...I've always liked the '65/'66 barracuda & that mental piece of 'glass-porn' for a back window,never been able to jag one,You all probably know how much the AMT Gene Winfield kit is worth in any state? WELL!..... using my God-like genius I've devised away in which we can ALL get one.....listen carefully....comfy?...got Yourselves some milk & a blanky?.....RIGHT! Get Yourself the readily available '66 Hemi Under Glass kit & You'll have a body/shell,glass,bumpers,grill ALL the bits You'll need for an outwardly stock/street unit. THEN!...... get Yourself the(made to sacrifice)'Fireball 500' Barris kit,which is a '66'cuda as well & it'll have the platform/chassis from the ORIGINAL AMT '65 Barracuda(as I've learn't from numerous photos) the suspension,firewall & engine bay,the tub has been halved on both kits but I'm betting he Barris version will be closer to the original. NOW!..... marry the two together,quietly cut the bonnet out of the shell with a razor so it isn't 'gappy' when goes back on,fudge the back seat & rear deck out of junked spares off other cars You might have? & GAZUNGA!.... a nice VERY RESPECTIBLE 1965-1966 Plymouth Barracuda ....now,make it so

....two Fireball 500's kits just showed up(I've 2 H.U.G kits)& I'm a Genius Boys,Bloody Genius! The chassis lines up perfectly,the alignment pins on the chassis slide straight into the towers in the tail-end of the H.U.G body,like it was made for it....because it WAS made FROM it!Interior(front half only as both are 2 seat converts)radiator bulkhead & firewall from the fireball ALL FIT BEAUTIFULLY! The fireball has the'65 motor from the original Barracuda AMT kit & now,2 lots of components to choose from because of the H.U.G engine as well! A few small mods' here & there depending on Your preferences? WHACK/KAPOW/BAM!! You got Yourself a GREAT little '65/'66 Barracuda! Thank me Very Much!
