zaina Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 Now that my welding truck is done I can get back to this one. Using the lowered suspension with tires from the 32 five window and parts box steelies. Machined the pulleys, breather and dog dish caps. Engine is wires and plumbed. Here is where I'm at.
Crusader101 Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 Looks good already. Will enjoy watching this build as I have been following 1:1 Mopar builds on the TV show Graveyard Carz.
am73grand Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 WOW that engine looks great x2!!! Beautiful work on that Hemi!!!!
DumpyDan Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 That looks real good, what colour you gonna use?
mikemopar70 Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 Your 'Cuda will be really cool! Can't wait to see more!
dino246gt Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 I like that one a lot, really, I love it in white with dog dishes and wider rear rims, yes!
Darbo Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 Love the look of it already, cant wait to see it finished!
Stuntman Mike Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 Nice job on the trunk. While looking at the hinges, I gotta throw in an idea. I´m currently working on a ´69 A12 Roadrunner and have modified the hood to represent the fiberglass hood of the 1:1. Didn´t like the resin hoods that are available. However...the fiberglass hoods on the original have a structure underneath that I scratchbuilt with strips of balsa wood. Was a first timer for me to use balsa on a scale model and this experiment has put balsa into my list of great stuff. The biggest bonuses: Working with balsa and thin CA will never in a lifetime warp a hood or a trunk lid or whatever. Glueing sheet styrene or adding putty always causes warps due to the shrinking process. This will not happen with balsa and CA. It is a lot easier to bring it to shape and when you are done, you can glue the balsa into place and cover the surface with CA to seal it up and harden it. I will probably cost you less than an hour of work to scratchbuild the underside structure of the trunk lid. And this will hide the wire from the hinge also. I´ll take a pic of my Roadrunner hood if you are interested to take a look at the outcome.

zaina Posted February 27, 2014 Author Posted February 27, 2014 Made the inner structure and added a magnet to keep the lid down tight.
