Recommended Posts

I've got all kinds of pictures on file at home. You looking for something close to as delivered or replica drag ?

Can post some later (on my phone now )

My daughter graduates in the morning so it's been kind of hectic the past few weeks

The biggest problem is to find a '68 Barracuda kit to build from, the AMT (ex MPC) Barracuda kit reissued several times in the last decades is a 69 and the old MPC 68 Barracuda annual kits are hard to find for reasonable money.

The 1968 is the only model year for this style Barracuda (together with the 68 Hemi Dart) classified for NHRA (and most others) Super Stock competition with the Hemi so the 69 will not work if you want to be correct as a 69 Hemi Barracuda never was built.

But there are some resin casters who does the 68 Barracuda or has a transkit with the front, the hood and rear panel to do a 68 from a 69 so all hope is not lost, but it would be great if Revell did a 68 Barracuda based on the 68 Hemi Dart kit as we need a better one than what's available to us at this point.

HERE A PIC OF MY 68 CUDA SS/A

I gotto ask, where on earth did you find the "528" looking Hemi valve covers? Those are completely different then any I've seen! -The intake, Hemi Cross-Ram, that looks as tho its scratch built, is it? IF so, NICELY DONE SIR!

NICE detail job too BTW, that looks GREAT!
