1st mod - Ertl/RC 70 Cuda. I've always wanted a convertible Cuda, and this was the test bed to see how it would come out. This was a very easy mod, took about 45 minutes, no paint work....yet . I think the cowl is chrome, but have to look into it first. The vert cover is from an Ertl 96 Z28 , but isn't quite big enough. I'll probably have to make this out of resin or something???? I want to try doing a Nash Bridges Cuda next.

This is what happens when I'm bored and armed with a Dremel . This still has a long way to go . The stuff on the roof and what not is just tape, used to mask everything off when I was cutting the hole in the hood. Engine is from an Ertl street rod. Still trying to find a decent set of front wheels.

I thought about doing that, maybe doing the car with a Ferrari or Lambo engine, but I have a thing for pro street cars.

Very carefully with a Dremel rotary tool. I draw a line with a black maker and then follow the lines.
