I took apart my mpc 1969 plymouth barracuda model and redid it as the right hand drive 69 Chrysler valiant barracuda from south Africa which was in production for 3 year 68 ,69 ,70 I put a Chrysler 225 slant 6 under the hood as that was the only engine option these cars had I cut apart a Revell 68,69 dart dash and rearranged the parts to make it a right hand drive dash I also made bumper guards and added this vinyl roof section on the roof that I saw in the reference pics I used I also modified a set of rims from my parts boxes to match the ones on the car in the reference pics
I painted the body a base coat rust-oleum 2x gloss apple red and a top coat of eastup high performance wheel paint flash orange gold
I did all the body and interior detail paint work with a few different colors of acrylic craft paint using dead ultra fine tip sharpie markers instead of paint brushes
i have a 1969 cover of proud mary sund by a south african band called the rising sons playing in the back ground of the video
