cheyenne93 Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 This is my next build. My idea so far. Gotta dig through the parts bin, try to find a control arm style front end. Reworkin the kit engine. May put a newer Vette engine in it. Might have to do a mini tub. We will see where it goes. As always feel free to comment and input always welcome 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espo Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 Nice looking body style. You mentioned an A arm front suspension. You could use suspension parts from either the '56 or '57 Revell Chevrolet kits or look at some of the Chevell kits as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are 1/24 scale but the chassis seem to be good donors for 1/25 scale. Edited November 11, 2022 by NOBLNG 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldcarfan27 Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 IDK, the wheels look a little out of scale to me. As far as the suspension, how about doing like the 1:1 builders used to do and use a Camaro subframe under it? There's also the chassis parts from the Phantom Vickie. The wheels might look pretty cool on there too. Or the chassis from the Lindberg/AMT 37 Ford custom or 38 delivery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It almost looks like the larger rims are on the front??🤔 It still looks a hundred times better than the box art! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheyenne93 Posted November 11, 2022 Author Share Posted November 11, 2022 Yah, those wheels and tires are from the Foose ford p u. Actually have a set of Pegusus big and little Ts I'm going to put on it. Still have to open up the wheel openings a bit. Thanks for the input. Think I'm going to do two tone, teal and charcoal gray paint job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This '37 Chevy kit is a personal favorite. I've built two. It's a very nice kit and one of my favorite pre-war cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheyenne93 Posted November 21, 2022 Author Share Posted November 21, 2022 So here it is with a 66 chevelle front end and the pegasus wheels and tires. Opened up the rear wheel wells. Think I'm gonna do a corvette rearend. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
