I like the way you think! I just finished my 'cuda to go along with my Camaro.... with should have a heads up. I was just in Texas (austin for sxsw) and was thinking of you and wished I bought my car down as we spent a day in Houston.

Love the camaro brother

I added bigger rear tires and allready bend 2 axles. Good thing that they are not hard to make.

Status: offline 		heheh, sorry for the confusion. I meant coming Sunday is our next TNT. I'm hoping to have a better turnout then last time. And if the weather says warm, I'll have some good traction to boot.

Status: offline 		That cuda paintjob looks sweet man. It's nice running 4s in a light car.
Might have to get the same body for my next ride and make that hood scoop functional.

Status: offline 		Mine had an X'acto knife to cut out the scoop intake as well. It's a very small slit but, a little air is better than none!

I like the Camaro body better... you have to cut and tape on the rear-end of the 'Cuda! I didn't know it was a 2 piece body when I ordered it but.. I think it came out nice.

Status: offline 		Yeah, I wish I did my front air dam like yours... Looks awesome! But, we both have rear-ends that look amazing under the camaro shell (as you know I love to showoff, haha)! Hey, on your chassis... did you fabricate the aluminum motor mounts/ rear axle brace to fit the Fiego?

Status: offline 		No, that's the stock mount. It's a old school fine design car. There is a guy on Sadragracing.com that sells the exact same car for 200 shipped if you are interested. Cheaper if you ask him to sell it as a roller. I was going to purchase it, but had to back out from the sale.

Status: offline 		wow wow wow... you could almost put any motor in that bracket! I will go and look! I just finished my rustler dragster... It's not as sweet as yours but, I hope to test her out tomorrow. Where can I find nice skinnys for the front with bearing mounts... I've never seen them for sell but, a local guy has a dragster with skinnys that have a traditional bearing (flanged) that slips on the axle and mounts with a nut not a C-clip. Hard to explain.. but it was sick looking as well as effective.

Status: offline 		If you want skinnies in the front, you'll have to custom something. In San Antonio, the guys just put big O-rings on buggies wheels. Some just trim the rims and fit only 1 O-ring. Works great for them. On my next one, I'll just cut up some onroad wheels and fit O-rings on them.
