Re: "Thread Locker" 66 Barracuda "Hemi Under Glass"
Ok folks. I found a set of slicks I can live with from the Revell 68 Hemi Dart boxing. Looks like I might have to shave a tad out of the wheel openings but its all workable. I also robbed a set of rear wheels from that kit. The front wheels came from AMT's 37 Chevy Gasser kit and I'm still working on finding a shorter and more narrow front tire. I'll get there though.
Here's a couple of mock up shots:

this is gonna be good! More, please.
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

Looking good so far. I can see where the trimming needs/might be done. Although would the tires be tucked underneath the body anyways?

Went out to HL and picked this one up on clearance. In addition to having a spare 427 in the spares bin it had the PERFECT size front runners for what I was looking for in this build.
The score:
The previous look .....
and the updated look with the replacement tires.....
Yeah......I'm definitely feelin' this!!!!!!

Thanks Kari!
After looking at reference photos a little closer, the Hemi that's in this 1:1 car is not supercharged but is Hillborn fuel injected. I've already ordered the appropriate resin intake manifold and aluminum intake stacks. Still using the Ross Gibson engine as a base though.
The manifold and stacks can clearly be seen through the rear glass in this shot: Hmm and looking at the hood a little closer I'm going to have to order a hood quick release pin set.........

Nice shot - that's one cool looking car. Your mock up shot's look good - seems to capture the shape well.
