Digger 'cuda

[Zoom Zoom]

Building this one as a "what if Chrysler did this as a show car?"

It's almost ready for paint. I glued the top/bottom halves of the body together to eliminate the seam.

It's a cool looking body, hopefully will have it ready for our show.

The way funny cars have "evolved," this could be pretty much what they all look like in a few years!

I always thought those were sleek bodies, Can't wait to see where your design goes!

Painting has begun; Testors One Coat (that's a laugh...someone at Testors has quite a sense of humor, or no clue whatsoever about their product ) Icy Blue over Tamiya French Blue, with a layer of Tamiya clear & transparent blue to tone down the flakiness of the Icy Blue.

I am digging it.

Very cool Bob!!! I did the very same thing with the body when I built mine. Another good modification is remove as much of the rear axle width as possible to get the rear wheels as close to the frame as you can. It's pretty self explanatory when you look at the assembly how to get it done, and your a smart guy....

Keep at it Bob, it will be interesting to see what you do with it!!!!

Does anyone remember Jim Keeler doing basically the same exact thing about 40 years ago? (Dodge Fever)...

Still have the Car Model mags with the How-tos!! That was/is an awesome model. At the time I tried to do the same thing with a VW bus. It wasn't pretty and did not see completion. I could probably handle it today. HMMMM!

Your model is spectacular and it inspired me when you built it and definitely gave me the gumption to go ahead with mine in a similar fashion, at least from the basis of body assembly to kill the seam. My graphics will be very much like a stock 'cuda; most likely billboard sides, and the "hood" and "taillight" areas will be satin black. Hoping I can scrounge something good from my parts box to improve upon the front wheels. I'll figure it out, keeping it relatively simple.
