  1. Which is correct? Barracuda - Restored Barracuda - Original AWB - Restored AWB - Original To my eye the AWB is to Gold but, I don't know for sure. I do know that Bruce (current owner of Barracuda) is now a member of the Golden Commandos and was in talks with Ray Kobe of the Commandos during restorationof the Barracuda. Either way, this is a very welcomed kit. I know I will be buying a case of them. Can we hope for the sister Dodge next?
  2. Your welcome Steve. Here's the link to the Commandos Barracuda build I have been working on. I'm hung up on the fender well headers right now. Need to get them done before I can move on. http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/topic/102568-1965-fstock-barracuda-golden-commandos/#comment-1437191
  3. I have been talking with the owner / restorer of the Goldfish Barracuda that the Commandos ran in 65 and he has told me to use 1970 Dark Burnt Orange for the color. He asked me to build a model of his car and to use that color. Decals can be had through graphics sheets from Slixx and Fred Cady did a sheet years ago as well.
  4. Now that is a Grand Slam!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  5. I'm the 56 300B in Black
  6. Yes it is.
  7. After 4 years I have finally finished this one up. Wow this kit has been out this long already. Great kit, have a few more to build. Loving the Moebius Kits.

  9. Finally got some time this weekend and finished it up.
  10. Kit looks great after spending sometime looking at it . The only thing I have really noticed thus far is the panel lines are not scribed all that well. They appear that they will be lost under a heavy coat of primer, paint and clear. Will need to be scribed deeper prior to paint.
  11. That's right. Fred Cady did the Bill Shirey "The Professor". I had even started the 1964 car. Duh!!!
  12. Loving this. Question what other decals are out there that would work on this kit? Bill Jenkins http://www.slixx.com/7170.htm?id=4629 Shirley Shahan http://www.slixx.com/7153.htm?id=4583 Bill Shirey http://stores.smhracing.com/458-the-professor-64-65-plymouth-bill-shirey/ Ronnie Sox ran a stock wheelbase as well Anybody know of any others?
  13. Just got one this past weekend. Great looking kit. Can not wait for the up coming kits based of of this one.
  14. Found this Dark Red and thought I'd try it to see how it looked with the body colors. Not sure about it though. What do you all think?
  15. Looks nice. I need to finish mine.
  16. What do you all think about a Red Interior? Trying to come up with something different color wise other than Tan or Black.
  17. Just don't know.
  18. Thanks for the pic. I went looking for something like this. Not sure if I like it enough to do though. Need to think about some more.
  19. Toying around with the idea of a custom grille using a Desoto tooth grille between stock turn signals. Not sure about it though. What do you all think? I have the grille but hate to cut up stock Chevy grille in case I don't like it. Maybe I'll try to do a mock up tomotrow with out cutting anything yet.
  20. Looks like something out of the Coughlin family from Ohio. I'm still not sure about the looks of this body style Vette but great job on it.
  21. Made a choice on the trim and set about to shaving some Bel Air trim off the sides and gave a quick coat of Tamiya Primer to see what needs to be cleaned up yet. Used the gray primer so imprefections will show up better but will prime in white before paint it applied. Toying around with the idea of deleting the vent windows or not. What do you all think? Not sure about wheels either, any suggestions? I am thinking about baby moons but not sure. Thinking about maybe a 50's or 60's flare to it.
  22. Here are a few that I have built with Torq's My personal car One my wife would like to own
  23. Any updates?
  24. Was thinking about this last night some while trying to kids to bed and this is what I'm thinking for 2 tone and side trim. A little embarrassed to post this for it being so primitive but oh well.
  25. My thoughts on 2-tone was blue body with white from beltline up. But, I just am not sure right now. Another thought depending on trim I decide, paint the body Blue and the "panels" White
