Body change of plans - the Billy Watson body is going on this build after all, and the new Gene/ZR1 body is going on the new HR Big Wheels Cuc build. The misstep was caused by not remembering the Billy Watson re-pop was based on a Victor Ferguson body, which is significantly wider than a standard Cuc. The new Gene/ZR1 body is same dimensions as an original, so it's not wide enough for this car.
My mistake, sorry for the confusion 
Heck, sometimes I actually LIKE pantylines

Billy can sand off or fill in the fender lines and pull a new body. I'm sure he would not have a problem with that.

Cool, Red, that's a thought. I'll ask when we race in April. Hope you will be there?
Used my awesome fishing skills to harpoon the first pin hole in the Billy Cuc body

Test result:
Excellent in every way, plain and simple, no improvements needed.
John Clow and I both drove it fairly hard for about 20 laps with zero deslots.
It's done
