Damn nice choice! One of my favorite muscle cars of all time. I love all the cuda bodies. The AAR was a phenominal car at the time. Heck, it still is.

Love the rims also, they look very fitting for this resto mod.

I did cuts on floor.

http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o206/bossimport/cuda_31.jpg

And i did suports w/ stirene sheet.

http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o206/bossimport/cuda_32.jpg

Assembly

http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o206/bossimport/cuda_33.jpg

Inside floor adaptions

http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o206/bossimport/cuda_34.jpg

Bars made from 1,0mm wire and 2,0mm stirene tube

http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o206/bossimport/cuda_35.jpg

After that I did other pre assembly. I did both holes for shockers.

http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o206/bossimport/cuda_36.jpg

inside floors I add 1,5mm wire.

http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o206/bossimport/cuda_37.jpg

http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o206/bossimport/cuda_40.jpg

And finished...

http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o206/bossimport/cuda_41.jpg

Thanks for looking... sorry for my english!!!

Cesar Bossolani

Excellent craftsmanship!:eek::sunglasse

don't forget to install your panhard bar. without it, your rear end will move side to side (in real life). you seem to be one for an extreme attention to detail, so I just thought I'd add that little bit in case you forgot.

excellent build though. if it turns out half as nice as your Maverick, it will be a real show stopper for sure!

Thanks brothers!!!

rsxse240 thanks for attention and cool comments about Stallion Mav (they finished). But can you post some pics for refference. You are 1st people talk about that. So I´m still confuse... Please post it....

Thanks

Cesar Bossolani

there are a few ways to go about it, really. 2 ways are a triangulated 4 link (the other way in the image), and the afore mentioned panhard bar (mostly used on hot rods and trucks). you would use a spherical bearing, or large rubber bushing in real life at the ends of the panhard bar or triangulated 4 link bars. Nascar uses panhard bars. usually a panhard bar would be used on a suspension with longer radius arms (4 link bars) and the type you are building would usually have some sort of triangulation, but some setups with shorter radius arms do use panhard bars. you can actually connect the panhard bar to the diff housing, or anywhere on the frame, so long as the suspension travel doesn't cause the panhard bar to swing the rear end to one side under heavy load, or when the suspension becomes decompressed.

http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n4/rsxse240/model%20stuff/panhardbar.jpg

google image "four link rear suspension" and I'm sure you will find a host of reference pics to find the set up that is right for your application.

Thanks brother!!!! I understood!!!!!

Thanks for help!!!!

Cesar Bossolani

Cool stuff!:grinyes:

Thanks Risko!!!!

Interior started. I cut off seats...

http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o206/bossimport/cuda_42.jpg

Cesar Bossolani

No feedback....

But I have a doubt w/ paint job... Multicolor ou 1 silver tone????

Multicolor I´ll try Foose´s sketch

http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o206/bossimport/foose_cuda_sp.jpg

Help me please!!!!

Cesar Bossolani

I'll leave some feedback! Looks like you're doing a great job so far. I love Foose's work, he makes the cars look so clean and accentuates the thing that make the car what it is. I'm looking forward to more on this one!! Keep at it!

Do the multi-colour paint job like the one pictured. It looks awesome!

One more for the multi color body as on the sketch!
I like that very much.
Had no post yet, but looked, so now, it is done (the posting, I mean.....)

Cheers,

Jamme

May be just red and silver?

I think Foose is never wrong!:grinyes:

Go with the foose design, maybe with a hint of pearl in the silver.

Thanks for great opinnion guys!!!!

That is my friend photo shop work in red w/ silver!!!! Really like it!!!!

http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r260/kuriakistabile/Varios/foose_cuda_sp.jpg

What you think????

Thanks

Cesar Bossolani

Like that very much!

Nice colors.

Jamme

I love it. I had a similar paint job planned for my '37 Ford!

I would have to agree with the two tone, like others said Foose is great at what he does, making cars look unreal. Progress is looking really good.

Foose style very nice.

Now I have a Hemi... casting resin from Charger Promodeler kit w/ Tamiya RX7 power steering.
