Good job getting the chrome off... on my interior it will have wood inserts in the doors, dash and steering wheel like Mike's real Cuda had...

Nice work.Whilst clearing up issues with the hood fit, also noticed that the interior tub didn't fit flush with the chassis. I'm trying to get her as low as possible, without building a complete tube chassis. The chassis has a residual thickness along the transmission and drive tunnel on the passenger side, which holds the tub way off flush. Took my Foredom cutter and slowly removed this plastic, till it fit more flush. You can hold it up to the light and see the extra thickness..

Back to the drawing board, nail polish didn't go on nice at all... went on fine but looked like heck as you can't get an even color coat, too transparent and spots different shades in places... so strip it all off we go... weeeeeeeee!!!  |

Here's a check on the stance:
Parts box wheels, with Dunlop tires. Looks about right, to me! HEMI is complete, except for the headers:   I painted it TESTORS Steel and Aluminum, with TESTORS Rubber on the belt. I added a Morgan Automotive Details distributor. Here's the running gear, waiting on those headers:

Your wish is my command! Cut front nose grille and shaped the Runner front clip and glued in place. After it sets up and dries, will fill the gaps with pieces of styrene and then putty and sand to form the nose. I know this will look only similar to the " Blowfish 282 Car". I'm only a Wizard at best.
