damop6v8 Posted April 25, 2013 Posted April 25, 2013 Hi guys, Just finished this mighty Mopar, Pretty much out of the box ,Paint is from my local auto store here in England called halfords, goes on nice for a spray can, still need to give a final polish. Wheels are traditional Cragar 5 spokes with slicks on the rears for a bit of weekend strip action. I love Mopars, have a 71 Charger, two 69 chargers & a 69 Super Bee yet to build. Cheer Damian.
damop6v8 Posted April 25, 2013 Author Posted April 25, 2013 (edited) Hi Jon & Mark Thanks for the nice comments, I'm really pleased with the result, I love the cragars, I'm very particular with getting the wheel/tyre combination & 'right' stance on my model cars, if its wrong then the whole model doesnt look right. The paint is called 'Rover Opaline Green metallic' from my local auto parts store here in the UK, with a clear coat Cheers damian Edited April 25, 2013 by damop6v8
Monty Posted April 25, 2013 Posted April 25, 2013 Nice little Mopar collection you've got going there, Damian. That Rover color looks like a shade that Chrysler should've offered back then, and the billboards, slats & spoiler really set it off.
lazlow Posted April 25, 2013 Posted April 25, 2013 thats the way a cuda was made to look, big ole cregers. Love nicely done.
realgone58 Posted April 26, 2013 Posted April 26, 2013 Nice build! I like the color, and the tires/wheels.
Jon Cole Posted April 26, 2013 Posted April 26, 2013 That has to be one of the sharpest Cuda's I have seen!
TooOld Posted April 26, 2013 Posted April 26, 2013 That has to be one of the sharpest Cuda's I have seen! I agree with Jon completely ! Nice Mopar collection too !
Yahshu Posted April 26, 2013 Posted April 26, 2013 I agree with Jon completely ! Nice Mopar collection too ! X3, the colour really suits it.
W-Machine Posted April 26, 2013 Posted April 26, 2013 Who doesn't love the E-bodies? Or '68-'70 Chargers for that matter? Your builds look very clean. There's a lot to like here.
jeffs396 Posted April 26, 2013 Posted April 26, 2013 That looks super nice Damian! I don't own any of the 1/24 Revell/Monogram E bodies, mostly because of the stories of all of the inaccuracies. To my eye, your version looks like a VERY good representation of the 1:1, but I'm not a Mopar enthusiast either. Did you do anything to your build as far as alterations to the body, etc???
TheRX7Project Posted April 26, 2013 Posted April 26, 2013 It looks very "right" on the Cragars with the slicks. The paint looks like it should be a factory color too. Nice build!
Geno Posted April 26, 2013 Posted April 26, 2013 Damian, you are a Mopar master, all three look great. You have any more pics of the T/A Challenger? I love those.
TFchronos Posted April 26, 2013 Posted April 26, 2013 Awesome job on the Cuda, I like that last picture the most. Nothing beats a photo full of Mopars.
Shelby 427 1965 Posted April 26, 2013 Posted April 26, 2013 Looks lovely, really clean! Don't you find Halfords spray cans really easy to work with? I love them. Keep it up!
Sean W Posted April 26, 2013 Posted April 26, 2013 Very nice clean build Damian. You have a nice stable of Mopar goodness going there, keep up the great work. Cheers
outlaw035 Posted April 27, 2013 Posted April 27, 2013 really nice look'n cuda...and i also like the color...
