That does look good.   Did you ever do gills on the front fenders?   

I looked at it but don't want to risk all the work I've done so far but screwing up the gills.  I'll just build is as a phantom '71 Hemi "Barracuda"

That looks great AFX! 

Are these the tires that you used?

Or even a Hemi conversion of a Barracuda ( "BH23" ) , perhaps even an M/P competitor . 

For 1971 Plymouth "fudged" the shipping weight for the 'Cuda (more so the convertible) so that it could be campaigned in the highly-competitive SS/E(A) class . I've seen images of "1970" models with "1970" grille , and a decal covering the 1971's gills .

Those are the ones David.  I used the larger size at the rear and the smaller up front.

The intent is to replicate the '71 Don Grotheer donor car minus the fender gills.  Here is the build thread:

Thanks AFX. Just my luck they are sold out everywhere.

Does anyone know if these tires come in any kits? It looks like they may come in the AMT `68 Camaro kit? The Olds kit appears to have them, but only the small ones are in that kit. 

[Matt T.]

‘68 Camaro kit has six tires, four small & two big.

Actually, my AMT '68 Camaro came with a complete set of 4 for each tire size, 8 altogether, all of them the tampo-printed white letters.  Was almost worth buying it at HL just for the tires.

I bought mine right after Round 2 reissued it a few years ago.  I believe they're still producing it, did they maybe de-content it and eliminate a pair?

[Hawk312]

Matt and Robber,

I believe there were two Amt 68 Camaro kits, one in blue with rallye wheels on the box, and one in red or orange with cragar sst wheels on the box. Do you remember which one you got?

[Mr mopar]

Anybody got the new AAR Cuda that they can show us all inside the box ?

Yes saw that a few days ago also

[drodg]

Also it would be a great add if Joseph at Fireball made a small block intake and carbs for the six pack on the AAR Cuda like he has for the big block....

The Red/orange AMT Camaro at H/L has 8 tires, four small, four large.

Specifically, the AMTT868/12  '68 Camaro Z/28 Retro Deluxe reissue has a set of 4 Goodyear Polyglas GT F60-15 and a set of 4 Goodyear Polyglas GT L60-15 tires.  All with white lettering.

So if I am reading that right, witha half off coupon you get 2 sets of great tires, plus a Camaro kit, for about the same price as a Parts Pack of tires!

No idea.  I didn't get mine from HL.

I bought one yesterday but it's being shipped up from the States so will maybe have it by the end of next week. I'm sure someone else will have one in hand before that.

[stavanzer]

Chris, you are essentially correct. An 8 Pac of Big'n'Littles with a free Camaro.

Is that grille from the Revellogram 71?

Yep. I modified the 1/24 scale Revellogram grille and front valance to fit the new tool Cuda

Also grafted in the '71 tail lights

Looking at the box of the AAR Cuda looks like it comes with a Dana rear end and Toque boxes . is this correct ?
