Thank you to everyone who left a comment!! as for the white bill boards i would like to use them on the car but i cant find the other cuda kit that has them

The hood came in from Lex's scale modeling and it looks good, it was very thick so i had to do alot of sanding just to get it to this point and i still have alot of sanding and fine tuning to get it to sit right but i should be fine i think the hood scales out to about a 6 or 7 inch cowl? anyways heres the pics

may I suggest cutting out the grille too. I did it on my panther pink convertible. I just used some mesh from a tamiya kit in behind and it looked pretty good. As for keith marks, I just talked to him this morning so he is around his computer to set u up with some decals

I used to like the 70 hemi cuda and hate the 71, but after playing Forza Horizon, Ive come to love the 71

Thank you! i really appreciate the comments!! as for the white billboards im not shure what im going to do being that im only 14 and its winter time i dont have any yard work money coming in so money is a bit tight for me so i think ill probably stay with the kit black billboards. Eelco, your cuda looks sweet i like the pink alot!

heres some pregress, worked on the interior a bit getting it to fit the tubs and finished some body work in the front with getting the huge seam completely filled

14!?!?!?! You're the man! I don't know if that's common knowledge around here since I'm "new" but I honestly wouldn't have guessed your age based on this work. Beautiful stuff. Glad to see the hobby has a bright future.
