AMT 1960 Chevy Nomad Wagon and 1965 Barracuda Craftsman Plus Kits Interesting Features.

[Ragtop Man]

I'm recalling a magazine story (HRM?) that showed the original Mk 1. Mod 0 HUG being fitted with a S/S cross ram Hemi. 

Front suspension was stock, or darn close.

Anyone have that to post?

The original HUG did have stock front suspension and a cross-ram Hemi.  Like the Little Red Wagon, it was originally intended to be a racing package.  The injectors went on both because they were easier to deal with in a wheelstand situation.

Do both cars have provisions for a modeler to install an engine of any type? When I saw the R2 video featuring the Nomad and Barracuda, the bottom of the boxes that featured the parts trees showed the hoods of both cars that were separated from the main bodies of both.

Hoods will be separate in both kits, and there will be some underhood parts like firewalls.  The earlier '64 Chevelle and '68 GTO also had separate hoods.
