Hey Frank,

Looking good man !! :good: Love those Cuc's paint schemes :victory:

I'll have to get some more vac-ed up :friends:

i-ray

PS How are you mounting them- with or without=front wheels?These are the version #2 which I raised the front areas. The version #1's had more of a sloop/original look to them :D

YO Ray... If you can send me one of the vershion # 1 you have and I can check out the difference.. All the cars must have front wheels or it's not a car, it's a bike. [ lol ]

Thanks.. Mr. Frank

:wub: :wub: :clapping: Ya !! I like them :yahoo:
You and Brian already have and original design version # 1 adapted to the new Supercuc-open top, also with original wheel opening's set-up :D If you take the two versions front to front and look at them. You will notice the front rake difference's. The original sloops down more to the nose in, in #2 version, I raised the rake to the nose. Which allows the guide to move freely,(if mounted correctly lol.)and lower the body over all. Take a look guys and let me know what you think? feedback is always welcomed.
Frank, the H.O. Supercuc looks awesome man!! The ones I sent were the thicker .020 sense I had some cut already. You'll have to mounted one to see how the body works? Now all you need is the 1/32 version of the Supercuc to complete the collection. B) Then again, there is the Nijinanoda lacuc version people haven't seen yet :ph34r:

Hey Dennis! hows it going Bud?

:friends: :friends:

i-ray

PS Frank, do you do the cuc's driver busts??? :)You know, I do make a Supercuc one peace canopy for the original lacucaraca's :D

Steve,

Put a Cuc on your retro-flexi and you'll be amazed at how good it handles plus they look way cooler then those stuffy azz sports cars do.

Talk to Frank or Brian McP. from REM they can fix you up with a shell.

So far were just getting things going with The Worlds First Thingie Enduro but it looks like we have commitment from 5 or 6 teams. We will need 8 or more and I think we should get that easily.

Talk to you this weekend at Franks.
