I do talk to Mark Wormman and the guys of Graveyard Carz from time to time on Facebook. I did get them on the movie Phantasam. They didnt know there was a few different year Barracuda/Cuda used in the movie. The first movie didnt have a 71 it had a 70 and the hood call out on it was wrong. The movie was written around the Cuda the writer/director loves Cudas.

I thought the first movie used a Barracuda since it didn't have the gills in the fenders or it was a 70 model. I love the movies and I hear there is a new one in the works.71440 gtx wrote:I do talk to Mark Wormman and the guys of Graveyard Carz from time to time on Facebook.

I may write a new story that is based off of two lane black top the movie but use either a B body MOPAR or an E body.
I have also thought about writing Vanishing point for a book series since the remake movie left it open to have second movie. I do have one and I may have two novels out by the end of the summer or first of the year.
I got my Legendary interior book in today going to make a parts list as I go. I hope to have this Road Runner soon man I want it bad.

As previously noted the repop quality is a little off if your going for a 100% OE correct type of resto from alot of the suppliers you previously mentioned...BUT if you are looking to get close and actually enjoy the vehicle they are really not bad sources to use.
Another good vendor is Megaparts

Thanks and yeah I'm not looking to go OE on it I just want to enjoy it. I will take it to shows and cruise inns and what not but I'm not worried about it being judged.EL5beepbeep wrote:As previously noted the repop quality is a little off if your going for a 100% OE correct type of resto from alot of the suppliers you previously mentioned...BUT if you are looking to get close and actually enjoy the vehicle they are really not bad sources to use.
