Here are the two top to bottom:
Now my old Plymouth:
So the hood is different. Don't know if the rest of the body is or not? I think the 'Cuda nose comes in more to a point and the Dodge is a big more square.

Thomas is good kid, and a better driving as far as getting the hang of it. When he gets it down we are all screwed. That body looks really nice on top of that.

I'm posting this here in the VTA thread because I think most people will be buying this body for VTA, but I've got it currently on a TT-01. It fit the wheel base better. To get this body to fit on my Spec-R, I was going to have to cut the wheel wells not on the cut lines.
Haven't cut the body posts down yet as I have another body for that car that needs taller posts.

Yeah, going to run it tomorrow in the local "house spec" class. We run TT-01s with a silver can and the better drivers are right about even with their VTA times. But a whole lot harder to drive.
We had a couple guys running this McAllister TransAm already in VTA so I was able to see where the weak spots are in the body. So I've shoe gooed the hell out of it.
Oddly the point on the nose will take a beating and the body will crack there.

Half a bottle of the Rit liquid and hot water in one of my wife's glass casserole dishes (doesn't stain glass).
I dye all of my wheels now. So easy. No problems with gluing the wheels to the chrome either.
