I don't know how I missed this thread, I sat here and read the whole thing, your work is absolutely incredible! Amazing job

What do you guys think of the hemi decal on the side of the cowl?

Looks great nice progress

the cuda im working on for the cannonball run the whole build is posted in the on the workbench

nice job

while at my local hobby shop I bought some sanding sticks so I can fix the front issue, I saw that they had some extra fine and super fine sticks so I also bought them. I got a little brave last night and decided to attempt to start sanding the already pretty shiny paint and I got surprising results! the mirror broke off but no big deal but after finishing with super fine I took some wax and lightly waxed the side of the car and I was pleasantly surprised that there is no more orange peel and a mirror like surface that you can shave off of I forgot to dust the roof and side of the car so theres a lot of dust but you get the point. heres some pics Also ill have to refoil some areas as the new and improved BMF sucks and it keeps lifting from the trim and this is the passenger side door that hasn't been touched Its hard to see but you can see the orange peel all over

Looks great! The cudas getting real close to being finished

Thank you Jonathan ill have another update on the paint and bodywork as well as the results of my first time polishing the paint with sandpaper later

shes getting closer, sorry about the bad picture quality the only camera I have available is complete junk and its a feat just to get good clear pictures. rear end and leaf springs painted and I added the chrome diff cover added a racepak and I scratched a tach that I will mount under the dash on the tunnel finished the rear of the car, taillights and painted new license plate. ill paint the cuda script soon. hemi decal on the side of the cowl, I don't know if it will stay or not I kinda have mixed feelings I also cut the tab off the back of the headlights glued some rod in there with BMF over the end and then glued in the headlight itself and it looks pretty good added some white shoe polish to the tires and a strange axles decal to the wheels

some more progress so ill have an update as soon as I snap some pics and get them on here

I would like to go to a show at some point just to see what I can do

This is going to be really awesome ,are you going to be using the funnycar top fuel engine or are you going to put something else in it?

I think he meant that the winner of the super gas class was a vette and thats just another photo of a car from the same race

Thank you Jeremy your comment really means a lot and I really appreciate it, just like you I cant wait to get it done and set it on my shelf so I can look at it all the time and admire what I accomplished

What colors do you guys normally mix to achieve the really light weird green color they have? I'm trying to replicate the real color on a dominator

what about the Honda ricers with the huge wings and chrome mufflers that sound like a swarm of angry bees that im starting to see at these all year car shows...

wow those headers look great!!

looks cool but I think lowering the back end would help alot

I think the only think cool about that thing is the weld/crager draglites everything else is terrible

This already looks awesome!!

Thank you ken! neither of us are members but ill check it out! Thank you Jarrod!!

Thanks Jake!! Thanks Al im getting there and I can see the light at the end of the tunnel, it wont be long before shes done
