How much rear tire can you get under a 64-66 Barracuda before you have to deal with the interior?

I have video footage of this car running off the track into the spectator stands and resulting in a little boy losing his life. Richard never returned back to drag racing after that.

Wes, all of us that love the 65 Barracuda have probably seen that footage or heard about it. Petty was on a hiatus from oval track racing and built the Cuda for some match racing which was very popular at the time. Maybe his credintuals as a great GN driver did not prepare him for the wild beast that the Cuda surely was. I dont know all the particualrs(track, driver, car??)...does anybody? Chime in if you do.

Nice car may not be a 65. The rear quarters and bumper are really late rare 65 or more likely 66. Then the front marker light. That is robbed from a 68 although that is something neat about all 68 mopars Would be nice to have the one in the rear quarter to go with it. The tail lights are 64-65 though notice the round shape that would hold a round backup light. Can't see the dash or the front end. Nice sleak car.

Notice there is what appears to be a black 64 or 65 to the right you can only see the bumper & tail lights for identification.

Nice looking silver fish, like the low stance, even the cowl hood scoop looks like it belongs .

it's ok to butt heads, just don't do it with a butthead

How much tire can you get into a '64-'66 Barracuda without tearing out the interior wheelhousings?
If you mini-tub them, do you have to build tubs for the tires that are visible from the interior, or can you section/widen the stock inners?
