Thanks again for the compliments! The emblems on the body are well engraved, making it a bit easier to foil. HRW Jim, looking forward to seeing your build. Mayberryman, I try to keep my bench organized, but it never stays that way for long.

Sir, I understand the unorganized work bench thing. About every month I spend a few hours attempting to place things in the proper place and make my work area look neat. It takes about two days and three projects to get it back to that "lived in look".

Ditto, Ditto, Ditto on the whole look of the car and double WOW on the foil too!!!

This has to look so awesome going around your track.

I justify my builds being "close" because if mine looked as good as yours it would be a "shelf queen"!!

Thanks Denny! No shelf queens here! But I might not run it as hard as some of my other faithful racers! Mayberryman, my bench is at the point of no return at about 1/4 of the way through a project!

Beautiful job! The foil detailing is fantastic! I've been trying to do more cars with foil detailing to practice, I'm not there yet.

I have a friend I race with that would love to have this car...it's unique, it's his colors(orange and black) and his number(13)!

Spectacular. And that's coming from an old MOPAR man.

Having owned a 66 formula S Barracuda years ago, I have to say you've done a beautiful job. I currently have a 66 dealer promo model that I am waiting for inspiration to complete.
