Mopar - D

Awesome build Brian! Your knowledge on this truck and your ability to build it in Scale is perfect. Looking forward to seeing more progress.

Looking sharp Len it’s the little details that you are adding that makes your Fury stand out.

Looking forward to seeing how you convert the 70 to a 74.

Nicholas you’re making great progress on your Super Bee. Your B5 blue and the white top will look really sharp. Nice detail on your engine too.

Thanks Len, I tried painting the stripes on but they didn’t work for me so I’m going with decals and paint to make them correct.

The weather has been holding out for me to paint and I’m buffing out the clear coat. I’m not sure now if I want to add the hood stripes or not. Should I go with the stripe delete or add them? Let me know what I should do. Thanks.

I was able to spray paint today and have started detailing the engine bay.

Jeff you’re welcome and you know that after you have this built if someone did make a kit of one it would not be the same as starting from scratch. Here’s the link to my WIP bottom dump if it helps.

Looks good John. I’ve been using the pads from Hobby lobby they seem to work but don’t last very long.

Thanks Carl. Worked on the spoiler and hood scoops plus the wheels. Looks like the weather may let me get some painting done.

Thanks Tony Thanks Jeff, they still have them at Hobby lobby Today progress painted the front grill, added the vinyl top and air conditioning vents and new gas/brake pedals that only I can see.

Nice progress Jeff I know the work effort you are putting into this to get the doors to work. I remember it taking me several attempts to get the tie rod at the right angle for the doors to open together and open up the same amount.

Very sharp looking Charger and not seen very much with the side stripe.

Thanks David, one of the reasons for the stripe delete is because I could not find any bill board decals for this 1/25 scale Cuda. All the decals are for the Revell 1/24 scale kit.

Tony it’s a nice kit and the Duster parts work good with adding extra details. Started working on the interior by using the Duster bucket seats then I cut the arm rests and window cranks off the Duster and added them. I also used the Duster steering column plus I found a correct shifter. I also tested my flat clear Acryl on the black strip decals to see if I could remove the gloss on them and I’m satisfied with the results.

Thanks Michelle Thanks Thomas

I worked on the engine details and on the rear end and exhaust system. I was surprised to receive my paint today I ordered it 3 days ago now it just needs to stop raining here.

Thanks Rich Thanks Carl

I have changed out the radiator now.

DW this is the kit and what the seat looks like.

I’ve been able to get the Demon A frame removed and fitted the Duster A frame in. I also changed out the fire wall with the Duster one. I’m going with the Blue 340 that I will add the plug wires. I’ve removed the molded in drive shaft.

Thanks Rich. It’s going to be a lot of cutting and fitting but I think it’s going to be worth it. Thanks DW. The 71 AMT Charger has the bench seat that you are looking for. Thanks John. Check out my 340 Curtis the Duster chassis is one that has the interior floor modeled into it and the engine bay is part of the body on the Duster and not on the Demon. Thanks Anthony. So did you leave with it?

Thanks Larry Thanks Dan Thanks Eric Thanks Carl Thanks Chris Thanks Jeff Thanks David I’ve started my next build in WIP it’s the Demon and is getting refined with some of the Duster kit parts.

Yeah this is the new MPC release of the Dodge Demon. I was thinking of just building this one straight out of the box but I had also picked up a extra Duster kit with Hobby Lobby’s 40% off with the idea of switching out some of the parts. Once I got started looking at the Demon’s parts and comparing them to the Duster I knew that I was going to have to change out some of the parts. So what I’m thinking I’m going to do is use the Duster engine, A frame, firewall, front seats and maybe the rear end and exhaust. I’m going with Bright White body Black vinyl top and a black/gray interior. So far I’ve started cutting in the A frame. As always your comments are appreciated and welcome.
