Well I have been following your builds and you have done a great job.  Congratulations.  

Thanks Dave, I appreciate your following. I’ve started a new post in the WIP Diorama section to finish out the complete project. “AAR Cuda Race Pit”.  My next one will be Richard Petty’s 73 Charger with the truck and trailer they used.

Mike I was planning on attending Modelmeana with the Cuda’s and the race car hauler until a wedding that was rescheduled from last year fell on the same day in Philadelphia so I’m not going to be able to attend this year. I was planning on bringing 7 new builds. I’m hoping that HAM’s have their show this summer.

Thanks Rex, I used the chassis that came with the Revell AAR Cuda.

Thanks Dave! I appreciate your comments and support. It’s been growing on me since January when I started building the truck. Here’s a couple reference pictures that have been inspiring me.

Nice progress on your Mack.

To start off with this is my first attempt at building a diorama. My older brother gave me the idea to build the Dan Gurney car hauler and I told him that I would include his Cuda. He started sending me pictures of the truck and trailer and there were also 2 Cuda’s not just one. I found out that Plymouth sponsored both Dan Gurney and Swede Savage as a team. So now my build grew to truck, trailer and 2 Cuda’s. All the truck pictures were at the different race tracks that they were racing at. I started with the AMT Gales-Krako Indy car transporter that includes lots of tools and accessories to support the racers. As I was building the truck and trailer I also put the race car accessories together and would add them in my WIP pictures and now have decided to make it a real diorama. I’m starting with a 16” x 36” pine board that I put a thin coating of spackling on to get a concrete surface. I then scribed some expansion joints lines. I sprayed it with a dark gray and highlighted over that with a light gray. Paint the white parking lines. My truck and Cuda’s WIP are in the WIP Big Rig section. 
 

Here’s my progress pictures for the diorama so far. I also have so guys to add and a mini bike. 
Your comments are always welcome and appreciated

Charles excellent build of a very unique truck. I’m guessing that this is a front wheel drive only. I was able to copy your pictures to my iPad and with the new upgrade I’m able to post pictures from my iPad using the “choose files “ photo library.

Thanks Larry.

I started with the Revell AAR Cuda and Fireballs Minite wheels and tires also Mike’s Decals. I also used my parts boxes for other parts and some scratch building of the roll bars and front spoiler. Paint is MWC dark blue met. #2084.
