Daryl
I love the Fat Tire look your car has. Are your rear springs in the stock location or are they in boarded to be in line with the rear subframe?

Matt



I've always loved the look of a nice rear end!!!!!
The springs are inline with the rails

They're both sweet!!! Unfortunately I don't have any video of the Dart when Don owned it, but I will always enjoy watching the video of the car (under John's ownership of it), during John's 100ft + long wheelstand enroute to the 9.14 I wrote about earlier in this thread....

Cuda-Head,

I'll list the 'Fab 5 Cuda's' from Pennsylvania.

1) Jack Werst, SS/BA (The #2 Cuda built) (Sox & Martin got the #1 car)
Yardley, Pa

2) Bill Stiles, SS/BA (Set the first SS/BA record with an 11.06 at Island Dragway, NJ July 68')
York, Pa

3) Ken Montgomery
Roslyn, Pa
*) Ken's first car was a SS/BA car. Had it for 3 weeks when it rolled over, after it was hit by Dean Nicopolis' 1967 Hemi car. on the
return road at, I think Atco, NJ. ( I have to check my records )
*) The second car was/is the 4-speed SS/B car.

4) Tom Myl, SS/BA
Coraopolis, Pa

5) Thomas & Updyke, SS/BA
Tyronne, Pa

Ken Montgomery only had one Barracuda, but had 2 '65 A990 Belvederes. The one that was totaled on the return road (at Indy I believe) was Jack Werst's original car.

Paul-
It would be worth what someone would pay. LOL! That would be a very cool project. It would just take a model decal company to make all of the decals. With this new kit. There are a couple that are starting to pop up.
I have two in the works right now. One is a modern SS/AH but it is a made up one. Basically what mine would look like.
My other one is the Ron Mancini/ Gratiot Dart Yellow and red one.
I have a couple of other ones in mind, too. But I have so many other models I want to build. If you saw the upstairs of my house. I have more unbuilt model kits then any hobby shop. and I keep adding to the pile.
