Wolf Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 Beautiful work so far Chris! I have the Revell '71 Hemi 'Cuda convertible on the go right now. The Fireball Modelworks carburetors are indeed little jewels. You'll love 'em when you see them in person. Overall you're working with a nicer kit than mine but I prefer the '71 grill over the '70. The 426 in your kit is also better detailed than the old Revell kit. I'll have to see how much I can do to turn a sow's ear into a silk purse with mine. I wish I had your Rallye dash. I may be forced to rebuild my kit dash to get what I want. Keep up the great work! Cheers, Wolf 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got the carb idea from your build. I'm curious to see how yours comes together. I will keep an eye on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 Hey Chris, Any chance you might have a picture of the firewall for your model before you painted it? Cheers, Wolf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris coller Posted July 28, 2022 Author Share Posted July 28, 2022 So been plugging away. Not much on pictures everytime I do something. Here are some pics before I wrap this up. Few more engine details to add and I gotta clean up the taillights a bit. Some fit issues with the glass and taillights that was a bugaboo. All in all happy with the results 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mopar - D Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 Nice work on your Cuda Chris. I like your details and I know what you mean about the tail lights I just did mine today on my AAR Cuda. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
espo Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 Nice cleanly detailed looking build. At first glance the engine almost looks real, especially the carbs, linkage and fuel lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raoul Ross Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 (edited) Green, Ugh. Green belongs on Army Fatigues. The *only* green I could stand on a car was this green, 1970 Plymouth. Even the interior was livable. Most green interiors (1:1) would make me gag after only a few miles, except for this one. Back in the early '70s I worked at a brand new Sunoco station and one of our customers had a '70 Plymouth Barracuda slant six auto(Column Shift), the exact color scheme you have going here. Like I said, green belongs on army fatigues but this was different, it was livable and you've really nailed it. Great Job! 🤘 Edited July 30, 2022 by Raoul Ross Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bisc63 Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 Very cool car model taking shape here. I like how you've treated each sub-assembly as a model all its own. Interior has a nice "feel" to the finishes that adds realism, and don't get me started on that engine bay; just NIIIIICE! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Lookin’ real sharp Chris. I would add some valve stems to the wheels though. She’s gonna look fantastic when you have ‘er all wrapped up! Cheers, Wolf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
