1971 Plymouth 'Cuda 440 Convertible

[echoxrayniner]

I found a cheap sale on the '71 Cuda Nash Bridges kit and thought why the hell not, I've messed up making a '71 Cuda twice before, lets see if the third's a charm. Used the recent gen. Challenger's Plum Crazy Purple color, Molotow chrome on the chrome bits(never, ever gonna use BMF anymore, goodness it's such good stuff) and one of the recently designed 'Cuda 440 decals I did. It's mostly, if not entirely box-stock though I did have to steal/rip/tear/surgically remove a 440 engine with part of the exhausts from a '69 Dodge Super Bee along with the wheels to make it pop a little bit more though I couldn't for the life of me change the intake manifold to fit the carbs so the shaker is simply glued to the hood along with the carbs stuck to the bottom - shortcuttin' to success. Also used the 'Cuda 440 PE parts I had left over, cause why not.

Very nice and the right color.

Nice - I've been reading through your builds over the last few days on your website.  Good stuff.  And love the way you write over there.

I've never seen a 1:1 'cuda convertible, the wait continues, but that is a nice model.

Real nice and clean build.  Great job!

Great looking build. I like the color & interior combination.

Looks better than mine.  Right now I'm waiting on another 70 Cuda kit.  Stupid hurricane delayed its arrival.  Ironically, it was due the day the storm hit.
