Marc @ MPC Motorsports Posted November 16, 2007 Author Posted November 16, 2007 I'm using the rear pan from the yellow AMT Snap Fast Cuda kit as it fits the rear of my '71 annual better than the original part. What I've done here is opened up the exhaust with a drill and needle files. I used my panel scriber to define the opening a little bit more. The plan is to BMF the exhaust tips once the pan is painted and wash in some black around the "opening" of the pan. Enjoy!!!
RyanK Posted November 16, 2007 Posted November 16, 2007 That is going to be Killer Marc. Nothing beats Pro-Touring! Keep up the great builds!!
Marc @ MPC Motorsports Posted November 20, 2007 Author Posted November 20, 2007 (edited) You might recall from earlier postings how I mastered these taillights from the Revellogram 1:24 scale chrome parts. The MPC '71 Cuda annual (and Johan Cuda) have a clear red taillight with a molded in backup lens. I drilled and filed out the molded in piece and modified the Revell parts to fit. The new pieces were sent to Reliable Resin for casting in clear and clear red resin. Here's a before pic: During: After: Enjoy!!! Edited November 20, 2007 by Marc @ MPC Motorsports
mikelo Posted November 20, 2007 Posted November 20, 2007 Looking good. I can't see the after shots though. Great project(s) you have going on.
mikelo Posted November 20, 2007 Posted November 20, 2007 I see it now. I like the clear red lenses. Looking great from the rear!
Gray Smith Posted November 21, 2007 Posted November 21, 2007 the clear lenses look alot better Marc, I figured you'd do the lights properly.. great work and this ones shaping up to be a great build. Gray
Spike Posted December 29, 2007 Posted December 29, 2007 lookin killer man. in the pics of the stance is that a 70 hood on it??
catpack68 Posted December 30, 2007 Posted December 30, 2007 nice work marc.looking forward to seeing more progress on it
Marc @ MPC Motorsports Posted December 30, 2007 Author Posted December 30, 2007 I now have a power bulge hood. It is modified from the Revellogram 1:24 scale part. I cleaned up the joints where I attached the inner fenders to the body. The body is now ready for a coat of primer which might come later this weekend. More to come...
cruz Posted December 30, 2007 Posted December 30, 2007 This is turning out very nice man, keep us updated!!!
Raul_Perez Posted December 30, 2007 Posted December 30, 2007 I really like that hood design!! It looks like this build is coming along nicely!!
Marc @ MPC Motorsports Posted December 30, 2007 Author Posted December 30, 2007 this hood looks like a 70 AAR hood It IS an AAR hood. I just put that one on for those pics. I'm using the power bulge hood on this build. Sorry for the confusion.
