MPC Barracuda . being converted to a 1968 Hemi Cuda. Sadly,, it's been sitting like this for well over 10 years.

MPC body, modified barracuda interio sitting on a modified Revell 1969 Dart chassis .

Ultimately , it's supposed to be the 1st 1968 Hemi Cuda ,, the Mule car.

Cut it right behind the trans crossmember / torsion bar crossmember area then narrow it slightly behind the rear wheels to accomodate the narrower Barracuda body.

I'll pull a stock Dart chassis out and snap off a comparison picture to show the difference between the 2 maybe over the weekend

Piece of cake mod that is SO much better than the old mpc chassis.

And I wish it was back on the bench, this is another one of those projects I forgot I had till I was lookign for something else and stumbled onto it in a box , maybe someday soon though.

Joker,

Where did you get the '59 El Camino Body from? I'm doing a Resto on one of my father's models; a '59 Lonestar Camino. The 'A' pillar is broken and an entire mosaic looking piece missing from the roof from a crush I suppose. If like to repair, but the styrene is so acient that body work is difficult. Maybe I can ship the body to one of you masters to help me with???

Great thread Doc!

V/R, CWO3 Beaman
