Thanks Rob. We appreciate your help.

When we see you in Winthrop I'll buy you a killer Francheezie at the restaurant in the mall. It's a huge Kosher wiener!

It comes with the soup of the day.

The cheese negates the Kosher part.

Happy Easter

Steering is good, push is bad. Push means having to slow down to turn thereby losing corner speed.

Finished the Pegasus Camaro body. It sort of looks good except that it is huge compared to the HPI bodies but the proportions are nicer than the Parma bodies.

I gave it a slammed look but there is a lot of air between the wheels and fenders.

Not the best pics but you can see how it looks on a TC3 chassis.

The paint scheme is from the 1970 #1 Factory team car originally driven by Jim Hall and built by Hall's Chaparrel Cars, Inc. The problem is that this is a 1970 SS version and Hall's was the standard version with the short nose.

In Australia we are just starting the class for over 40s with silver cans, HPI wheels and tyres and a fair bit of fun. This is one of the Mustangs that was raced by one of Australias greatest, Ian "Pete" Geoghegan.

Just checkin out this thread and dig the Trans Am stuff.

Just thought I'd chime in and say that the Pegasus Cuda is definitely a
71 Hemi Cuda.
Gills on the front fenders, shaker hood, and 71 only grille.
The HPI is a 70 for sure, AAR of course. Yeh, Trans Am ride.

Yeh, I'm a 'cuda fan.
