I like it a lot
Looks like you needed to do the orange last though, can see carbon pattern through it a bit. Carbon effect looks very well done and silver on the front is nice.
Looks like you could do with smoothing the wheel arches a bit, get some sand paper rolled around a spray can

Ok,
Cuda real quiet now, shocks now complete with Yoke bladder caps. Wheels and tyres all T&G ready to go.
Question is???? Racing at the Nationals again this weekend and am gonna give the Cuda the full monty.

We are racing on a 1/8th i.c. (gas) circuit, and its big. If they only need to back off a little twice with an 1/8th scale....well you can imagine how we are gonna go with a 27T stocker!!!

Anyone got any ideas on a good set up, tried RBF's Reedy set up at my local track and that worked well, but Tibshelf is another matter. www.pickledplanet.com/tibshelf if you need a look to see what I mean. Got a Demon Monster stock built by yours truly that screams its nuts off, 136W on the dyno from a 27T!!!

So any suggestions greatfully accepted, oh I've still only got stock (1.4 x 6.00) springs by the way.

Cheers

Gaz

I had a body done for my Web Special, but it was my only body, so I had to use it on my Evo. Fortunately Frank at the track is gonna have 3 more bodies for me Tuesday
