MPC Pontiac Super Stocker

I bought this at an estate sale. Body was bad. But I was able to piece most of the parts back together. It’s an original as it has that special right front tire. The numerous parts and decals I did need. Khils (Kevin Hilsabeck) gladly sent them to me and I want to thank him. I never build anything like this. And being it was mostly built. Was a bit of a challenge disassembling what was built and rebuilding it. I think it came out rather well. Do you normally glue the body to the frame or leave it to show the chassis detail? Added a before pic of it disassembled.

Amazing save!  Nicely done.

Thank you Bruce. Managed to get some decals on it but the longs ones just weren't going to co-operate with me. LOL

First to answer your question.. I will leave the body just sitting on the chassis so I can lift it off to show the chassis detail if warranted, and yours certainly qualifies!  Very nice!

I did buy the latest release of this kit and thought the multipiece chassis and that exhaust was odd, but now that I see yours built, it really works!

Very nice!  You did a great job on saving this kit.

Thank you Tom and Stephen. You have to be careful getting the body on and off because of that exhaust Tom. So I would display it with the body off or not on all the way.

Cool race car David, great work.  Shame to put it on the track to get all beat up??

A very nice model save and looks good in the colors you chose. I remember watching these race cars back in the day...lots of noise and dust in the air...did I mention noise and dust? Oh boy, oh boy, what fun!
