Pat Minarick Posted February 27, 2018 Posted February 27, 2018 Started building this when the real one came out. The real one is ok , but I didn't like the windshield at all . Didn't care about the rear roof line either! So this is going to be more like I think it should be.k 1
disconovaman Posted February 27, 2018 Posted February 27, 2018 (edited) Wow this is Awesome! Looks really great as a 4 door... wonder what a modern challenger would look like as a 4 door? Edited February 27, 2018 by disconovaman
426 pack Posted February 27, 2018 Posted February 27, 2018 Awesome. Ever since I reed the magazine article on the 1:1 I have had this same biuld planed. Will be watching this one.
Keesee17 Posted February 27, 2018 Posted February 27, 2018 Wow..! Looks like a 1970 Savoy....! I like it a lot.
espo Posted February 27, 2018 Posted February 27, 2018 I also remember reading the article about the building of the 1:1 Sedan, and agree this is sort of a Why Didn't They do that. I like how you got the roof blended into the body and the doors look perfectly proportioned.

I like how you got the roof blended into the body and the doors look perfectly proportioned. Thank you, the main thing I didn't like was using the E- body windshield. Way to short and made the s-pillars a strange shape. Not putting down their work. I just think the original B- body windshield would have looked better.
Keesee17 Posted February 27, 2018 Posted February 27, 2018 The A pillars on the kit’s roof look much better than the 1:1 build. Also, the entire roofline of the 1:1 looks too thin above the doors. Cars like this were made with more headroom because people were still wearing hats. Might look at whipping up a flat hood and a simple egg crate grill based on the kit piece

Might keep the Hemi and build it as a stock four door Hemi car . I've owned three 'Cudas all with that hood , they just look strange to me with a flat hood.
426 pack Posted February 27, 2018 Posted February 27, 2018 I think a 4 door HEMI cuda with a 4 speed, shaker hood and Dana 60 would be awesome.
Mercuryman54 Posted February 28, 2018 Posted February 28, 2018 WHAT WERE YOU THINKING!!! I like it a lot!! Keep up the good work. Dare to be different!! Dennis
Maindrian Pace Posted February 28, 2018 Posted February 28, 2018 There are so many things wrong with the 1:1 that I don't know where to start, but probably the goofy-from-any-angle roof. Yours looks much better already, far better proportions. I also always thought that this car should really be a hardtop, not a pillared sedan.

You are right, but to be to the way the factory would have built it , it would have to be a post car.

Pat Minarick Posted March 11, 2018 Author Posted March 11, 2018 I think I have door panels figured out , the back ones will need a little putty. The front ones will only need some power windows and mirror controls.
