Another Mopar Off My Bucket List - Barracuda Fastback

John, where have you been? Theresa, have you painting houses? You watching Bullitt in the theater room? Putting up Halloween decorations? Playing with slot cars? Etc.....check in.
It's been a while.

I'd like to say that my absence was due to tons of progress on the funnycar or Charger but it was because my garage computer was serving duty as part of our Halloween exhibit.

The weather here has been pretty crappy most of the time. It's made it impossible to accomplish much outside on the cars. With the exception of a few days it's been cold, rainy, and windy. To stay busy I've been putting more time on the basement racetrack. I didn't get elaborate with landscaping hills or anything difficult. Instead I've concentrated on lighting, grass, and trees. Most of it is done but I've got a few animated billboards coming yet that should be here by this weekend. They should look great when they're lit up and flashing.

I used poster board to construct a grandstand and printed an image of spectators to apply on it.

After adding the street lights I decided to get a few cars that had headlights & tail lights for night driving. The SRT8 police car also has flashing roof lights.

Although I hadn't intended on buying an additional NASCAR for the track, I put a bid in on eBay on this Charger because it was selling cheap and I won it.

I'd rather be playing with the big stuff in the garage (or out on the driveway) but I guess I'm keeping busy anyway.
