Aurora Barracuda back to life.

A while back Harry had sent me some built up old Aurora model kits. I have been slowly building them into slots, and yesterday saw this old warrior on the track. A vintage Trans Am racer. I used a cutdown petty Plymouth chassis, e200 motor, brass pinion, TRU tires, and left the rest pretty much stock, as it ran well during testing. I even used the driver tray and complete cage from the 60 Plymouth, it fit great with very little modification.
