Hello!

Lookin' good! That car sure is a classic! I wonder how the wheel suspension looks like in this kit. I remember doing the Monogram 70' Challenger loong time ago and the rear axle didn't have any shock absorbers OOB - and it was damn hard to find any references on that in Poland in 1996. Luckily I went to a burnout show in Australia and had a chance to look it up personally :-))

Thanks for sharing and good luck with your build - have a nice day

Paweł

All comments and critique welcomed. Thanks for your honest opinions!

Thanks. This kit is state of the art. Suspension is well done. Front is a bit blocky in the spindle area, but well done overall.

Looks great. I really need to work on my vision instead of just following directions. Practice Practice Practice.

Here is phase 1 of the chassis. Balance will be done after body and chassis are mated, alignment for the front shocks depends on it.

Interior tub came out nicely Lee. That engine bay looks to have alot better detail than the older molds do. I can't remember if the Cuda's were the same way but the old Monogram Challenger kits didn't have anything but a master cylinder on the firewall ........................and that was it.Indifferent

Thanks. Yeah Joe, this Cuda is new tooling, nothing in common with the old Monogram 71 Cuda or the junk Revell  70 AAR.
