RandyB. Posted December 27, 2013 Posted December 27, 2013 (edited) Well onto round 2. Before the month is out I think there will be plenty of 'Cuda builds on the boards. Since I liked the first one so much I decided to do a second one. This one was a Christmas gift. I'm doing this one in TorRed code V2 (Plymouth) Hemi Orange V2 (Dodge). I'm going with a white interior and chrome bumpers front and back. I managed to get the body painted between snowfalls. Have a look. Edited January 12, 2014 by RandyB.
Custom Mike Posted December 27, 2013 Posted December 27, 2013 I take it you're going with the White interior Randy? If so, you have my attention!
hgbben Posted December 27, 2013 Posted December 27, 2013 Off to another great start. Loved the last one
FASTBACK340 Posted December 27, 2013 Posted December 27, 2013 (edited) Great color combo. I'm loving all these Barracudas being built! I just got mine…. Not sure what color the first one will be. Maybe FM3 …. Edited December 27, 2013 by FASTBACK340
Skypower Posted December 27, 2013 Posted December 27, 2013 Love that combo, gonna be sweet. I'm going to have to get me a couple of those kits.
bogger44 Posted December 27, 2013 Posted December 27, 2013 That's going to look sharp with a white interior. Paint looks great Randy, your off to a great start.
drodg Posted December 27, 2013 Posted December 27, 2013 Well that will look great and I cannot keep up! LOL!
RandyB. Posted December 27, 2013 Author Posted December 27, 2013 Thanks guys. The metallic in the paint is messing with the camera. Makes it look like I need another coat of paint when in fact I don't. I'll try to get a better pic.
slusher Posted December 27, 2013 Posted December 27, 2013 Great color and with white interior perfect combo...
DreamChaser Posted December 27, 2013 Posted December 27, 2013 Looking good Randy, yes pictures can be deceiving. I bet it looks sublime.
1972coronet Posted December 27, 2013 Posted December 27, 2013 Looking good Randy, yes pictures can be deceiving. I bet it looks sublime. His first 'Cuda build was "Sublime" , this one's gonna be "Tor-Red"
RandyB. Posted December 27, 2013 Author Posted December 27, 2013 Thanks I had to use clear glosscoat on this paint job because the Tor-Red dried dull which is what it's suppose to do. I agree with everyone...the white interior should look sharp with this exterior colour.
kelson Posted December 27, 2013 Posted December 27, 2013 Wow!,barely had time to catch my breath from your other cuda and you start on this beauty!,any plans for a motor swap or going with the hemi?
RandyB. Posted December 27, 2013 Author Posted December 27, 2013 Thanks Curtis....I guess this one will have the Hemi as well. Would like to do a 340 or a 383 but don't have one of those engines or decals to do one.
oldscool Posted December 28, 2013 Posted December 28, 2013 Nice Randy... but you stole my color scheme.
RandyB. Posted December 28, 2013 Author Posted December 28, 2013 (edited) Nice Randy... but you stole my color scheme. Thanks guys. Gerald...sorry about stealing you colour scheme! It's a great colour combination choice! Edited December 28, 2013 by RandyB.
RandyB. Posted December 29, 2013 Author Posted December 29, 2013 (edited) I've been working on this interior on and off all day and finally finished it. Did some silver trim painting around the guages because I didn't like the way the silver trim on the decals looked. Also painted the 'Cuda script on the doors and the Barracuda script on the dash. I found the decals provided in the kit for this didn't show up too well on my last 'Cuda so painting was the way to go. More to come! Edited December 29, 2013 by RandyB.
jeffs396 Posted December 29, 2013 Posted December 29, 2013 Looks good so far Randy! The white interior looks sharp, did you put any primer/and or paint on the seats/doorpanels, or is it bare styrene?
FASTBACK340 Posted December 29, 2013 Posted December 29, 2013 Very nice, great job on the steering wheel! Very clean. X2…. Nice build of what looks like an equally nice kit. Looking forward to doing mine.
RandyB. Posted December 29, 2013 Author Posted December 29, 2013 Looks good so far Randy! The white interior looks sharp, did you put any primer/and or paint on the seats/doorpanels, or is it bare styrene? Thanks everyone. Jeff.....I did not paint the white parts. The sheen was perfect to replicate the vinyl look so why waste paint or primer.
