The Cuda I just kinda backed into, gonna be a drag car. Fabbed some stuff like the cage & headers, stretched rear wheelwells and shaved the side markers, adapted a different rear & suspension, blended a couple colors together to get a red I like, and the wheel/tire combo is cobbled from 4 different sources. It's been fun so far. The '67 GTX started out as a partly-done kit missing a fair amount of parts, that I don't recall starting, so I must have gotten it decades ago. It'll be a replica of one I wanted at 16 that a local guy had - a black/black 440/4-speed car with Americans that its owner kept in mint condition... So, it got a 440 swapped in, fabbed a dual-snorkel air cleaner & exhaust connection, and and I'm figuring out which wheels will work best. I'm finding I like having 2 going simultaneously since there's always some waiting on each project... Downside to that is my desk is a mess ! |

Cool projects, topside! The messy desk is a given in our hobby, at least at my house! LoL My hobby room was a mess right up to the time we started moving to the new house!
Al, that '67 Plymouth looks great! A friend of mine had one very similar to that, with B5 blue flames painted on the front clip. But... you really should have cropped out that pile of orange scrap metal in the pic! Haha

The GTX is going to be way cool. The cuda also. I can’t work on two at the same time. I guess I like to concentrate on one thing at a time. I was never good at multitasking. Lol.

Wrapped up the black '67 GTX, Cuda's next to be completed after the bumpers arrive. Unfortunately this site won't upload photos today - that's a drag - someone should look into that.
Next up is another salvage project but that'll be a separate thread.

This is only a test. I uploaded this pic from my Fotki account. At this time, I encountered no problems. If you keep having problems with yours, let us know and I can contact ProBoards Support for advice.

Only because the weather kept me indoors more, haha. I think yours is better anyway; since this one had already been partially built, there were a couple things I couldn't properly detail. Most folks wouldn't notice, but I know...
But thanks for the compliments !

Did this issue come with the GTX and hood Plymouth decals?

No, it had the earlier small sheet; I bought the later sheet.
