I think that smallblockdodge has a web site, I can't find him on ebay right now. A/FX is too risky to deal with.

If you order from AFX.....you are better served to take your money and burn it. You will get a better return than you would dealing with AFX (insert personal experience emoticon here; no fluff or B.S, just fact).

The speed city one is out of my budget, and the chrome parts aren't plated. smallblockdodge doesn't list them. It looks like I'll get the grilles and tailamp parts from modelhaus and go it alone.

Email them and see if it is still available.

smallblockdodge products are substandard... best to start with Kennys (banditresin) 67 Cuda... Kennys stuff is top notch and he ships quickly...

Anyone tried adapting the engine, engine compartment and chassis from the Revell '68 Hemi Dart to one of the MPC/AMT Cudas? I've toyed w/ the idea but haven't fished any Cudas out of storage to do some test fitting....

I started a kitbash using the 69 Barracuda and the 71 Duster kits. It's not easy and takes lots of fitting. Here are some pics of the work I did.

I had to hollow out the rear vallance panel and trim the rear section of the chassis. I also shortened the wheelbase of the Duster chassis the with of my hacksaw blade.

This project stalled for a few years and has been sitting. I recently got the Bandit Resin 69 Notchback and that killed this one somewhat. I recently pulled it out of my pyle and started converting it to a 68. It will mostlikely end up being a S/S Barracuda now.
