Has anyone done a vinyl top with the crinkle finish? If so how did you pull it off?

Also not sure if it was this or the other VTA thread where the Testors paints were listed. Testors has Go Mango listed as a Ford color, but my can has the Dodge logo on it. It is a Dodge color correct?

Nice Stang!

Here is my first VTA Camaro. It's on an HPI Pro4 chassis.

If Parma put their old '66/'67 Nova back into regular (read: non small-run) production, I'd consider making it legal. That Bolink body above is a 1970, and not as raced in the Trans Am series.
