Mike - that is the same seller I got my Torque Thrust inserts through a while back and he beat the delivery estimate on those - hopefully that will be the same case for your order! :)
BTW - welcome to the fun!!!

OK got started on my cars tonight. Will be out of the country for a week on a mission trip. So laid down the paint tonight.

Had bad news. The hood I ordered doesn't fit the '70 Cuda it fits on the '71. Not sure if the original cudas changed the hood on the car or not but when you put the 70 and 71 Revell bodies next to each other there is a noticeable difference. The hood is longer on the '71 model and the roof line is different. So I will be taking the warped hood that came with the car and make it work. Very rough. Hoping to get these in the mail tomorrow.

Decals added. Interior and mounting tomorrow and then to the post office.

Put the cars on the hauler this evening. Man I'll say that while the cars are similar the differences show. The Cuda and Challenger have the same interior tub but when I mounted the Cuda body it sat higher than the Challenger. I don't particularly like the stance and would have worked on it some more but the hauler had a 6:00 pm pull time. Since all I have is Scaley Sport I don't know how they will run. I going to see if the supplier I got the hood from makes one for the 70 model. Maybe the Cuda will look better if this proxy is run again next year.

The hood on the Cuda since it was warped doesn't look that good with the hot glue that seeped out of the gaps between the fenders. Oh well :|

Daggumit. I had until today to put those cars on the hauler. Forgot to put the rear spoiler on the Challenger. :o You know what they say haste makes waste. :lol: I just hope these cars run well. Also forgot to grease the crown. I'm going to fire that crew chief. He has a check list to make sure things like this don't happen. Next inline is the shop manager for not knowing when to schedule the hauler pull. :?
