Just ordered and read the following booklet. Great read for anyone interested in the AWB Mopars. According to what is written in this book, there were 12 factory AWB cars - 6 Dodges, 6 Plymouths. Breakdown as follows Dodge Ramchargers - Was sold to Harrop to replace his wrecked car in 1966 - Could use Lindberg 1964 decals I guess and piece something together Dick Landy - Has been Restored - Slixx Decals has decals for car Bud Faubel "The Honker" - Has been Restored - Quarter Mile Legends did decals for car Dave Strickler - Has been Restored - Fred Cady has decals for car Roger Lindamood "Color Me Gone" - Transfered to Mr Norm for his AWB - Could use Lindberg 1964 decals I guess and piece something together Bob Harrop "Flying Carpet" - Wrecked in early 1966 - Found decals on EBAY not sure you did them originally Plymouth Sox and Martin - Has been Destroyed- Slixx Decals has decals for car Golden Commandos Mule Car - Sent back to Detriot for testing for remainder of 1965 - ????????? Golden Commandos #2 - Has been Restored - Fred Cady has decals for car Lee Smith "Learner's Sales & Service" - Has been Restored - ?????????????? - Greg's Decals has a listing for car but they do not look accurate to me colors look wrong Butch Leal "California Flash" - Was sold to Mr. Norm then wrecked and parted out- Fred Cady has decals for car Cecil Yother "Melrose Missile" - Yother claims he has remains of car after chopping roof off - Whoppie Kat has decals for car And some count Bill Flynn "Yankee Peddler" Sedan as the 13th Factory AWB. The good Stuff made decals for car

Here's an idea 2-n-1 kit. SS396 and a base 6 or 307 cu in.

The only pictures that come up for in a google search is the 65 car. I am looking to build the 1964 hardtop.

Thanks Jon. I have read where the 64 Lightweight Hardtops could be had with any interior color where the Lightweight Sedans all had red interiors so, I wasn't sure.

This about the only color picture of the 64 Hardtop that I have been able to find. Picture from Facebook - The Chrysler Package Cars. But, I still am not sure about interior color.

Don't forget the 66 Baccaruda long nose Barracuda. Model Car World Automotive Finishes has a resin kit for it.

I am looking for pictures of the 1964 Plymouth Hardtop that Bill Shirey drove with the name of "The Professor" on the door. I have a small b/w picture that came the Fred Cady Decals but I was ooking for a little bit bigger picture. Does anyone have any info on this car? Color Interior? Hemi? 426 Wedge?

I have complied a list of what I believe was the original altered wheelbase cars from Chrysler. Does anybody know if decals are availible for all of them? Anybody have any to add, I'm really looking for the original Altered cars but, we could add the others that where altered at a later date. Dodge Hardtop Altered Color Me Gone - Greg's Decals, maybe some Lindberg kit decals could be used Mr. Norms (Red.Silver Car) - Whoppie Kat Decals Mr. Norms (2 Tone Blue Car) - Fred Cady Decals Ramchargers - Fred Cady Decals? Dick Landy - Slixx Decals Dave Strickler - Fred Cady Decals Flying Carpet - Greg's Decals Studio Dodge - Fred Cady Decals? Bud Fauble The Honker - ? Dodge Sedan Altered Bill Flynn Yankee Peddler - ? Plymouth Hardtop Altered Sox and Martin - Slixx Decals Lee Smith - ? Golden Commandos - Fred Cady Decals, Maybe piece meal off Slixx Decals Sponsor sheets Melrose Missile - Whoppie Kat Decals Butch Leal The Calfornia Flash - ? Plymouth Sedan Altered Sox and Martin - Slixx Decals The Virginian - ?

Do you have a website back up yet?

Nice. I don't believe I have seen that one built before. Thanks for sharing

Look at the attached link for list of cars Joe Mannix drove. http://www.tvacres.com/autos_plymouth_mannix.htm

If you look in the front wheel opening, below, behind the front wheel, it looks like some kind of structure in there like it might be simliar to the Sedan. These are from a website I found that has pictures of the Altered Sedan as it was being restored but I am not sure if the Hardtop was the same or not. Website in which I found the restored pics from http://hiteautobodyandrestoration.com/projects/main.php. They also have pictures of the 71 Sox and Martin Cuda and 71 Dick Landy Challenger.

That's what I figured but then I see some pictures that looking in the wheelwell it looks like a rollbar tube from maybe where the hinge point of the doors down to the base of the shock tower. I have see nsome pictures of the restored cars that show this but not sure if it was like this back in '65.

I am looking for some under hood shots of the Altered Wheelbase hardtop that was campaigned by the Sox and Martin team.I am interested in seeing the inner fenders and how they were modified from stock when the "k member" was moved forward. Would anybody have any to share?

Just seen on Slixx decals facebook page a preview of there up coming Don Grotheer decals for this model kit. Pretty nice looking.

Looking for valve covers to match these. 273 HiPo Small Block for 1965 Barracuda

Here's a little something I've been messing around with. It's not perfect but it will do for me. I got hold of the new Sox and Martin Cuda kit and went to town taping and painting. I use Testors Lacquer Hemi Orange and White and used Scale Finishes 1970 Dodge B5 Bright Blue. This is all paint, no decals. Pictures aren't the best just some quick ones I took.

Yes I am looking at the Hi-Po 273 Engine. Should have mentioned that.

What would be the best source for a 273 small block for a 1965 Barracuda? Also what would be the best choice in a donor chassis? MCW says MPC 69 Cuda for chassis but was looking for more detail. Would Revell Dart or AMT 71 Duster be best since it comes with small block as well?

I agree. I plan on making a triple green 71 Charger after watching Graveyard Carz. Love the look of that Charger on the show in season 1. I have the Charger and have already glued the modelings on for the vinyl top just need to come up with a green for the top. I plan on using the same interior green on the Charger as I have used on the Cuda. Just looking for some different things to put on my shelf.

I went on Classic Industries website and ordered interior paint thru them, bit pricey but it is a 12 oz can that I can use on other models. Sprayed great and did not etch. Then I sprayed some Tamiya Semi-Gloss clear over it to try and make it look alittle more like vinyl.

Here are some photos of sub-assemblies for my Mod Top Cuda. Engine Chassis Interior Trying to finish it up this week.

Seen the Hellcat this weekend at the Chrysler Nationals at Carlisle show. Looks awesome. Ralph Gilles was even there in a Sublime Green one and did a great burnout in it. The video is all over the net. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sMVl7FIZkz4 Steve Magnante was there to introduce the Hellcat on Friday, this was a black one.
