Thanks, Just got it ordered.

Put some primer on the body and found a few more areas that needed filling. The joys of resin. Will wire the motor tomorrow and work on the ride height. Slowly getting there. The headlights, bumpers and taillights have me worried but time will tell.

Who has them in stock? Thanks

This is from my old scrap book. What a cool build it would make.

Ed. Thank you very much for posting your replies and photos. I love hearing the history of these Mopars and the folks behind them.

Johan body, AMT chassis with parts boxes goodies.

I picked up the book when it first came out and it is indeed a good read. Another great one it the book Sox & Martin put out back in 74 ( think) I am going with what I think was a B/MP car. Still not totally sure.

Still not sure which hood to use so I am making both.

Spent the last couple of days thinning out resin and patching up the body along with the hood scoop.

Very cool Anglia. I like it.

This si where I am at with the hood now. Thanks

You are very welcome.

The reason for the Cuda chassis is simple, The kit already has all the Pro Stock goodies in it and the Challenger kits do not. I have used the Challenger kits before and they take a bit more work as they do not have much tire clearance in the rear. And you still need a donor motor and other parts. Vintage Mopar drag cars are kind of my thing as they are all I build. Thanks for looking.

Yep. I used to use the Johan Cuda but they are getting hard to find so thought I would try the new Sox & Martin kit this time.

Picked up a resin 70 Challenger cheap off ebay and started this project. Still working on the fit up and building the hood scoop. Thanks for looking.

Very nice, I recall many of these running around back when I was in high school.

I think the cast is from SMH. I have used several bodies from Competition Resin and this one was different. http://stores.smhracing.com/74-duster/ If my old brain recalls the wheels were from SMBC. Thanks

From the Ramchargers book it was a 74 360 that was a class L. I believe it was bumped to K the next year. The fact that is was a 4 speed is really cool to me. They broke the Class L and K records several times and won the tough division 3 Super stock title. They then went on to build a W2 powered E/G Dart Sport that won at the US nationals in 78. The casting was very clean and easy to work with. Would buy another in heart beat. Thanks!

It is a resin body I picked up on ebay.

Second one done for the year. Thanks for looking.

Very cool!

I used to get close to 10 a year done. After my son was born I am get 1 to 2 a year completed. I hoping to get 3 this year.

One of my favorite cars. Very clean build , nice foil work and engine details. Thanks for sharing.

The vinyl were done as a cheap way to cover the work done on the rear window. All Superbirds came with the vinyl top from the factory.

She was my bench supervisor.
