I certainly respect the creativity, time, and talent involved in creating it though. Earning every penny of that moderator paycheck. DBAP

"Hell-bent" is more like it. I didn't feel like I was talking with a gearhead, more like an artist. I agree, visually the car is off to me. But you have to admit that he went full-kill in bringing the car to life.

The windows have always bugged me - the side glass being much taller than the windshield - and given the amount of effort expended everywhere else, I'm still surprised they did that. Of course, it's easy to be a Monday Quarterback, but given the high bar Walden set everywhere else, that's still a mystery to me.

They didnt turn a barracuda into a 4dr, they used a 4dr 72 coronet and grafted cuda front and rear onto it. Thats why it doesnt look right

That's why the roof looks like an ambulance or hearse conversion. But to my eye, the height of the side windows is the root cause of the disproportion. They did SO much work everywhere else, it's unfortunate that they missed the greenhouse proportions.

It is fundamentally a car that made no sense for C/P to build only to complete with a sister car the upcoming 4 door 1971 Satellite. Dave put on a good show at Carlisle; showing the car on a lift, handing out free tee shirts, and handing out free full size phantom 1970 4door Barracuda brochures.

Look at the 1972 Road Runner and/or Sebring and you will see the lower windshield configuration in the design of that Factory 2 door vehicle. Our 4 door Barracuda appearance is almost identical. With all due respect, its not identical, almost or otherwise. I can more than appreciate the work that went into this, but as so many others have said, the side glass ruins it.
