Here's the Time Machine Resin '69 Cuda coupe/hardtop. He sells on eBay as TMR (I don't think through the website anymore, though). Shape looks pretty good to me, but I'll let the Mopar mavens give their judgements on it. 

Casting isn't quite as nice as, say, Motor City or Modelhaus, but it's better than Flintstone and several others I've seen. I'm trying to figure out whether it would be easier to clean up the lower/main part of this body, or just cut the roof/trunk/upper body area off of it and graft it onto a kit fastback body I have with a crushed roof.

Extra pic of the included interior tub. Sadly, it doesn't come with rear glass, as the backlight on this car is VERY oddly shaped and won't be easy to make.

They also sell a short-track version. Only reason I have both is, when they came up on eBay, they were ending at almost the same time, with the short-tracker ending first. I wasn't sure I would get the full body, so bid on the short tracker figgering I could always graft its roof onto a fastback body if I had to. This would actually be very difficult, as the short track body doesn't have the stock cowl area or rear panel area, but I suppose it COULD be done. If the stock body had ended first and I'd scored it, I wouldn't have bought the short tracker.

Looking forward to getting around to this one.

I have the convertible. It comes with interior tub and top boot cover. The rear seat area will need to be addressed, but it looks pretty good, otherwise.

You could always build the short tracker into a trailer to match the coupe.....

I recently did a project with a badly molded '65 GTO body:

I have a good GTO kit to build that will match this trailer.

Interesting idea, but I'd build it as an Altered drag car before I did that to it.
