James2 Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 Started a Club Build this weekend. Working on the chassis and stance at this point. Re-worked the front suspension to lower it, cut out the rear for some PPP Modified tires and got the rear axle cut down, pinned and glued back together. Gonna have to re-locate the spring mounts and work on a coil set up.
tubbs Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 (edited) hey James, i pulled mine out also. never saw a build by you that you narrowed the rear. looks great so far. i have been tossing 2 extremes back and fourth, a 6 cylinder plain jane, or a full tube chassis outlaw street car. look forward to your build. i am glad the club is doing this build. see you next month. you must be starting with the Sox and Martin car. the 2in1 cuda already had a dropped front spindle piece in it along with some custom pieces.

James2 Posted March 8, 2015 Author Posted March 8, 2015 Thanks Al. It is the Revell Special Edition kit, I wanted the front even lower. Just needed a little gentle bending and some CA glue to help stay. We should bring our builds to the meetings just to see how we're doing!

You're going to have to slow down a little! LOL Tom
James2 Posted March 8, 2015 Author Posted March 8, 2015 I haven't even picked one of these up yet. You're going to have to slow down a little! LOL Tom I won't be able to do this in 10 days but at least I pulled you from lurking in the closet and commenting!
tbill Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 looking good, love the stance, wheels and tires. tuned in for this one.
James2 Posted March 8, 2015 Author Posted March 8, 2015 One last update for today, roughed in a rear clip and getting ready to fill and clean the rest.
tubbs Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 looking good James. 1 quickie if i may... i'd try to get the rest of the old frame off. i think it would look cleaner. hope thats OK?

James2 Posted March 9, 2015 Author Posted March 9, 2015 Thanks Tim. That's the plan Al, remove what's left of the rear frame and clean things up. Ya gotta stop some where though!
Stray Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 looks great so far dude. I have a 74 Cuda (I think it's a 74???) that I built years ago and have lost the chassis somehow. I love this body shape though and will try building a chassis to fit and do a pro street finish on it. Gonna keep an eye on this build. Keep it up.
Jantrix Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 Great stance, plenty of rubber, good work. I like it.
slusher Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 A Mopar my favorite subject. Love the stance. I always enjoy your builds James...
James2 Posted March 12, 2015 Author Posted March 12, 2015 Thanks Carl, since I have untill August for a deadline I'll be taking some time on this one just to get it right.
James2 Posted March 29, 2015 Author Posted March 29, 2015 Lookin good. Shifter is installed backwards Nice! That'l need fixed...
James2 Posted May 31, 2015 Author Posted May 31, 2015 I didn't want you guys to think I was slacking, Found some time yesterday to get the color on my Club Cuda.
