The Bad Fish 'Cuda was one of Ricky's last projects.
Typical of Ricky's customs the Bad Fish is chopped &
sectioned within an inch of its life with the frame dragging the ground. The top of the roof is a scale 36" above the ground and the top of the grill is a mere 12" off of the ground.
Ricky kept abreast of the latest custom car trends. Note the carbon fiber used on the air induction manifold and valve covers.
The 3 photos above show the Bad Fish 'Cuda compared to a stock Barracuda. The photos were taken at the Toledo NNL in 2006.
Ricky standing next to the G-Force 'Cuda built by Alan Johnson's Hot Rods. Could this have been the inspiration for the Bad Fish 'Cuda?
Ricky's friend Larry Mulkey built this tribute car using a Jimmy Flinstone body.
In keeping with the aquadic theme Larry named his model Orange Roughy
