North Carolina's Finest

Without a doubt, my favorite race team of all time!

I just completed the Revell , Sox & Marti '70 'cuda. Great kit whether you build it stock or modified.

While researching the car, I found that there were quite a few versions of S&M '70 'cudas. Different paint schemes and different classes ( NHRA Pro Stock, IHRA G.T. etc. ) 

This one would have been an IHRA car.

Slixx decals were awesome. The paint was mixed for me using the correct Chrysler paint codes.

The kit supplied hood did not look at all correct so I grafted a more correct 6bbl resin scoop. That turned out to be a major p.i.t.a.. The carbs would not clear without a lot of material removal from the underside of the scoop. Eventually got it to look ok

Nice looking build.  Love the old drag cars.

Your build looks great I agree Sox & Martin are high on the favorites list . For as nice and new as the revell kit is they really missed the mark on the body proportions it looks really chunky next to the fantastic johan body . Maybe just my opinion?

Killer pair.

 

I have an old MPC buildup. I plan to use to build both their 70 and 72 Cudas
