mangodart Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Hello Another "old build" from maybe ten years ago, started with a clean unpainted drag built, I decide to restore it on stock form, had to reworked the front wheels opening as it was enlarged for the drag headers, hood, front valance and hubcaps from Modelhaus, 273 engine from the 64 Lindberg/IMC Dodge pick up, correct fenderwells are from a 68 Revell Dart. Hope you'll like it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Haigwood Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Looks great Where does one find a 65 Barracuda kit/body ? A local builder is looking for one to build a model of his 1:1 car Thanks Someday I will start my 66 Barracuda build for my 1:1 car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phildaupho Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 You did a fantastic job converting a drag car back to stock configuration. Did you use the Hemi Under Glass? I have been wanting to build a Trans-Am version of the Barracuda so would have to do a similar conversion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Hemi Under Glass is a 66, not a 65, I use an original built model from 65 which I restored Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevenGuthmiller Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Very cool Emmanuel! My favorite Barracuda body style was the '67-'69 coupe. But it's really nice to see one of these, especially stock!! You see them occasionally, but they're usually butchered in one way or another. No offense to the customizers & race fans.

MrObsessive Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Aaahhh! That IS very, very nice! Now I know what to do with the '65 Barracuda build-up I have that's been languishing for years! One question--------were the chassis's on the '65 Barracuda and '68-'69 Darts essentially the same? That would put some very nice detail in that area if I ever decide to restore mine.
