Anybody got ft & rear bumpers they want to sell ? I have an AMT '73-'74 Cuda kit that I'd like to backdate to earlier bumpers, without the goofy guards. Thanks !

let me take a look. i was going to do that on this kit pictured. i grabbed the non-chromed ones out of a 70 kit (if you wanted to build a 70 cuda with the Elastomeric bumpers). they do need some massaging to make them work. if i have them would you want chrome or non-chrome ones. if you don't hear from me in a few days, send a search party, or just drop me a line.

I used the extra bumpers from my Revell '70 'Cuda for the AMT '74 'Cuda with no modifications. The Elastomeric bumpers can be used with little modifications. Have a look.   |

Thanks, guys !
I think I'd probably want chrome.
If the chrome is nice, it could be a stock build.
If not, race car with them stripped & painted.

Dang it, the bumpers I bought are actually 1/24, and way too wide. Checking with the guy I bought them from, but in the meantime, if anybody has a pair of them, I'm kinda stuck.
I have the full chrome tree from this kit to trade if that matters, and other stuff, or I can buy them outright.
Managed to dodge that chassis bullet using a narrowed rear axle & ladder bar setup, stretching the wheel openings a bit and narrowing their flanges. |
