M W Elky Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 This is mostly a out of the box mpc 1969 barracuda. It has the following modifications. amt blue streak slicks parts box wheels the engine is from the kit with the missing super stock hemi parts from my stash of mopar parts. The headers are made from solder and aluminum tubing paint is tamyia and decals are slixx there are a lot of different aftermarket decals available for this kit, and converting them into a super stocker is fairly easy to do. as always thanks for looking,and all the nice complements, Mike 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bisc63 Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 Sharp model, and sharp car for real! Not familiar with this car, but may need to pick up some of these decals; it's a real looker! Well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember {won't say the guy's name} a " B-A" straight black SS/BA ';65 Dodge...nasty hemi and alumiinum fenders back then. Later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most racers did this if their car wasn`t competitive in SS/A. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boss 302 mustang Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 (edited) He means that Hurst built the real hemi cudas in 1968.....there were no super stock hemi cudas built in 1969. I am doing the same thing though and building a '69 as the Sox & Martin car as it is close enough for the shelf.
