Cloning my Barracuda

67 Power Wagon said

NICE! I love the fact that the front fenders come off the body! That's a nice model, what they use for a power plant under the hood in it?

I myself, am going to seek out a 1968 or 69 cuda for a model to build as a friend has on here....I just got to run across the model, at some point!

I started with the HIGHWAY 61 & SUPER CAR COLLECTIBLE 1:18 BLACK 1968 BARRACUDA HEMI STREET MACHINE. Originally I had bought it to set on the shelf 'as is'. But it's made so well that it's a good candidate for modding. The hood is actually held on by real hood pins. The glove box door opens. The seats adjust forward and back. The antenna can be raised or lowered. The steering is functional. Doors and trunk open. Flocked carpeting. Working suspension (coil springs above the factory plastic pieces). The sun visors adjust up or down. It even has a headliner. The Hemi engine has plug wires. It's a nice piece.
