70 Cuda CannonBall 17

[Belugawrx]

Thought I would post this build up here OTW..

Started Jan.1st using the Revell kit,..following the custom steps in the directions, drops it considerably... 

Made up a new, bigger fuel cell for the beast, hinged the trunk,..stripped the interior

Found an engine from Bill Elliott's Intrepid to fit in,...and a new helper,....Jake hasn't made it back from Aus yet ??

Have not decided on the front end yet

or

Q,C,&Cs welcome

Cheers

I like the NASCAR engine idea instead of the Hemi. The grill mesh looks just right.

[Belugawrx]

Decided on a color scheme for the Cuda

[Jhedir6]

Looking good Bruce. Adding decals? Or just going black on red? 

You're gonna have yours done before mine even ships.

Oh well, got the rest of the year to work on mine, you're gonna have to pick another kit and do a double run.

Or a support vehicle humvee ...?

Or maybe a race trailer w/tractor to help hide us from those pesky State Storm Troopers?

Thanks for the shop access ... the race engine works ... is the trunk lid going to go for weight, the tank looks cool exposed.

Looks great and that shine is fantastic

That car looks so sinister, the black on red is classic. Plus I love the stripped down interior great detail work.
