Railfreak78 Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 I'd like to join in with 2 cars. Christine and also the City Chevy stocker from Days of Thunder. I did start the race car in the Nascar section HOWEVER: I did not get the right paint so it will be stripped and the chassis has not been started or engine, Nothing. My old pics are the body sitting on a different scale frame in the other section so I will be starting over. Hope it's ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaronw Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 (edited) I've been out to the garage and found the Monogram XKE kits so I can get started. I'm glad I bought them a few years ago because the only ones I see on ebay are asking $45 and $60, I think I paid $15 or $20 for the two kits together. Technically I should be starting with a convertable, but once I've made the changes it won't matter. Funny thing with the kits one says 1/25 and the other 1/24 but they are the same kit, just different issues, one is a white box with white plastic, one a black box "exotic car series" with silver plastic. I usually start with a sprue shot, but quite a few of the parts are off the sprues so it would just be a jumble of parts. So far I've only found 1 missing piece from the suspension and it looks simple enough to make. OMG. Too kewl! It's one of my favorite movies, I've always wanted a 1-1 but I'll have to settle for 1/25. Edited December 18, 2010 by Aaronw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The actual hearse was based off a coupe. The landau bars are from a Ford Thunderbird and the taillights are from an early Porsche 911.

Brokentail58 Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 I need a little help . I need some good pics of a late 70's early 80's chevy 4x4 drive train. The kit I am using is only two wheel drive and I need to convert. I have several transfer cases and a lot of motors to choose from but I would like to get a combo that looks right. I am building the truck from "CHiPs" that is driven by Jon Baker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan White Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 According to IMCDB, it was a '77 GMC K-15 which would have had a GM 10-bolt front axle and NP205 transfer case. GM 10-bolt: (it had a passenger-side differential) NP205: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
