Resin body 71 Hemi Challenger R/T

[Mopar2]

Here is my Resin body 71 Hemi Challenger R/T...The donor kit is a 70 Cuda Revell kit.I went with what I had being on a strict budget...I made the hood longer for the Shaker hood scoop on the Hemi...I didn't have to do much Customizing to get it all to fit together...Thanks for looking...

Very sharp, particularly the detailed engine compartment. Well done!

Great color! Love the nostalgic wheels

I'm echoing Steve on the wheels and the color, Frank. What paint did you use? Why the resin body?

The hood sets this car off. IIRC the OG '68 Barracuda kit had the same air cleaner and hood.

Negative. The '68 Barracuda did not have the shaker or the same air cleaner. Only the '70 and '71 could have a shaker hood and air cleaner assembly. No Hemi after '71. 

There's two pics of a 68 notch back and fast back.  Great cars though. I'd love to have a 65 though. I like the big window, but not a lot of room for big tires.
