made ya look.
Been a while since we bought any scaley cars.Picked up a couple and really like the way they run.Very little tuning needed.Added some weight,spacer on the rear axle to snug it up,trued up the tires.Now to find an orange Rosco cop car... :D

Rusty - thank you for the heads up on the decals - I'll have to drop Dodge Fan a PM to see if he would consider making an additional set for my white Charger as yours turned out AWESOME!
Thanks again for sharing and sharing the info!

Rusty -
Dodge Fan was nice enough to get me set up with a set of the decals - but I am going a slightly different route on my "ghost"... instead of going with the white base - I've gone with a silver metallic base (Duplicolor BFM0383).
(teaser shot below...) :)
The decals are drying now - and hopefully, if the weather cooperates, I will be laying clear on this weekend!
Enjoy!

Thank you for the compliments guys!
I am really happy with the look of that silver on there and now that she has been clear coated and has had all the pieces parts put back on, I am REALLY happy with how it turned out!

While I was waiting for everything to cure - I did get the motor broke in, tire assemblies trued and everything glued into the chassis, so she will be good to go come maiden voyage to the track! :D

(I got a bit snap happy with the pictures - Enjoy!) :)
