Interesting they plan to make a carbon fiber 'Cuda body so why not just make the whole complete 'Cuda everyone has been begging for a long time now being teased to death.

I doubt Direct Connection is the one making it - is this the same Charger body that was at Carlisle on a new Challenger platform?

Looks like Speedkore is the builder -

They'll probably bring out a 1966 Barracuda or something

so whatever happened to the Chief Donut Maker? I've not seen or heard anything from him, but maybe I just don't follow the right sites.

Oh wow what a collection of announcements.

I cannot believe they are bringing back the 1970 Impact colors.... so freaking enticing!!!

According to MCG that pretty much blew up in their face, when the guy they chose, was found to be bashing Mopar products on line, prior to entering the contest...

Good friend of mine makes bodies and components for micro-sprints, midgets and sprint cars. About makes you sick to see that beautiful crosshatch pattern covered up with wrap.

Yeah I heard about the issue with him. I think they should have just admitted the bungle and given it to the runner-up/girl, she should have been the pick anyway! Surely they had some "protection" clauses but then since they didn't even check him out maybe not!
