Thanks Chris. David.....I will be using the chrome bumpers.

Got the 426 Hemi finished tonight. I had to make a bracket for the alternator.

Good luck with it David. Are you going to post your progress here on the boards?

[cobraman]

Glad your feeling better. Good looking engine.

Thanks Ray. Easier doing modeling when you don't have a pounding headache!

[Deathgoblin]

I will report the progress. May I ask why you needed a bracket for your alternator? I just got done soaking my alternator and carbs in Easy Off to remove the chrome and was planning on installing tonight or tomorrow evening.

Thanks guys! The kit does not include a bracket for the alternator. Doesn't look right sitting up in the air with nothing holding it there except a fan belt!

Makes sense, I hadn't noticed that.

Randy and everyone who has the model. I finished priming my body last night and I noticed on the body above the left rear wheel opening that it is distorted. I opened another Cuda I bought and it has the same thing. Has anyone else noticed this? I am at work now so I cannot take pictures. I probably am more sensitive to it because I plan on replicating a side molding instead of stripes down the side.

I can see what you mean David. The crease immediately above the wheel well on the left side rear deviates away from a straight line.

I didn't even notice this until you mentioned it.

I have decided to go with the colour-keyed elastomeric bumpers for the clean aggressive look rather than the chrome bumpers. I need to wait for some decent weather before I can get them painted Lime Light.

Thanks Joseph. I used Tamiya orange brush paint with some Tamiya red added to it to match hemi orange as close as I could get it.

Randy that is same place mine is distorted.

Randy I think originally the Lime Light cars if they had a painted front bumper the rear would still be chrome. I think either way looks good.

David..I have found information that body coloured elastomeric back bumpers were available in all nine colours effective Jan 5 1970 which includes Lime Light. Check out the link below.

Okay...another update. Since I will be going with the elastomeric bumpers front and back I have decided to cut off the license plate on the front bumper for a cleaner look.
