Black on Black Pro Street 71 Hemicuda DONE!

[dimebolt]

Got a little bit done tonight. Just got the trunk hinged. Its not pretty, but it functions. This kit, as well as the 1:1 cars had very little trunk room, so not much option as far as placement.

Thanks for looking.

the paint really came out nice Corey!! you going to cut the doors open too? keep at it my man!

[dimebolt]

Thnks Bill.

No, I'm not comfortable with trying it as of yet. Don't have any of the right supplies, or tools to do it. And this is only my 2nd trunk job, I'm still pretty new at hinging stuff. The front clip was a miracle on the Dart I built!

Corey

[vintagedragfan]

yea Cory I have't cut any doors or trunks yet either, gonna try it on this one, most people just use the back side of their xacto knife, keep up the great work! looks sweet!! love the dog dish idea btw!! I think it will look B.A. on this one

[dimebolt]

Thanks Bill.

That's what I used for the trunk. What I need is a contour gauge so I can get the exact shape of things like door jambs, and such. Also, I've never used any evrgreen stock, channel, flat stock etc. Nowhere to get around here, and I don't really like putting the numbers out there on the net, so I haven't ever bought any.

Keep up the good work corey, awsume paint..

[dimebolt]

Thanks Carl.

I'm really happy with the way it came out also. The hinge system is another story. I'll probably get some smaller hard line, and redo it.

Corey

[dimebolt]

I redid the hinge system today, and am much happier with the result. I can't get photobucket to come up for me though, so I can't post a pic yet.

Corey

[dimebolt]

Here is a pic of my new hinge system. Like I said, I'm alot happier with this, and it wont interfere with anything.

Corey

[dimebolt]

Here are a few mock up pictures with the trunk open. I know the paint is all dirty, but it just needs to be polished,; and right back to normal.

Thanks for looking.

Corey

[BluePopsicle]

I'm lovin' it Corey! Keep it up.

[dimebolt]

Thanks Jon,

I appreciate it.

Corey

[dimebolt]

Here is what I'm using as a starting point chassis wise.

Thanks for looking.

Corey

[bryan_m]

cheers

[dimebolt]

Thanks Bryan.

I'm gonna have to seriously lower it in the front to get the stance I want. Using the stock front framerail section, it just sits way too high. Higher than the rear by quite a bit, so that'll tell you how slammed this ride's gonna be.

I'm not gonna use hardly anything of the stock interior.

Door panels and dash probably, but that's about it. I am however going to use a relatively stock looking Hemi so I can use the shaker hood and scoop. But It'll be wired and plumbed etc. as usual.
