1971 Plymouth Cuda (MPC) 1/25

Some blockhead got it wrong, ha, ha!!!

I built the Hemi with plug wires and did some test fitting with the Shaker. Found that I’m going to have to use the Shaker from the MPC kit to get a good fit with the hood.

Looks great so far

Thanks Ed.

Today I changed out the 70 seats for the 71 seats. The front bucket seats are easy but I had to cut out the rear seat from the 71 interior tub.

You made that look easy!

I concur!!!

Having the 70 back seat to use as a template is what made it easier to do. I just had to cut and sand the 71 seat to match. Thanks for your comments I appreciate them.

Seats and sides are now painted and made some progress on the chassis. I’m to do a little red over spray so the parts are just test fitting. I’ve got the body primed and ready for some red paint. Hopefully weather permitting I’ll have some red paint on the body.

I got my air brush out today and sprayed some TorRed. Also some more work on the chassis.

Wow! That really gets yer attention!! I like that!!

Thanks Bucky,

I was able to get some more progress on the interior yesterday as Hurricane Beryl was going over my house. Thank god we did not receive any damage from the storm and the solar panels and batteries have kept the power on.

I’m still adding some details to the engine bay and working on buffing out the body.
