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.
