    Hurst Hemi Under Glass is the name given to a series of exhibition drag racing cars campaigned by Hurst Performance between 1965 and 1975.Each wheelstander was based on the current Plymouth Barracuda for the corresponding model year. The car was so named because the fuel injected Chrysler Hemi engine was placed under the Barracuda's exceptionally large rear window. The result of the rearward weight transfer was a "wheelie" down the length of the drag strip.The Hemi Under Glass was developed by Hurst Corporation to showcase their products in the A/FX class - precursor to funny cars. In 1965, George Hurst hired Wild Bill Shrewsberry of Mansfield, OH, an accomplished drag racer who had raced for both Mickey Thompson and Jack Crissman. After helping to pioneer it into the first wheelstanding exhibition car, Shrewsberry left at the end of the season to pursue his own project.For the 1966 season, Bob Riggle, who was also from Mansfield, OH and was involved with Hurst as a mechanic and fabricator became the second driver of the Hurst Hemi Under Glass car and campaigned the cars with Hurst as the sponsor until later years when the Hurst Company was sold to Sunbeam. At that point, the car ran without the Hurst logo and was simply known as the "Hemi Under Glass." Riggle's career ended in 1975 with a devastating accident at US 30 Dragway in Gary, Indiana.Popular model kits of the car were produced in 1/32 scale by Aurora Plastics Corporation and in 1/25 scale by Model Products Corporation. A limited edition 1/18 scale diecast model of the 1966 car is currently available from Highway 61.[1]Riggle returned to exhibition racing in 1992 with a 1966 injected version of the car and a 1968 supercharged version of the car.[2] The original 1965 car was stripped for its power train and parts in 1967 for the new Barracuda chassis/body style and no longer exists.[3][4]While taping the June 26, 2016 episode of Jay Leno's Garage, Riggle, with Leno riding in the passenger seat, rolled a newly constructed '69 version of the Hemi Under Glass after turning sharply at the end of a wheelie run. Neither of the men were hurt, but the car sustained significant damage.[5] Leno was riding along to fulfill another item on his 'Bucket List.'July, 2016, Mike Mantel of New Braunfels, TX was named as the new driver of the Hemi Under Glass. Mantel took over the '68 car which has the longest performing history of any Hemi Under Glass ever constructed and becomes the third official driver in the brand's 50+ year history.[6] Mantel was only 6 years old when the Hemi Under Glass first took to the track. He has a wide range of driving experience from drag cars, road race, and movie cars. Mantel's original hometown is the city of Hawthorne, CA.

And there is sooo much room in this kit for added detail, mods or changes. Plus, build it basic, display it, then come back later for more detail. Nice set up, Chris.

    Great build as usual.
    The '64-66 is my favorite out of all of the Barracuda body styles.
    Dunno if it'll ever happen (as it'd probably require retooling) but I'd love to see Round2 rerelease "The Boss" AMT '66 Barracuda 2 in 1 that pre-dates this kit. As it could be built as a drag car but also as a stock Barracuda. That kit seems to be pretty rare now... and the AMT dealer promos of the stock Barracuda cost an arm and a leg.

    Nice job there on a great old kit...I didn't have the original, I built the AMT version from 1973 and painted it plum purple...I thought it was such a cool model.
    I love your approach to car modeling...just get the big can of Rustolium and go for it! (1 can = 2-3 models unlike the small Testors spray can) , no fancy airbrush, it's how I painted kits as a kid.

    Too Cool. I saw it in real life back in he day, quite spectacular and still is. Watch the video of Jay Leno when he went for a ride in the HEMI Under Glass as a passenger and something went wrong and they rolled it on the track. Bet Leno never expected an "E" Ticket ride like that and I think that was the first time it ever crashed. Another beautiful build Chris and you did it out of the box which is the proper way for this super ride. I picked several quarts and a couple of pints of Rustoleum and some additives and hardener for spraying in my airbrush. Hope it works good!

    I have never seen a rear engined funny car,then I remembered the details you like to give in the description. Makes sense,a wheel stander,rear engine! Cool man!
    I grew up down the road from a guy with one of those magic garages. Old one door two car garage,when you went in over on the other side was a 'Cuda, one of the Hurst rent-a-dragsters! Was black and white,where yours is gold. Was called the "Super Skonk" had a cool looking skunk mascot on the doors like under the mirrors. It had a 426!!! Hemi! Was the most amazing car I'd ever seen. We (neighborhood kids) would help him push it out,and he'd wash it and then fire it up for us! Just AWESOME!! Helped him pack the chute one time,so he could show us how it worked. It was spring loaded and when he pulled the handle it shot out like 5 feet! As a kid,that was one of the coolest things.
    All this stuff was original from the dealer.

    Wow Chris ! I love this one ! I haven't built but one dragster in my collection but want definitely want to build more after seeing this video. I built a Sox and Martin 67 Plymouth GTX. You can basically use the same methods you used in painting your Hemi Underglass. My 67 Plymouth Sox and Martin did have decals for the hood, top, and trunk areas plus Sox and Martin decals for each of the doors and sponsorship decals as well. Sadly I lost my Sox and Martin model in a house fire and I'm having a difficult time finding another one. But definitely want to build this Hemi Underglass Barracuda ! Great build, love it, keep up the good work !

    Another great video,it makes me want to rush out and by a kit. I made heaps of AMT kits in the sixties always with good results even with my limited ability. The Rustoleum paint you use is available in Oz but is very expensive so I will keep on using an airbrush as I have stacks of paint at home. The gizmo with the clips you use to hold small parts looked familiar to me then I realized I had one in my cupboard with a magnifying glass on it, so it's bye bye magnifier and get ready to be covered in paint. Once again an inspiring video.

    I enjoy watching your videos and your enthusiasm! I bought a JoHan Cadillac Eldorado snap kit from Spotlight hobbies. It said " No painting or gluing required, just snap this beautiful car together!" However, I decided to detail it the best I could. It actually came out very well. You can check it out on Scale Auto Magazine's website! Happy Thanksgiving! Take care and God bless!

    Nice job! The kit is actually the old AMT Street Freak Cuda with Hurst decals and (now) rims. But, the kit bears little resemblence to the real HUG aside from the 66 body. Hopefully R2 will reissue the MPC 1969 HUG which was pretty nice.

    I was about to pull the trigger on this at the hobby shop the other day, but I just knew a review would be coming lol. I walked out with a Moebius 72 Ford instead, but I'll have to go back and grab one of these now. The plastic tires are kinda bleh, especially being used to Round 2's awesome pad prints, but who wouldn't want a H.U.G?

    • @hpiguy
      @hpiguy  4 роки тому

      The tires turn out nice with a flat black. And the wheels push right in. You'll be surprised how nice they end up looking.
