Well it's been a loooooong time since I posted anything here.
This is my Chopped '71 Cuda so far. It was started nearly 10 years ago but has sat for all that time until a few weeks ago.
The chop was pretty simple, with just the rear pillars getting sliced and the roof just laid back to suit, that way the front screen still fits.

The other piece of work needed to get the rear (B) pillars aligned was to slice the roof up the middle and add a wedge which turned out to be not as hard as first thought.
You can see by the bog where I've also shaved and filled some features ...
So, on to primer to find the rough bits ....
Then onto the base colour ....
I'm using SMS Lacquers for this and it will have a Purple Grape pearl coat on top of this base colour
I can't remember where I picked up the resin bonnet from, that was a decade ago, but it needs some tweaking to get it to sit right ...
To keep the smooth look I'm hoping for I filled in the front and rear valance joints too ...
So as I'm not known for my speedy building skills this could be a long ride fellas .... anyway, slow and steady gets you there in the end I guess ...
Cheers TJ
