crazyjim Posted August 3, 2012 Posted August 3, 2012 Yeah - that's what we used to call them. Baccaruda. HOK scarlett kandy over a gold base and then a part urethane clear. I felt up when I started it so the car went up in the air. I didn't like the kit engine, so I put in a Hemi. And here's an outdoors shot.
espo Posted August 3, 2012 Posted August 3, 2012 Great build. I like the interior, and then theres the HEMI.
Harry P. Posted August 3, 2012 Posted August 3, 2012 Very nice! (aside from the very "iffy" hood fit...)
crazyjim Posted August 3, 2012 Author Posted August 3, 2012 Thanks Espo. Jairus Watson designed a T-shirt a couple of years ago "Yeah - it's a HEMI". I like the shirt. Thank you, Harry. I think the 2 part urethane clear is too thick. I have to start planning for the paint by sanding the sides of the hood, doors, etc. And here it is Friday night. Time for pizza, pool, popcorn, and WWE Friday Night Smackdown. Hope everyone has a present evening. Tomorrow is the ONE YEAR anniversary of the Florida Auto & Scale Trucks Model Club (FAST). We're gonna have cake.
Harry P. Posted August 3, 2012 Posted August 3, 2012 I think the 2 part urethane clear is too thick. But it sure is shiny!
Bartster Posted August 4, 2012 Posted August 4, 2012 Very cool, Jim. You sure were up! That's how we did 'em back in the old days! l like it all. Color & interior combo, high boy stance. & of course the Hemi!! You train that dog to attack SHINY?
John Teresi Posted August 4, 2012 Posted August 4, 2012 Jim......Beautiful looking build.......NICE!!!!!!
Miatatom Posted August 4, 2012 Posted August 4, 2012 Nice colors, but I would say that since I'm a University of Tennessee alum and fan.
slusher Posted August 4, 2012 Posted August 4, 2012 Jim, very nice work on the Barracuda, really nice job on the flocking and color of it. nice touch on the wheels and hemi. May l ask what kit you scourced it? l have had that happen to me on the hood clearance...
crazyjim Posted August 4, 2012 Author Posted August 4, 2012 Thank you all for the comments. I'm going to try and sand the edges of the hood before taking it to the IPMS nationals next week. Bart - the dog is baking at his reflection in the SHINY :) Tom - I know nothing about UT. Slusher - this is one of 3 kits in a muscle car box. There was a '69 Torino Cobra Jet (under glass), this Barracuda, and a '69 Olds 442 (under construction).
JunkPile Posted August 4, 2012 Posted August 4, 2012 Nice lookin' build Jim, and love that paint. The color kind of has a RUST hue to it. Is this a sign of something new that may be developing around your bench? :)
TooOld Posted August 4, 2012 Posted August 4, 2012 Looks really sharp ! I like everything on this one , especially the contrasting interior colors .
Miatatom Posted August 4, 2012 Posted August 4, 2012 Tom - I know nothing about UT. That's not Florida orange, is it? 8^)

crazyjim Posted August 5, 2012 Author Posted August 5, 2012 Rust? Me? I don't think so Chuck. It's scarlett Nice lookin' build Jim, and love that paint. The color kind of has a RUST hue to it. Is this a sign of something new that may be developing around your bench? :) rust? Me? Not a chance, Chuck. The color is scarlett (as in red) but over a gold basecoat is it's orangy. SHINY :) RULES!
crazyjim Posted August 5, 2012 Author Posted August 5, 2012 Thank you all for the positive comments. No school or state colors involved here. It's just red over gold = orange. I wouldn't a school color if it bit me in the butt. I should know USF colors where Marcia got her masters, but I don't. I do know GO BULLS, though. Yeah Andy SHINY :) RULES!
Guest Johnny Posted August 5, 2012 Posted August 5, 2012 Nice looking Cuda! Even if the hood don't fit! Heck, I've seen 1:1 glass hoods fit worse! Finishing up the BMF on mine and hope to post pictures soon.
crazyjim Posted August 5, 2012 Author Posted August 5, 2012 Thanks Johnny. After IPMS nationals, I'm going to sand the sides of the hood so it'll fit flush. Looking forward to seeing yours soon.
TheCat Posted August 6, 2012 Posted August 6, 2012 Jim - You did a great job on the interior and also a great job on the exterior paint. Love it!!
crazyjim Posted August 6, 2012 Author Posted August 6, 2012 Thanks Felix. I removed the rear seat and made a package shelf kind of thing.
