Well onto round 2. Before the month is out I think there will be plenty of 'Cuda builds on the boards. Since I liked the first one so much I decided to do a second one. This one was a Christmas gift. I'm doing this one in TorRed code V2 (Plymouth) Hemi Orange V2 (Dodge). I'm going with a white interior and chrome bumpers front and back. I managed to get the body painted between snowfalls. Have a look.

Great color combo. I'm loving all these Barracudas being built!

I just got mine…. Not sure what color the first one will be. Maybe FM3 …. ;)

Thanks guys. The metallic in the paint is messing with the camera. Makes it look like I need another coat of paint when in fact I don't. I'll try to get a better pic.

Thanks

I had to use clear glosscoat on this paint job because the Tor-Red dried dull which is what it's suppose to do. I agree with everyone...the white interior should look sharp with this exterior colour.

Wow!,barely had time to catch my breath from your other cuda and you start on this beauty!,any plans for a motor swap or going with the hemi?

Thanks Curtis....I guess this one will have the Hemi as well. Would like to do a 340 or a 383 but don't have one of those engines or decals to do one.

Nice Randy... but you stole my color scheme. :P

Thanks guys.

Gerald...sorry about stealing you colour scheme! It's a great colour combination choice!

I've been working on this interior on and off all day and finally finished it. Did some silver trim painting around the guages because I didn't like the way the silver trim on the decals looked. Also painted the 'Cuda script on the doors and the Barracuda script on the dash. I found the decals provided in the kit for this didn't show up too well on my last 'Cuda so painting was the way to go. More to come!

Looks good so far Randy!

The white interior looks sharp, did you put any primer/and or paint on the seats/doorpanels, or is it bare styrene?

Thanks everyone.

Jeff.....I did not paint the white parts. The sheen was perfect to replicate the vinyl look so why waste paint or primer.
