crazyjim Posted July 14, 2013 Posted July 14, 2013 Here's my '71 Plymouth Hemi Cuda that painted in HOK chrome yellow. I thinned the back of the grille out and glued in some SS mesh from MCG.
Guest Posted July 15, 2013 Posted July 15, 2013 Nice Cuda, but you missed correcting the front fender panel lines.
crazyjim Posted July 15, 2013 Author Posted July 15, 2013 Thanks folks. Front fender panel lines?? I don't know what you mean, Lee. The front end is stock kit height, Harry, and I agree that it sits too high. I think the whole car sits too high, but that's what came out of the kit.
crazyjim Posted July 15, 2013 Author Posted July 15, 2013 Thank you. What's the billboard? That decal out back? I didn't want it.
bowtieboss Posted July 16, 2013 Posted July 16, 2013 The job is real nice mate but if my bonnet fityed like that it would be back in the body shop lol nice job mate
crazyjim Posted July 16, 2013 Author Posted July 16, 2013 Thanks, Paul. The hood fits OK. I was just in a hurry when taking pics.
Dominik Posted July 17, 2013 Posted July 17, 2013 Thanks, Paul. The hood fits OK. I was just in a hurry when taking pics. ...Jim, you took your time to finish the Cuda - why hurry to make pictures ? Over all, it looks screamin yellow! like the wiring. If you want to make the sidemarkers a little bit realistic, first paint them with silver (or BMF) and then use Tamiya clear paint orange or red. Perhaps, you will try it
crazyjim Posted July 17, 2013 Author Posted July 17, 2013 Thank Dominik. You're right - when I was doing the BMF trim, I should have covered the side marker lights.
Mrdarkmonkey96 Posted July 17, 2013 Posted July 17, 2013 every single cuda kit ive done or seen has hood fitment issues because the motor sits a tad too high and when you put the air cleaner on, its too much. I love the color, and the model looks great!
GrandpaMcGurk Posted July 17, 2013 Posted July 17, 2013 Looks like you got to use some of those "hex" beads........... .
crazyjim Posted July 17, 2013 Author Posted July 17, 2013 Sure did, Don, and I think they look pretty good.
crazyjim Posted July 21, 2013 Author Posted July 21, 2013 Thank you, Chris. Won't be hard to find in a parking lot.
