Sox & Martin 71 Cuda

Here is one I wanted to build for a long time. I bought one of these when I was a kid and rode my bike to Valley West mall and bought the Johan kit. I think it was back in 87 when I did it. I glued the motor together and brush painted it. I broke one of the rear wheels when I tore it off the sprue. Then I lost a front rim. It sat in the box all these years needing wheels.

I recently purchased a built up from Bernie for $5 that had a good set of wheels. My original kit was molded in orange. I decided to dismantle the built up since it was not a glue bomb. Then I stripped the paint and had a white molded kit that was perfect for a rebuild. I just needed glass, wheels, and the front suspension peice that was missing. So I got some wheels from Modelhaus and traded for the rest of the missing parts. Now I had two complete kits to build from.

This is the one I got from Bernie all rebuilt. What do you think?









P.S. I'm building the other kit into a 70 Sox & Martin Cuda.

I used Tamiya spray white with red and blue from my airbrush. I used Testors Guard Red and Olds Engine Blue on it. The decals are slixx and I added plug wires and photoetch hood pins on this one. Not much for superdetailing. I did redo the rollbar on this one. I also broke the sidewindow so I cut them down and just used the quarter windows.
