6bblbird Posted December 16, 2015 Posted December 16, 2015 If you purchased a Revell '70 'cuda kit you know that it can only be built as a Hemi car, but if you have a decent stash of Mopar parts you can change it up a bit. A 383 car would have an 8.75" differential. I used one from an AMT '71 Charger. It only needed a bit of narrowing. The exhaust pipes were easily modified by splicing in the head pipes from the parts box. I used the Hemi block but mounted the wedge heads, intake, and exhaust manifolds from the parts box. Although the kit's Rallye wheels would have been correct for 1970, wanted to use the 14" Magnum 500 style wheels. The " B5" blue paint is actually a G.M. color Nassau Blue Metallic but it looks close to me!
DeeCee Posted December 16, 2015 Posted December 16, 2015 That's a very nice tidy Cuda mate, well built.
vintagercr Posted December 16, 2015 Posted December 16, 2015 Nice clean build and it looks nice in that colour

restoman Posted December 16, 2015 Posted December 16, 2015 Sooo nice!Love the wood grain steering wheel!I just finished a '74 Barracuda and wanted to use the road wheels but only had three in the parts bin... they look awesome on E bodies.
