I bought 5 1969 Barracudas a couple of weeks ago. They will go on my car transport trailer. This is the first one I am building. I decided to put the 225 cu. in. slant 6 engine from my 1967 Barracuda in it. The chassis is from Modelhaus. It has the single exhaust system molded into it. I had to add a piece of plastic to the chassis for the front of the engine to sit on. After that the engine fit perfectly! The kit came with a 383 cu. in. engine. So far the engine and chassis are done. The interior is about 2/3 done.

Polar Bear and Greggor wanted to watch and help!

Thank you JED! Here is the new apprentice.
He is kind of hungry.

I had to stop him from eating these parts!

I think my grandchildren will like these pictures!

It will be a bright yellow. I have to buy a can, so I don’t know the name of the color yet.

It sprays on well for me and doesn't seem to be too thick. Dries pretty fast, too.
