Interesting Cuda project to follow.  I actually like Hot Rod Garage, it usually has some good info.

I got a chance to check it out at SEMA on Wednesday. Kind of a luke warm reception compared to the Shakedown Challenger or Mark Worman's '71 'CUDA.
The FishTail is not done but the major components are installed and it received a quicky paint job.  Being a Drift car I don't think they spent a lot on bodywork and paint.

Don't get too used to it though, Drift cars have a short shelf life

I like the whole idea of it and hope it kicks some butt when it's done.  BTW the T/A stands for Tony Angelo as an inside joke.
He took a moment to answer a couple of my questions back inside at the Motor Trend display and was super nice to me.

Is it painted or wrapped?  Looks wrapped to me but who knows, I still think it's rad

I believe it is Matte paint with 3 different AAR decals that were spliced together. Several dings and dents are still visible under the paint. Not a big deal because Drift car.

Many cars had matte paint at the show. Honestly, I thought that style was over in 2013 but I guess it's back big time.
