I decided to rebuild one my older cuda build and change it up some ….. another nascar chassis swap….. had to shorten the front frame portion up 3 mm to get WB right and shorted the rear tail pan area 1/4” for the correct overall length correct …. I raised the front via lowering the spindle mount 2 mm to set the front to look correct the rear I think will need a 1-2mm adjustment ….. made the wheels out a set stock Mopar steels that sanded the lip down more flush and added a outer barrel to get the deep steel wheel used in some motor sports class and the fronts I added the lug/spindle details …… used the chassis section but just built the cage fully since modding a nascar cage was more work ….. not sure on body color ….. thinking petty blue or cocaine white with blue lettering/numbers not sure atm …… as still debating if this will be a street legal style car or a full race car…… engine is a 426 hemi with the nascar style single carb intake that I build (not done yet) still alot left to do but hope y’all like the concept and the build thanks y’all IMG_0713.png.bdab20213493dfb649d447ab47f3ab39.pngIMG_0724.jpeg.8d18bb1749ce5fc231ae8a3ddf0ee18d.jpegIMG_0725.jpeg.e4828356fac2fe6e56414847f71295c1.jpegIMG_0726.jpeg.a558166e5a7483a9db2405a8a40d9b40.jpegIMG_0750.jpeg.af63fc2eb9485e982248f3e45c755332.jpegIMG_0795.jpeg.64652df62098dd5fca4c9c5ca35658d1.jpegIMG_5326.jpeg.de49641822978cb22521044ed2ce2366.jpegIMG_5327.jpeg.aa611d7e8b9b2d2f5b87d5b18f382e4c.jpegIMG_5328.jpeg.c5041fdc6d46d43c2f448a3376a9a851.jpegIMG_5329.jpeg.5ac3ea8c254177272893769e450df5ec.jpegIMG_5330.jpeg.eb77985ac6418ed1c71d86654e1d11b9.jpegIMG_5331.jpeg.baa65ed4d0c3ed1f7346f25ca89a5c5f.jpegIMG_5335.jpeg.51bf90d3af499c762033139d7b16b5b7.jpegIMG_5334.jpeg.5f32b7099c0bb0af8dcea010055d7bda.jpegIMG_5333.jpeg.db2aefec55601eb2025bf51a562a2221.jpegIMG_5332.jpeg.904d979511fab0f727b5d28afa9a58a2.jpeg

Looking good. I know no better so was the Petty car a real race car or fictional?

 

Fake ….. and it’s a iconic person so that will be one I build
