Uh yeah sorry Tom that you didnt get to see it looking perfect but I got a little bored with just on road speed passes and decided to see how it jumps...... um.....well it certainly jumps. So well that I did a back flip without trying too hard mid air but landed on the lid on the pavement. I was PISSED. I was done for the day at that point lol. BUT... I guess the bright side if there is one is that I'll be doing a new body.....

Any color suggestions for a new Cuda? I was thinking replacing the Black top with a Dark dark metallic blue and doing the same 2 tone with an ice metallic blue on the bottom. Maybe black and Lime green? Metallic orange? Anodized purple? Let me know what you think.

Oh yeah, Pics when I get home from easter brunch with my wife's family... I took em but didnt upload them. Wouldnt have been so bad if the body pins didnt massacre the body...I'm kidding myself the roof has deep deep scratches lol.

It's all downhill once you get that first scratch!

Orange with the black accent stripes down the side.... AARA Cuda style... Glen

I'll take the old Cuda off your hands if you want to dispose of her properly- many of you here already know what kind of body I run[&:] LOL... A metallic orange with a black side stripe would be sick[>:]

Ah thats a shame, just hit me up if you want to go run in Brooklyn this week[8D]



Edit- HAHA Bud, I just read your post now and we were thinking the exact same thing! Great minds think alike, go for classic Cuda!

Plum purple (what ever that color was called from factory for the CUDA!) with metallic black racing stripes

Top Banana Yellow! With a MOD TOP!

CrysisFX

metallic blue with white mustang dual stripes. or silver with blue stripes

I already did Plum crazy purple...... check my cuda body thread. I have another shade of metallic purple that is actually nicer then the first. Its a little lighter with more pop. TBJ, if I'm doing another Cuda, it's gonna be mod-rod, not a vintage clone. I love the real thing in original form, but for the Savy I want something a little arrogant just because I can

If anyone knows of a different body that is low slung and more aerodynamic (if you truly understand how it works .. lift vs DF etc. coeficient etc.) while still looking like a Savage and not like a Kyosho high roller...let me know.

I gotta say do the Lime Green with a Black top... Mmmm sexy.

Go for the Hemi Cuda look with the "hockey stick" stripe.

HPI just released the 67 Vette body. Looks SWEET and is very low profile.

Oh yeah I just saw that 2 days ago, looks sick[>:]

"Plum Crazy" there was also..."Sublime".....I forget the rest.....I used to sell sex toys, "Smoking" Products an 1:18 Die Cast cars.....well I worked for a company that did, and had to know all their products....lol.....some more interesting than others....(the cars of course )

The Dodge version... I had a buddy with one, that was quite the car! Glen

The TA was a Challenger.......not a Cuda, but they're both E bodies, so I guess you aren't to be banished by the Mopar fanatics just yet.

Lilredmachine

Nice, my Dad had a Demon 340 back in the day. Quite a car to have over in the UK, that thing was bad ass. 12s on drag slicks.

BudBud

The post clearly reads the "Dodge Version" I know the Challenger is not a Cuda. They did have nice graphics though and would be much easier to duplicate than the broken hockey stick on the AAR Cudas, of which we had four in town. My buddy's car was a Cuda... but we also had Challenger T/As running around. They were a wild street car... lots of cool iron available then. A 340 Dart GT was quite the machine as well. We even had a pair of Superbirds and a Daytona 500.... yeah, they are not Cudas either, but they were really sweet Mopars of the era. Glen

Putting T/A stripes on a Cuda (and vice versa) would be oh so wrong. LOL. I love those little 6 Pack 340s the AARs and T/As came with..........alot better than the Chevy 350s of the same era. A friend of mine owns a 69 Dart GTS with a mild 340/4spd and it runs pretty good-very light cars.[8D]

ImpalaPolicePack

lime green with white bottom... just like mine !

Foxtrap

Hahaha....i lived in Ireland like 10 years ago....fiats ...opels .....mitzus....austins...the odd Morris Minor......

Then one day I come Across a 454 pontiac Trans am!!...about 78 79....lol....it was hilarious,,,,It stuck out like a protestant at Kellys pub!..(not that I have anything against Protestants...thats just the way it is)...it had an "american car collectors" plate on it...

Insurance company must have loved them!

T/A's didn't come with 454s ever...if it was a 6.6, it was a 400 Pontiac or a 403 Olds

3-172IN MTN

I would say that if the motor was that big then he was just off in his years. The T/A came with a whomping 455 from 1971 and ended in 1976. TBJ is correct however as the largest motors available after 1976 (which litterally means 1977) were the 200hp Pontiac 400 or T/A 6.6 as some might know it or the 185hp Olsmobile built 403. The engines were the same in 1978 and the only difference was there were more special editions to include a "Sky Bird" and a "Red Bird".[link=http://www.edmunds.com/pontiac/firebird/history.html]This information can be located here.[/link]

Back to car color, I think this is the car you need to duplicate
