This is a car that i really love, for me, it's a symbol of car's. It's my beast. Until i can't own the real one, i have to own it as a model.

I painted it metallic blue, needs one more coat and then lacquer, got these wheels from Japan and they fit so good in my opinion so those will stay!

Engine is 426 HEMI with SIX-PAK carburetor or with weber carburetor's, havent decided yet. I didnt like the front lip which was in 2 pieces so i glued a bigger piece of plastic on them, now it looks perfect to me. In future, i will get a Cuda, so i could have 2 brothers sitting side by side.

These rims are not from a kit, they're bought separetly. They're Aoshima's BBS LM 20". Aoshima has got some kits which include these rims but i cant name them at the moment.

Got inspiration and started on it again, body went through brake fluid, got new rims for it ( Cragar S/S with some Goodyear tires )

Today, i finished the interior, it's modificated for racing. I tried some techniques for making a real welding but they got too big, now i know how to make good welds...

if you do decide no to fix the suspension so the wheels wil sit in there normal you should really consider building a model of a monstertruck to park on top of that...its the only way i can see this camber looking good

having said that...its your build and you should build it however you want to

...plugs or pipes connect into those things ive show'n with red arrows? and where do they go? I know they go somewhere underneath the air filter but i've never seen a hemi with my own eye and i think ive never seen a picture without air filter too...

I can say that i hate wiring V8's :lol:

Don't worry about the camber its a MOPAR and after several years of hard driving it will camber out naturally :o

Seriously though it is looking very cool.

B4 flack from the MOPAR peanut gallery it was a joke :)

I think it looks really cool with these wheels. Now if you just make a modern looking air filter "cap" it would be wayyyy cool. Love the color combo too.

C'mon Tim, you know the spring perches will rust right through the trunk floor before the rear will camber like that! (Hey, I own some Mopars, and sadly this isn't a joke! :lol: )

In all honesty, I like the BBS look better than the earlier style wheels.

Sorry, didn't quite copy that.

If you meant the front clip, then it's out of the box but if u meant front splitter, it's just evergreen styrene cutted to right shape
