First of all, thank you so much for the replies!

Now a very very short update of my work.

A friend of mine made these copies. (thanks Luis)



Cut the under hood of it...




I made a little hole in the 71 Hemi cuda hood to put the other.




With a little bit of putty and sandpapper I will join both pieces to make the AAR Cuda hood.




this is it for now, stay tune for the next "step"

Hi Mopar Man,

I decided not to paint the car in pink, I choose the blue paint with black or white stripes, I don´t know yet

I only put the pigments after let dry the paint on the chassi. I mixed up the pigments with (I don´t know the name but it´s a product to remove the paint) and spread with a dry brush

thanks for the reply

[mopar man]

black and blue always looks great together

Nosferattu, your Cuda is amazing Thanks for sharring!

I will go slowly with it, in the begining I worked very fast and some of my models at the end were not perfect as I wanted so now, I´m working with a lot of patience.

To the others, thanks for the replies

Critics and questions are welcome.

Next step is the paint job, I hope it runs well.

Sweet paint job man, the scratch building is sweet. I also like the color and the blending of model years.
