'Cuda at Roadster Shop
 

Wanted to set up a thread on one of our newest builds - one for the Mopar fans!
Our customer came to us with a nice basic brief. He wanted a clean and simple, purposeful looking, low, fast, mean sounding, badass Cuda. We will be doing the '70 style grille and horizontal taillights with the twin scoop hood. The plan is a neaten up and tidy of many of the original features: tucking the bumpers in, gaps, a rear lower valance treatment, some cool wheels and big Brembos to slow down the 6.4 Hemi. Naturally, awesome handling was a key feature he was looking for, so we will be putting our FAST TRACK 'Cuda chassis into action.

This is the basic direction for the build. We will be playing around with a few ideas on whether to add a graphic on the side, wheel choices and tailpanel treatments. Here's a couple of ideas we are looking at for now. Stay tuned! :thumbsup:

...and the body before stripping. Seems to be a good solid candidate on initial impressions.

Chris,

Looking forward to this one. :cool:

Are you also considering using a black stripe?

Not sure how it would look, but the red in image #1 could still be used as a thin outline of the stripes.

Shame you're axe-ing the round tailights, always liked those.
