Adam deCoste Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 hey guys i just finished this barracuda last night. This was a very bad kit to buils and lots ahad to be done on just about every part to make it fit, but in the end i think it looks ok.

DRG Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 If it was difficult to build you did a good job on it. Looks good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldscool Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Looks like you did good with this kit to me. I don't care for the stripe though. gus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam deCoste Posted March 27, 2011 Author Share Posted March 27, 2011 i was hoping the decals would come out better but they would not stick and move around alot, so they dont really look right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keef Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 looks nice for that kit, but its unsafe to drive, look at that corner of the firewall, but a little welding and some patching and it'll be back on the road before ya know it Looks real good Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
george 53 Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 This is NOT the engine compartment that comes with this kit. It looks like you modded the Dart or Duster kit's Engine compartment to fit. Did you mod the chassis to fit also? I used the Duster Engine compartment and Chassis on mine. ALOT of work, but worth it. Yours came out nice! Good job!

Good job! i see what he did there, that is the kit firewall, but the inner fenders are from an amt gtx,roadrunner,superbee kit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam deCoste Posted March 27, 2011 Author Share Posted March 27, 2011 the inner fenders i took from a AMT 68 roadrunner i built many years ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keef Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 definitely adds more detail than the kit inner fenders for sure lol....good job all the same Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam deCoste Posted March 27, 2011 Author Share Posted March 27, 2011 Thanks Mark, and i do agree with you 100%. The reason the engine bay is a bit rough is becasue near the end i rushed it, bad idea lol and the paint that looked bad on the interior was just the bad pic. I have some other builds i wanted to get to and so i just finished up this cuda really fast. The inner fenders were not really that bad to fit in there, and as you may have noticed i also forgot the battery and the washed bottle but i added that after i had looked at the pics i took. One other thing i hate about this kit are the bumpers, they dont fit and the rear bumper had a huge injector pin mark on it. O well its just another model on the shelf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keef Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 heres a couple pics of the same kit i built, i used the chassis and inner fenders from a 69 dart kit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam deCoste Posted March 27, 2011 Author Share Posted March 27, 2011 looks good keith, if i was to build one of these kits again i would put a new chassie under it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
