Billy way to go! -Mark

Mark, as Mike and Andy have stated the Revell Top Fuelers as well as MPC and later AMT Jawbreaker kits contain nice Bug Catcher injectors. As Mike says the Revell units had were a 2 piece affair and I believe it was done that way to accommodate functional butterflys. I don’t have a Revell unit in this little handful of injectors but I believe one is the unit frim the Jawbreaker. Andy perhaps can help here. See I never had the kit. These are part of a box of blower components I got from a late friend which he collected over 50 years so I’m not sure from where they all came. Anyhow…..you want ‘em, they’re yours. Mark

Robbie this is sick! The jump seats in the bed are a nice touch. Live dangerously I always say! I include some pics for your enjoyment. -Mark

Bob thanks for sharing! I wish I could claim it but nope…. Paint is too nice to be mine! -Mark

Carl it’s really nicely done buddy! -Mark

Tom very nice design! Just for laughs I included these George Trosley renderings because your build reminded me of a Krass & Bernie car. Happy building my friend.- Mark

Walter very nice! -Mark

Good stuff guys. I know Randy Rhoads, Ozzy Osbourne’s guitarist extraordinaire was an avid model railroad and a friend told me the Jim Belushi is a model car builder but I have not heard Jim himself say so. A couple NFL players were avid model car builders as well.

Gene nice job! I can appreciate the amount of work involved for the conversion. -Mark

Anton this is a tight build!-Mark

Stuart…..OOOF!!! That is a guy punch of Olds muscle.-Mark

Wow Kimmo just wow! To quote Gray Baskerville that is a hammered hottie.- Mark

Matt it’s cool! Nice job- Mark

Micah your work is fantastic in 1:1 and in scale! Your wife’s murals on her car are amazing. Both your cars are amazing. Looking forward to your Camaro! -Mark

Ron very nice weathering and building going on here! -Mark

Michelle this is fantastic! A very 1970s era street machine made from 70s era MPC parts. Very neat. Happy building! -Mark

Pat you got 2 awesome builds out of one kit?! No mean feat. This is very cool and I can’t wait to see the truck. -Mark

Thomas it is stunning! I have a soft spot for Koenigs since a Koenig 928 S4 buzzed past my family’s rented van at about 160 mph on an Autobahn near Munich in summer of ‘86. I’ll never forget that. Anyhow your photography is excellent as well. -Mark

Billy this will be a nice mate for your awesome Dart. The blue Cuda photo I included shows one other difference from a 69, but I’m not sure how much it matters. What I’m referring to is the marker lights… On the 68 Barracudas as well as some other Mopar bodies they were a little round units. But as you can see in the two photos, I included (to give you some inspiration lol) the B029 Barracudas fiberglass front fenders seem to have them deleted which makes sense on a track only use vehicle. But it appears that the B029s did retain them on the rear fenders. I think it would be an easy fix though (especially if you only have to do 2!). Some of the current tubbed Super Stock Barracudas Ive seen have been customized to have no marker lights front or rear fenders. You may not care about it but I thought I’d offer that info . If you do care you may want to do more research because I don’t always know what I’m talking about to quote an Alice Cooper song! Great job on your tail light by the way. -Mark

Charles, I don’t have this kit therefore I can’t help you with any missing body pieces but what else do you need to finish it? I have tons of drag car parts. And I have a friend who resin casts drag racing parts. I love your project and it looks like you’re doing a fantastic job on the roll cage. I can try to help you collect what you need to finish it but again I don’t have access to any of the missing Super Stallion body parts. -Mark

Charles I like it!

A few more. Just trying to help your awesome project. I’m a fool for 1/16!

A few pictures from the Hot Rod Magazine article and a couple others I found.
