echoxrayniner Posted September 26, 2016 Posted September 26, 2016 (edited) So I'm winging it for the first time on a kit with photo etched parts, which is going decently, however the only hiccup I got is that I can't for the life of me find me a decent interior reference shot of a '71 Cuda's interior to get the detail right. I'm not even 100% sure if a sublime green Cuda had the option of a black interior! Also got a set of Magnum 500 wheels, since they look a hell of a lot better than the stock Chrysler wheels. Oh, also, were the bumper canards stock as well? But any tips are more than welcome, especially some proper reference material cause man, it's hard to find a stock 426 'Cuda on the web these days with pictures of the whole car. Edit: For the curious ones, the paint's a mix of blue, fluorescent green and yellow enamels, I winged mixing it so I can't tell you specifics :c Edited September 26, 2016 by echoxrayniner

Intmd8r Posted September 26, 2016 Posted September 26, 2016 Here is one of my favorite on-line sources for classic/muscle car pics: http://www.legendarymotorcar.com/inventory/current-inventory.aspxYou may have seen some of their TV shows on the Speed channel. These guys do alot of restoration work on the Mopar E-Body. The owner used to own half a dozen Hemi 'Cudas and Challengers in his personal collection.Some good shots inthe "Cars for Sale" section, both "Classic Cars for Sale" and "Past Classic Cars for Sale".SC
