caine440 Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 This is my first build in almost a year. Being a new dad really cut into the bench time. This is a resin kit from Bandit resin. I messed up the paint several times so this is as good as this one is going to get. I had several fit up issues but I am ok with how it turned out. Thanks for looking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1972coronet Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 (edited) That's a super Super Stock , Roger ! That first photo looks like it's from Orange County International Raceway ( US 101 / I-5 , Irvine : 1967-1983 ) , judging by the EMPI wall banners ( ). Didn't S&M campaign a SS/D Barracuda 340 in 1968 as well ? Edited July 4, 2014 by 1972coronet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gtx6970 Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 (edited) Didn't S&M campaign a SS/D Barracuda 340 in 1968 as well ? I know they had a 340 car,,but don't know what class it ran. And I dont think the car ever had the typical red - white and blue S+M paint scheme. Best I can remember the car was all white. But I could be wrong.

gtx6970 Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Cool build. If I may ask, why the blue engine. ? I know pics of this car back in the day can be a bit tough to find. But every pic I've seen of this car the engine was orange Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caine440 Posted July 5, 2014 Author Share Posted July 5, 2014 Jake King painted the Sox & martin Hemis blue. I have not been able to tell if and when they ever were orange. Up to 1970 I have found they were blue. I used the magazine photos I have a for reference. The cover of SuperStock June 1968 has a nice photos of the motor. Thanks for asking.

Force Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 (edited) As far as I know Jake King painted the engines he built for Sox & Martin Ford Engine Blue as a homage to his own time racing Ford's and to easily identify his work. Jake drove the Atwater Ford Thunderbolt before he joined Sox & Martin. I have pictures from back in the day when Ronnie Sox were still active of Sox & Martin 68 Barracuda's running in SS/A, SS/B, SS/D, E/SA (340 car), FX, A/MP and Pro Edited July 5, 2014 by Force Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
