Mopar - D

Thanks Anton yes I started out using a bars that are about 4” then switched over to 2 1/2” bars. The next one will be all 2 1/2” bars Thanks Dave the dark blue that’s on the truck is MCW Dan Gurney Dark Blue Met. 2084. The lighter blue that’s on the cars now is there dark blue met. 6964. I didn’t realize that they had more than one dark blue met. when I had to order more paint and I picked the wrong one. I have the correct paint on the way and will be fixing the color to match the truck and what the cars were. Here’s where I’m at now with the building.

Thanks Jeff it was very evident that the color was off while I was spraying but once I started I had to finish both of them to make sure that they both will look the same when they’re done. I’ve got them both buffed out ready for the new correct paint to arrive. I was able to wire the spark plugs I’ve seen in the pictures that the wires were either black or blue and my last 2 per wired assemblies are black and blue so one is black and the other one is blue. Getting ready to build the roll bar for the other car now.

Nice progress Casey.

Thanks Brian. Well I had to order some more blue paint and didn’t realize has more than one dark blue and I was not lucky to get the same dark blue as before so I’m now waiting for the correct dark blue to arrive. It’s a small delay but I still have the second roll bar to finish.

Awesome build and video. Can you show how the steering works and tilt up the cab to see the engine?

Jaroslav Awesome work on your build.

Thanks Gareth. I’m going to make the 5’ long board to look like a roadway.

Finally have the first roll bar cage finished next will be to finish the second one.

Thanks JT. Finally have the first roll bar cage finished next will be to finish the second one.

The roll bar in the front part has been very tricky to get right I think I have it now for the right side next will be to do the left side and then start on the other car.

Lots of awesome details Ron. What colors are you going with?

Excellent build.

Thanks Dave. This is the first time for me to build a race car I’m typically a factory stock car builder or trucks.

Awesome build.

I’ve been busy on the Cuda’s engine bay and have started fabricating the roll bars. I can’t believe how complex they were but I read somewhere that they were designed on a computer and it was the first time as well. It would be cool if the old files could be used to 3D print them. I appreciate everyone’s comments.

Thanks Carl Thanks Brian I just used what Dan Gurney had. I’ve been busy on the Cuda’s engine bay and have started fabricating the roll bars.

Yea Jeff I’m having to do everything twice including the scratch built items. Small update on the race car hauler I ordered this part on eBay for the trailer to correct the utility lines.

Still making some progress on the Cuda’s changed out the radiator lowered the battery and getting the radiator over flow container ready for some chrome. I’ve got some spark plug wires coming from MAD. I’ve also been polishing the bodies and will need to respray them so more paint on order. Thanks for sharing your comments.

Excellent build Brian enjoyed seeing you build it.

Nice progress Bill.

Thanks Jeff this vessel is a medium sized they can be a lot bigger. Thanks Ken Thanks Gordon Thanks Kurt Thanks Dave hopefully some day you will be able to see it at one of the model shows. Thanks Alexis Thanks Jim the road sections are the old Italeri kits. It would be great if they would reissue these kits I would have to pick up at least 6 more of them.

Nice progress on your trailer.

Pat how many models are you having to pack up to make your move?

Thanks Brian. Making some progress on the engines and added the bracing in the engine compartments.
