Some Mopars

[Rusty92]

This is my first Under Glass post here to the forum. I have other posts in the Big Rigs section as I am currently building the semi from "Duel". I started building just over a year ago when I turned 21. It is safe to say that I am hooked. In this post I have chosen to display my Mopar stuff first. Hope you all enjoy them. I know there are several small things wrong with the cars, I'll fix them someday!

First is my Hemi Cuda that i built because i realized i did not have a single Mopar in my fleet. this one was the Revell kit and it went together very nice, except for the hood. But I've had others tell me that it does not fit too well on it anyways. Didn't let it bother me too much since I was doing this one as a junker anyways. I somehow lost the mirror on the drivers side and also the front bumper. Not sure where they ended up. Maybe someone took them for their restoration, haha. The wing is also missing from the car but that was on purpose. I drilled two little holes and weathered them to make it look like someone had snatched it long ago.

The other car is my Vanishing Point build. This was the AMT version with the two-piece body. I tried my best to remove the body lines but I see now that they are still somewhat visible. I added drip rails to the roof since when I was sanding off the vinyl roof they came off with it. This kit was frustrating to put together and I am happy that it is done.

love that 'cuda. Wouldn't say anything is 'wrong' with it all. Barn Find written all over that bad Mopar! Builds like these are fun because you will always go back and mess with it. always a WIP but always good to go! Keep it up, I for one want to see more

They look great, but the only thing wrong that I can see is they look too good for old Mopars - not enough rust through! ?

Even in dry climates those things are known to rust out.

Let's just say your cars represent an age of 3 to 4 years old.

Keep up the good work.

Thank you for the kind words. Usually when I see old Mopars they are beat, haha!

Thanks, Patrick! Where I live I rarely see them in good condition. I had a lot of fun building the Cuda.
