Drake69 Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 I hope I got this close. My only gripe with it is the "high-low" carb setup which messes up the hood alignment. Also, I wish I had done more homework before painting the intake manifold. It really needed to be the same hemi color..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drake69 Posted March 27, 2015 Author Share Posted March 27, 2015 Thanks guys! Yeah, when I got the Chevy Van kit and saw that "For Sale" decal in the sheet, I knew I had to put that on strip styrene and seal it so it could be used over and over again. I wish we would see more decals like that, or something like dealer window sheets for new cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tubbs Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 hey Allen (nice name and correct spelling too) the cross ram manifolds are not the greatest in these kits, as you mentioned the "hi-low" thing. you can get a better cross ram in most AMT GTX, Road Runner or 70 super bee. or the lindburg ramchargers. not rivet counter correct, but at least the plane of the carbs will be the same. that's what I will be using on mine.really nice build. love these cars. you represented it well. I have plans to do one along with the cuda just like this. if your not happy with the one in the kit and you can't come up with one, give me shout.

Drake69 Posted May 21, 2015 Author Share Posted May 21, 2015 Thanks all! It sits high on my shelf as one of my favorites, and I plan on building another more like an actual drag car as soon as I get some good Fred Cady or Keith Marks decals for it. Appreciate it!
