'71 CUDA

[KWT]

This is the Revellogram '71 Hemi Cuda that I'm sure we've all built once or twice.

 

I wanted to give it a custom feel this time around and practice a little on some ideas I had floating around my brain.

Paint is Tamiya Metallic Gray. I lowered the stance a little bit.

I chose to go with a modern "blackout" trim package to keep the emblems, but also fit the custom look I was going for.

 

 

Still have to find a front plate I dig.

 

This is not the exact look I was going for, but after I had to save the paint, I chose to keep it this way.

I'm pretty stoked with how it came out. Learned a little along the way, which is always a good thing.

Gonna see if I can use what I learned moving on to other kits... and a revisit to this one.

 

As always, thanks for looking... On to the next...

I think it looks awesome! I'm usually not a fan of de-chroming a car, but it seems to suit a muscle car a lot more than a fifties classic. I really like the look of that (it's my favorite year of the Cuda).

Looks great.

What a beauty! I like the monochromatic bumpers particularly in that shade of gray.

Very nice Cuda, I like the custom treatment a lot.

Looks excellent! Kind of close to the Cuda in Furious 7 I just watched on Saturday, although that one was a '70.

Thank you everybody. It is much appreciated!

I did a lot a looking at that one. I was kinda wanting to try my hands at it, but it may be a lil outta my reach.

Looks fantastic. No motor?

Very very nice, you've certainly made me look at both this car and this kit in a new way. Are those wheels with the kit or from elsewhere?

[KWT]

Thank ya much guys!

Actually all the engine pics were done during the build phase.. I knew I was forgetting something.
