Hey Mark,

I've been contacted by a guy called Aaron in New Zealand who has a 71. He saw the photos of your car at the Mopar Nats that I took and loves it. His profile on Flickr is over here...

Anyhoo I directed him to this thread to see more details and he has photoshoped one of my pics so you can see the final colour scheme.

Mark - are the rear wheel openings standard size? I assumed the arches had been lenghtened, if that is the case then "stock" Billboard graphic surely won't line up???

Looking great, though

Same size rear wheel openings.... pain to get wheels on & off. Having done it so many times, not such a big deal

Wow Mark, I am well impressed that the openings are stck for such a lot of tyre

Good Planning

Hi steve,
Yes, I posted the picture of Dan's Cuda, that car was a big influence on my own Cuda. Seen him run at 3 tracks now & quite a few runs. The launch was exceptionally impresssive to me. When I stopped by the pits at Memphis, his car had been running well & we had time to chat. Really nice guy.

Popped over to see the car this afternoon, I'm really pleased (like a muppet I forgot the Camera

)
Car is fully painted except the doors & the grill. Well, I wanted some green painted on the bottom of the grill. Hard to explain, but easy to understand when you see it.

Anyway the good news is that I'm picking the car up next Weds, thats assuming I can organise a trailer. So maybe HRD's is not a 100% blow out
