Marc @ MPC Motorsports Posted November 16, 2007 Author Share 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!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marc @ MPC Motorsports Posted November 20, 2007 Author Share 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!!!

Marc @ MPC Motorsports Posted December 30, 2007 Author Share 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...
