Bad Barracuda

[V8-valiant]

Hot Rod Chassis & Cycle out of Illinois knocked it out of the park again. First the Violent Valiant and now this Barracuda. I saw this at Sema last week and can’t believe I didn’t get any photos of the whole car. I had to steal some from the internet. I got all interested in how they incorporated the radiator as a bolt in/radiator support and had to take a bunch of reference photos. I think I need to do this with my valiant.

I've never saw an early A I cared for too much, until now. That one is very nice!

That's super cool, but I must admit, I like the Violent Valiant better. I have a 64 so maybe I'm biased. lol

I cant believe i missed it. Darnit!
Did lots of walking, was overwhelming to say the least.
Would have liked to get a close look at it. I missed a lot, but they say you cant see it all.

They seem very talented..but that big rim rubber band tire look..not a fan of it on any old muscle cars..

I'm gonna be the naysayer on this one. In my opinion, the car misses the mark in far too many ways. Underhood with the unpainted panels is just the start for me...

I understand and agree with you on the underhood panels and the fact that they were held in by pop rivets, I do like the pro touring setup but would probably choose a different wheel and tire set.

Agree on the rubber band tires. Also not a fan of the extended headlight bezels. Still scratching my head over that one.

I am late to this thread and I agree with some of the comments.
However it ain't a camero, or import so I am good with it.
It's easy to say I would have done this or that after something is finished.

Saying a lot of work went into that car would be a mild understatement. It does look fantastic and that frame in incredible! But the cost to do a build like that must also be incredible!!!
