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!
:D

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!) :)
