'57 300C or '71 Hemi Cuda

[Newport 66]

Had a choice of buying one or the other today. Took a while to decide but went with the Hemi Cuda!
It was $7 cheaper.....

What does HL charge for kits at your store? All others were 29.99 at ours but the 'Cuda was 22.99 (?)

Sorry the 300 was the only one I looked at the price.

I got the 300 kit when it first came out

I guess I haven't bought a model in a while, $22.99 ouch. $29.99 for the 300C I guess I am out of touch with what models are priced these day's

I bought both of those models years ago. The Cuda' I built in '93. If you use a rotary tool with a little cotton buffing wheel you can make it look real nice. The 57 is still in plastic, someday. I just finished a '70 challenger - life interrupted me it took a little over 22 years to finish.

I'm kind of hoping to do a "day two" look with the 'Cuda. Instead of the rally wheels that came with it. I'm hoping to find a set of big 'n little tires and Cragar or other period mag wheels. I'm on a couple of model sites as I don't gave a spare parts stash (yet). If any of the modelers on here can help let me know. Thanks!
And I'm not doing in- violet, I'm going with more of a burnt orange.....
