ClarkM Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 Just a few pictures of my most recent project. Decided to go with a weekend racer sorta idea. its got half of a cage slicks and a tire trailer, i plan to add a few more things as the ideas come to me. Hopefully should turn out pretty good, thanks for visiting be prepared for more updates Thanks Again!
espo Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 I like the "stink bug" stance and the tire trailer is very cool. Is the Cuda going to tow the trailer or is there a support vehicle for the Cuda and tow the trailer ?
ClarkM Posted February 6, 2015 Author Posted February 6, 2015 i think ill go with the whole weekend racer idea and somehow fab up a hitch for it but eventually in sure there will be hopefully a dodge truck to match
slusher Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 Great start and nice stance. The tire rack is cool...
mustang1989 Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 I like the "stink bug" stance I don't think I've ever heard that term before!! LOL Looks to be a great project!!
ClarkM Posted February 6, 2015 Author Posted February 6, 2015 finished up the hemi got some paint d own just prepping for clear now.
espo Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 Clark - Great looking engine , hard to tell what color you used. Looking forward to the rest of your build.
ClarkM Posted February 6, 2015 Author Posted February 6, 2015 Thanks everyone! had a hold up with the clear today, i had sprayed the body with a tamiya mettalic red that i had left over and sprayed it with a krylon clear and they didnt exactly agree and it screwed the paint. So i stripped it with brake fluid. Just a question does anyone knows if the paint will still stick if i just wipe it off or should i clean it with something or what. I was going to spray the engine with genuine hemi orange but it was a little expensive at the dodge dealership so i just went with a generic orange. Help on the paint issue would be very helpful. thanks for all the comments and keep them coming, Thanks again!
freakshow12 Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 Dupli color makes hemi Orange. I never really noticed before but it has gold flake in it. It's pretty cool. I may use it on a body one day.
LoneWolf15 Posted February 7, 2015 Posted February 7, 2015 Once the paint comes off , take a toothbrush and give it a good scrubbing to remove all the residue . Next , you want to scrub it with Original Dawn Blue dish detergent and warm water to remove any brake fluid or paint residue that is left over . Rinse well , and you're ready for paint again .
ClarkM Posted February 7, 2015 Author Posted February 7, 2015 Thanks for the tips guys the bodys now in primer. Still managed to get a few odds and ends in the meantime. Thanks for visiting!

Yo Jutt Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 Like this build! I have used that hemi orange before and it turned out great on this motor for my dart which I can never find the time to finish.....
