Has anyone used the Chezoom chassis as a direct swap to another build?  Or does anyone know of a close or direct swap for it?  I just found my Chezoom with a ton of my old models that I built when I still lived with my parents.  The car is a little worse for wear but, the chassis is in great condition and I think I would like to reuse it.

I'm using one on a 454ss pickup. Needed to be shortened a little, but works great.

That's along the lines I am thinking.  I will be bringing the entire junkyard of cars home soon and there is a stepside Silverado of the same bodystyle in the bunch.

Anybody got a photo of the non-snap version of the chassis? I'd like a look to see if it's what I'm needing too.........

The chassis itself is nice. The front and rear suspensions are not.

The front suspension is not accurate. The rear suspension , with a little work...OK, maybe a lotta work, is quite useable.

The front suspension from any AMT Ford NASCAR kit adapts quite easily to this frame, if you cut the NASCAR framr immediately behind the 'A' arm mounts, and cut this frame just in front of where the front frame starts its first downward bend. I have done about 10 of these.
