This body has been widdened by 108% to fit a wide chassis, and so the proportions are not completely true to scale.
The overall dimensions are similar to the Kyosho Mustang.
Weight comparison: K Mustang 40.9gr (with paint and glosscoat) '70 Cuda: 17.8gr without paint.
The front grill is open to allow air flow.
Feel free to post your own realisations here. This thread is also open to requests for improvement of this body.
looks great! how does it handle? what offsets are recommended?
It is difficult to describe. Because of the reduced weight the chassis feels planted, and contrary to what the body shape suggests the long overhang does not have any influence and the car is not "top heavy" at all. It feels like driving with a lexan body that has an unusual shape.
I mounted 0/+1R and it is perfect.
@Marc I don't know it will be a good idea with the large exposed interior section and no way to make a clear windscreen.

Instead of exposed interior, you could do just a flat section with "humps" simulating the seats. Windscreen could just be painted black like on regular bodies.
Being convertable doesnt necessarely mean you have to have a completely opened center section. Kind of like make a half dumby interior if you will.
No problem, just loved that show! Awesome looking bodies there mate! Can we get a picture of that Cuda next to the Camero? Bet they look sweet together!

Good idea. Will do that whe the details on the Cuda are done.
I started detailing it. I don't know if I will go the complete Hemi decoration (quarter panels and scoop in black) and I don't know if I will chrome the bumpers.
To use an Ilap transponder on my Exige, I drilled a 3mm hole on the bottom of the windshield. Hardly noticeable... I too would prefer a front clear window, but this will work.
