yellowsportwagon Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 This will be a hodgepodge of old and new parts. Starting with a broken MPC NASCAR Monte Carlo rebuilder Body. It will ride on a AMT Allison Monte Carlo Chassis. That will have a AMT NASCAR TBIrd frt clip grafted on and truck arm rear suspension put on it. Beauty of it is all of this is coming from my spares box except the bodies which I got very cheap. I used the Modified stocker body to repair the Nascar body.

DoctorLarry Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Most accurate way to do cars of this vintage. Stock frame, mostly stock floor pans, "Galaxie" front clip and Chevy truck arm rear. Frankenstein's NASCAR monster chassis! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerald 11 hours ago, gks1964 said: What size are you making your fuel filler openings? Gerald It spends on the car. On this car the opening was already there. I just made the bottom of it flat like it should be in Juniors Monte Carlos. Look how the filler was on this car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerald It’s the cage out of the AMT TBird that the frt clip and rear suspension came from. It has to be narrowed to fit. I also shortened the height and rebuilt the main hoop and added some stuff.
