Mopar - D Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 I’m starting with the Testors 71 Cuda kit that is lacking a lot of details so I’m going to make it a Barracuda and change out most of the parts with a Revell 70’s T/A Cuda kit. I’m going with a 383 engine and front bench seat. This is going to be car number 4 for my 1971 car transporter that I’m planning on building in the future. Hears what I’m starting with so far.

afx Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 I did a '71 Barracuda conversion on the Revell kit. Looking forward Dan to following your project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bainford Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 Cool project, both this and the transporter project. I'm watching. I've been planning a similar build, but stuffing the Revell kit into an MPC '74 Cuda. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1972coronet Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 The old Johan S&M 1971 Barracuda Pro Stock -- great starting point for a Barracuda model (no "fender gills" from the 'Cuda model). What kit are you planning to download the 383 from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Force Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 Yes it's the Jo-Han kit and it was the last time it was seen as the tooling disappeared after that run together with the 1970 Olds, the Rambler S/C and the Mercury Comet, I kknow there were plans to reissue them but the tooling was lost.

For the car transporter I’m trying to figure out a 8 car hauler seeing I have a 5, 2-6, 7 and 9 car haulers .

Yea this is the reissued JoHan under the Testor label. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
