Mopar - D

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.

Bill yeah its time for you to finish this Superbird with all your time in it already plus it looks amazing.

Thanks Nicholas glad I was able to help you out with your 72 Cuda. When you are ready to start on yours let me know if you have any questions there’s one area that I will improve on my 74 Cuda build and that’s the area in the engine bay by the windshield. I will figure out a way to remove the gaps that I have in this car.

Thanks Greg Thanks David, I debated on whether I should put the wing spoiler on or not but decided that it would be different without and more rare.

This is my MPC 1/25 71 Hemi Cuda painted with Scale Finishes V2 Tor Red and a black and white interior. I used the engine and chassis from the Revell 70 Cuda. The details of the build are in the WIP section.

Nice progress Jeff don’t you just love all the different angles you’re dealing with on this. ??

I’m calling this one done now and will be posting it in Underglass. Here’s a couple pictures..

Nice work Nicholas, how many Cuda’s are you going to have in your Rapid Transit series?

Thanks Jeff.

Thanks Al Thanks Rusty Here’s a note in the instructions for the hood and air scoops

Thanks Carl Added a few more details to the engine bay and interior. Getting closer to finishing it up.

I have the interior and chassis in the body now. Still have to work on the bumpers and finish up on a couple of other items.

Continuing to work on the details.

Nice Charger Bill looking forward to seeing you finish this one.

Thanks Ken Thanks Noah Thanks Jeff, yeah it’s definitely good to be back at the bench I missed it but between going back to work and getting married I only had a little free time.

Thanks Carl and Kyle, I was able to buff out the paint on add some Molotow liquid chrome on the trim. I need to go back and clean up a couple places.

Hot humid Texas weather has been making my paint on the Cuda’s body take longer than I I like to get it nice and shiny. I’m hoping for maybe today or tomorrow to get it all buffed out. I’m still waiting for my Hobby lobby to reopen to pick up a new Molotow chrome pen. As of yesterday they were still with out power from the hurricane.

John nice hurricane build! Looking forward to seeing you and your car on the 27th. I’m working on my 71 Cuda for the show.

Thanks Carl, the wheels are lining up nicely as I had hoped for.

Thanks David, yeah it would definitely be nice if Revell would. Here’s just a test fit to see how the interior lines up and that the wheels are aligned with the body.

Thanks Rich. I’m still adding some details to the engine bay and working on buffing out the body.

Thanks Anthony I’ve got more details to add to it still. I was able to get some more progress on the interior yesterday as Hurricane Beryl was going over my house. Thank god we did not receive any damage from the storm and the solar panels and batteries have kept the power on.
