Terry Jessee Posted October 17, 2010 Posted October 17, 2010 This the AMT "Fireball 500" kit. The car was actually called the "XSSR," which stood for Experimental Super Stock Roadster (or something like that). This was a '66 Barracuda when George Barris started with it. It wound up essentially as a prop for the movie. I lowered the front a bit. The model is just built out of the box. Photos don't show it very well but there is a fade from the white to the red--white, yellow, orange, red. The windshields are tinted with Tamiya Clear Yellow. Terry
Jon Cole Posted October 17, 2010 Posted October 17, 2010 Dang, that's nice! Good job Terry. But... I see red... I see white... are you sure there is orange and yellow in there?
