Darin Bastedo Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 I think it's funny that today someone resurected my old Barely 'Cuda posts, as I got a wild hair to do another radical custom. So to make sure it didn't drive me nuts I had to start hacking plastic to see if my Idea would work. I started with an AMT 1966 Nova with a bad roof, and a perfectly good AMT Camaro Concept car to create this. I roughed in the bodywork, and cleaned it up in Photoshop to convey the look I'm going for. the basic shape is real, the beltline trim is photoshop, as is the erasure of the cut lines. what do you guys think? a good successor to Barely 'Cuda? I'm planning to do this as soon as I finish my 57 Nomad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Custom Mike Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 What do you guys think? a good successor to Barely 'Cuda? I'm planning to do this as soon as I finish my 57 Nomad Darin, do you even have to ask? This should look great once you get it rolling, what are the plans for the front and rear ends?

Darin Bastedo Posted October 30, 2010 Author Share Posted October 30, 2010 Darin, do you even have to ask? This should look great once you get it rolling, what are the plans for the front and rear ends? The front and rear will be bone stock 1966 Nova with MCG photo etched grill and trim.

Custom Mike Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 Sounds like a plan, it should be a real show-stopper when you get it done. Are you planning on modern suspension and rolling stock? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darin Bastedo Posted October 30, 2010 Author Share Posted October 30, 2010 Looks good to me! What I really wanna see is....oh darn I forgot the name you gave it. Was it Project Turd? You remember that blob you got from me a while back LOL I think you mean "crudzilla" It stalleda while back due to a lack of a suitable grill and other cutom parts, but I think I found the grill I want in th epreview of the new 48 Ford coupe from revell. after that the ball will get rolling again.

retroguy Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Good start,for some reason this body style lends itself to this type of redo... I did one with a fastback mustang top,looking forward to the end result of your conversion... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trans Am Erik Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 I like this one! the Barely 'Cuda is really cool too. I love roof grafts and crazy ammounts of bodywork. I'm lookin forward to seeing more on this one. If you haven't seen it yet, i"m doing a 49 Merc with 67 Impala roof and rear fenders among other things.
