I really liked this kit! Decals were provided for almost everything, even multiple color hockey sticks. Super fitting parts and clear instructions. I did have an issue with one of the rocker panel molding as it was on the sprue weird, which caused a warp in the middle. One simple complaint is that the kit comes with hood pins for both hoods, but they only included hood hinges for one hood. I used the custom grille as I may use the stock one for my 2010 Camaro-to-Firebird conversion. I also want to use the shaker hood, but I'm having some fitment issues (because of the plug wires.) I'm still working on that. The paint, decals, and clearcoat were done a few months ago. I started on this a week ago today as I was on vacation last week. It still took me about a week to finish it. I always wonder how those guys do their "weekend builds" and still have them look great.
Interior and Exterior paints are Duplicolor, but the cans don't say what the exact colors are.

Beautiful Hemi Cuda ! I like the custom grille , never seen one built with it before . One week is fast ! Even a really simple kit takes me at least a couple of weeks .  |

The grille is a real head turner. I'm looking at your beautiful build thinking this is a nice Barracuda, when I see the shot of the front and think this is a Camaro. Had to look at all the pictures again and then the title to be sure it's a Cuda. The grille looks like it just dropped into place. Did it? Regardless it's a big improvement over the stock grille IMHO.

Excellent build! Your interior details and body color are a good combination.
Funny, we bought a pair of 71 Challengers new (still have both) because the 'cuda's production was delayed for some reason. Always liked the 'cuda styling better. Paul

The grille came with the kit. Yes, certain angles it's very Camaro-ish. Chrysler was know for "stealing" ideas from other manufacturers. The grille is a real head turner.
