Stand comes with the AMT 50 Mercury.

I made a little more progress today. The engine is almost done. And here it is with the 383 from the Hemi Dart kit that sacrificed its alternator. Notice that the carb on the 383 is a better rendition of a Carter AVS than the lumps in the Cuda kit. I'm thinking about using two of the earlier carbs on the Hemi since I haven't glued them on yet. In some ways I think Revell has gone backwards with the Cuda engine although the trans and exhaust manifolds are beautifully done. The earlier kit has better carbs, better distributor with vacuum advance, and better alternator with brackets. I am planning to use Tamiya bright red for the color so as a test I painted the underside of both hoods. Shaker hood is paint over bare plastic. "Raisin Bran" hood is over Tamiya gray primer(don't have any white primer ). Big difference huh?

That is outstanding!

I'm going with the Revell 57 Ford.

Thanks for showing this. It's looking great and this is the first WIP I have ever seen on this kit. It will be a big help if I ever build mine.

Nice job! I remember that car.

Love the lead sleds.

Nice and varied.

They all look great.

That is one of the slickest Cudas I have ever seen.

Beautiful model Bill.

They are all nice but I really like that Delta 88!

That is a beauty.

Interior looks great Randy.

Nice! I really love the Imperial and the race cars.

I have been waiting for you to post your builds and I'm not disappointed.

They all look great but that Belvedere really does it for me.

That Riv rocks!

Oh yeah! Love em both.

Cool! The smart car of the 50's.

That is just beautiful!

Looking great so far.

I think you did a great job. I built one of these when I was a kid and it was a real bugger.

Nice Randy... but you stole my color scheme.

They are all nice but I really love that John Player Europa.
