larman Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 I am looking for the instructions for the Monogram High Roller '70 Chevelle, '69 Camaro and Chevy Luv. I checked the Drastic Plastics instructions site, but did not see them there. Also did a google search and still could not find them. Any help appreciated.

Hi Larry, I have instructions for the Camaro (2201). Unfortunately I haven't got time to scan them in right now but remind me again later today if you haven't been able to find them anywhere else.

Spottedlaurel Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 Camaro, as I built in about 1985: I don't know about the LUV, but I'd imagine the Chevelle would be similar - basically a pretty much standard kit on this high-lift 4wd running gear. I had no great issue swapping mine onto a '57 Chevy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had no great issue swapping mine onto a '57 Chevy. Those two are both very similar to the Camaro's suspension setup-- super-tall front coil springs, Goodyear Tracker A-T tires (same as found in the more recent Snap Humvee), etc. Thanks for posting the intructions, you helped solve a transfer case mystery. 🙂 Chevelle High Roller suspension parts, for comparison: Edited March 4, 2021 by Casey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately I haven't got time to scan them in right now but remind me again later today if you haven't been able to find them anywhere else. Thanks so much guys! Big help. I have a started later issue Chevelle (the "Heavy Chevy" version molded in blue) that needs to be stripped and is far from perfect. I was going to build it into a stock car, but now I am thinking High Roller clone. I also have an unbuilt Monogram '69 Camaro which is so distorted it seems a natural for the 'High Roller" treatment, I won't do anything else with it. I thought I would combine them with the current issue GMC "Big Game Country" parts to make my own versions of "High Rollers" because the originals are bringing WAY too much money on Ebay. It looks like the parts for the Luv, Camaro and Chevelle were similar and lighter duty, so I will have to adapt the GMC 3/4 ton parts with some scratch building, but it shouldn't be too hard and I am not worrying about perfection, the original High Rollers were simplified and a little absurd anyway.

I remember seeing it when I was doing google searches for the Monogram High Roller kits. It pops up in image searches. I was considering giving a Monogram '55 Chevy street machine a similar treatment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
