Yes Yes

That’s ok but missing the fabbed K member that Nichels engineering added when they built these cars.

None of the kits ever had the correct frt bars and dabbed K members that the race cars had.

Got some more done today the only fit issue I’ve seen with this thing is the rear bumper. Trim a little on the back of the qtr taillight opening fixed it right up. Bare metal is done windows in window braces in. Seat bolsters on. Final test fit.

Both cars were B body Mopars same chassis

Here is couple more. The dash and rollcage are from a Polar Lights Talledega kit. Fits great to the Charger body.

No! MPC did do some with a generic racing chassis but that’s as close as it gets. I make my own out of Revell Charger Daytona kits. Not too difficult if you like to scratchbuilt. Here is some in progress pictures I’ll see if I can find some further along pictures.

Century custom had that roof Century Special had the fastback roof

Ding ding we have a winner. All the numbers came from 2 model king sets.

Another oicpic more stuff done

This has been on the back burner for a while. It irritated me. It’s one of my price together messes. It’s an old MPC nascar body on a old AMT Allison Chevelle Chassis with a 90s TBird frt clip and truck arm rear suspension. It’s kind of a parts box build. I do a couple a year. Any way it’s stance wasn’t right and didn’t want to cooperate. So I put it next to the other bad actors and got on with about 8 something else’s. It’s coming back now cause I’m sick of it sitting around taking up space on my bench. I pick at it in between Friday’s Chevelle and a 61 Pontiac that also annoyed me.

It got back burnered for a while it irritated me. I take some more tonight.

I’m normally highly critical of kits. I build mostly vintage NASCAR. This kit is excellent. Proportions are good fit so far is great. It’s not too hard to lower and stuff big tires under. A big positive for me. Granted I won’t use half the parts but what I am using is nice as hell.

Finished the decals early this morning. Cleared at lunch at work.

Got the frame rails capped. I hate hollow frt rails! Made the engine cage. Painted the interior and floors today. A few decalsare on too.

The decals are Powerslide. Paint is Ford Performance red. It’s a very orangey red . I was thinking Zhongshan Shan is the eight year old running the mold machine that made the kit.

This will be the car. Got the rollcage made last night. Wife’s is out of town so I have lots of time!!

I don’t think it matters. Monogram has there’s going like Larry’s. Amt goes the other way.

Mark it will say See Rock City on the side!

Ok I shall be the first to hack one of these up into a stock car. This kit is awesome. So far I’ve opened the wells a little added a fuel fill opening and fuel overflow. Dechromed the sides and filled mirror mounts. Lowered it and made screwjacks.

The flat nose Cutlass was a supreme. They had the Monte roofline.

Notice that Dales car has the formal Monte Carlo roofline. While the 51 car has the standard roofline.

You need a panhard bar or watts link to locate that axle side to side! Otherwise the driver is gonna fill his pants!?

I don’t know but none of the Colonade cars ever ran the opera windows.
