71 Hemi Cuda Build.

[JeffB65]

First build in over 20 years. I chose a 71 Hemi Cuda because my buddy Wes Cree had one. I tried to make it look like his as much as I could with the tooling issues of the model. Overall im pretty happy with it. I used this build to also learn new things like using foil for the window trim and other areas...wet sand and buffing... and trying to pay more attention to detail. I have a couple things to finish yet but for the most part its done. His Cuda had a small cheap chrome mirror so im going to wait and see if one comes in a another kit I can use. Only issue I really had was the paint on the grille piece didnt wanna dry all the way and stayed tacky. I painted it at the same time as other pieces that I also washed off at the same time so not sure what that was about. On to the next one.

Nice Cuda - love the extra details like the paint marks and the red battery caps.

What paint did you use for the steering wheel and pistol grip ?  That is a perfect match to my eyes ..
