Comments? Interest? Lemme know. I love them and can't wait to get one painted and stickered.

sweet. those look really good.

i was thinking of doing a smokey yunik black/gold camaro. those decals would be easy. i think the only decals on the car were numbers.

Beautiful. I can't wait to see it painted and decaled either. Very, very nice work.

Jason, that is acutally next....... Yunick and Penske supplements sheets. That has been on the drawing board for a while, but was shelved as the Camaro at the time was old news and the new news was the Cuda.

who makes a 68 camaro body without a cowl hood? the last one i saw somewhere had a cowl hood, but it might have been a 69.

i've always liked this car. so simple, but to me it looks freakin' awesome.

Jay, those look fantastic. I'd love to do up one of those cars... Trans Am has always been one of my all time favorite race series. If ya need a painter, let me know.


That reminds me, I need to get you artwork for the DirtOval.com decals once we get into the new house. Your work is excellent.

HPI makes the vintage Trans Am & muscle car bodies... http://www.hpiracing.com/products/en/7494.html

Jason, if you follow the link that Doug posted, you'll see what you are looking for. My intent was to get a supplement done with the different Sunoco numbers and replace the HPI Racing with Penske Hilton Racing and Sunoco to make it correct. I was even thinking about doing the 67/68 verisons even though the body is a 69... that would also include the George Follmer car with the yellow racing stripes.

BTW, I think I am going to paint a Cuda up, or two, give one to Dan Gurney himself as a gift and maybe ask for an autograph on another.

cool. now, does anyone know if the 6mm offset wheels are a positive or negative offset? if they're positive, is that 6mm a total between the pair, or 6mm per wheel?

my only touring car is 190mm, and the body is 200mm. so i need to know if they'll make the car 196mm or 202mm.

All these questions.... you sound like my wife.

You run 6mm offset wheels on an electric car to fit the 200mm bodies. 0mm offset if you want it to stay the same overall width. They also do 26mm and 31mm width wheels, too, so you can pretty much get any stance you want on an electric TC.

thanks doug.
