Dave Van Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 Love it!!!! As a owner of a 74 coupe I have heard that slogan just a few times!!!! Mine is not the 'Boxy' Matador but the NASCAR coupe..... I'll stay OT now!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jantrix Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 I've done the NASCAR chassis swap before. It works terrificly but it does make the exhaust system problematic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

larman Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 This is a really great project! Love the stance and your wheel choice! Everything is coming along very nicely! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmericanMuscleFan Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 I love the stance and the wheels are perfect for this project! I noticed your simulation of the OEM (The Machine) stripes on the trunk spoiler, are you planning to use them and paint the body white like the original car?

Koellefornia Kid Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 I really like what you are doing here, Tim! Built a few AMCs myself (a Pacer and a Gremlin) and I still got a sealed AMX kit. The Nascar chassis is a nice trick, I need to get me some of these kits for some resin projects... ?
