Yep, true, but the Cuda Gordon Spice drove ran under Group 1B regulations, which were pretty strict, and it was limited to wearing quite skinny wheels, which wouldn't have helped. One of the Gurney AAR Cuda's found its way to France in 1971 and this car was also fitted with a Hemi, and I believe it was more successful, as it ran to Group 2 rules, which allowed more freedoms, including much wider wheels. But you're right, its a big old lump of ballast to carry over the front wheels. But HMC is really only about having fun, so it'll be a cool car either way, but Mike will get it running pretty well.

Fantastic news - just what the class needs - a dose of variety to keep all the punters interested. Now all we need is a Mercury Cougar or Cyclone, a Dodge Challenger or a Chevvy Nova.
