'66 Barracuda "Hemi Under Glass"-Kit Re-engineering please?
Posted: Tue Sep 22, 2015 6:45 am
I'll be finishing up with my 56 Ford F-100 in the coming 30 days (hopefully it'll be before the show on 10 October) and was pondering my next project. I've been really itchin' to do an aircraft build but this Barracuda keeps calling my name so I'm going to go for it after my F-100. I thought I'd go ahead and lock myself into a build thread so that I'll commit myself to building this cool a$$ car.

and a pic of the kit............
Make no mistake. This kit SUCKS ROYALLY but with a little TLC it can be brought around to a decent looking build. I've got a complete "correct" AM decal sheet to replace the whole two decals that come with the kit and have just ordered a Ross Gibson 426 Race Hemi (which is like the coolest of cool for AM engines) and I was lucky to get it because all Ross Gibson engines are disappearing from all vendors due to the fact that Ross died last year. I'm also looking for the correct size drag slicks for the back which is proving to be a pain in tha............. !! Any ways, gimme a few weeks and I'll be on this one.
