO height adjustament made this is how it sits out of the box with the exception of wheels, and front tires.
