mrmike Posted January 29, 2012 Author Posted January 29, 2012 Well folks, I am getting tired of looking at this 'Cuda sitting on my bench. So it's time to forge ahead and finish it. I got the glass and interior installed. Rear valance installed. Core support and radiator mounted. My goal is to get as much done on this today...time permitting! . More to come...
imatt88 Posted January 29, 2012 Posted January 29, 2012 Mike, Good stuff. I'm saving your pics to use as reference when I build mine
mrmike Posted January 29, 2012 Author Posted January 29, 2012 Matt, I hope my pictures will help you with yours. Thanks. The 'Cuda is up on four wheels! And, I have attached the front bumper. Now if I can only remember were I put the new lenses... The rear bumper is in the purple pond. Some of the chrome had flaked off over the years, so I will remove the chrome, paint it gloss black enamel and paint it with Alclad II Chrome. More to come...
Bartster Posted January 29, 2012 Posted January 29, 2012 Mopar madness! Mike, this is 1 VERY nice 'Cuda. I'm impressed with the conversion as well as overall workmanship. Intentional or not, you're a great tutor. Thanks!
mrmike Posted January 31, 2012 Author Posted January 31, 2012 Thank you Bart! I really don't consider myself as a teacher or tutor...just another modeler trying to build a good model. Now, if I can help someone along the way...so much the better!
wraith Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 Thank you Bart! I really don't consider myself as a teacher or tutor...just another modeler trying to build a good model. Now, if I can help someone along the way...so much the better! Mike, unknowingly you have become a teacher, and a good one! I have learned so many things from following your builds! The 'cuda is looking sharp!
car-man666 Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 a thrue fine build, and you're almost done , and whatever the time you took, i got some waiting from almost 10 years, and that's the fun with this hobby ,IT'S A HOBBY ,a real eye catcher,,,excellent work ,and not all the teachers are in schools ,thank God.
mrmike Posted February 1, 2012 Author Posted February 1, 2012 Thank you Darrick and Daniel. I suppose that, in a way, I am teaching or tutoring. I have learned a lot about model building over the last six years thanks to the internet and computers. The best thing to do is to watch others and become inspired by what they do and how they do it. I have really become inspired by watching some of the members of my model club. These guys are truly gifted craftsmen!
