Pat Minarick Posted February 27, 2018 Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espo Posted February 27, 2018 Share 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 theĀ body and the doors look perfectly proportioned. Ā Ā Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ā Ā Thank you, the main thing I didn't like was using the E- body windshield.Ā 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keesee17 Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 The A pillars on the kitās 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still no sure of how I'm going to build it.Ā 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maindrian Pace Posted February 28, 2018 Share 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.

Pat Minarick Posted March 11, 2018 Author Share Posted March 11, 2018 I think I have door panels figured out , the back ones will need a little putty. The frontĀ ones will only need some power windows and mirror controls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
