I just finished ordering my '65 Barracuda in white and started thinking about Harv's post which mentioned that they might be bringing out a '65 Barracuda of the "Hemi Under Glass". I can remember as a teen watching the NHRA Nationals and seeing the early Barracudas, Chargers and Mustangs battle it out. This was before the Camaros arrived.One car I remember was the "65 Barracuda "Pandamonia". I searched Ebay and found that decals for this car are available in 1/43 scale. I also have the correct wheels and tires on hand. I have also sourced a 1/43 scale 3D printed blower. I believe that it would be a fairly simple job to convert my white Barracuda into an NHRA drag car. Whats your thoughts?

Ken; you may be well aware of this but the pic you posted is of a '66 Cuda.  Are you saying that this particular car raced in both '65 and '66?  If so then your suggestion of doing up the white '65 is a good one!

Good catch Jack. I posted the wrong picture. Here is the correct one.

Sounds like a great project idea then Ken.  The hood might be a challenge though...if you need to do that.  Good luck....I look forward to seeing it!
