shafer Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Since Nascar introduced the COT as being a single template car does that mean that I can buy the generic chevy COT kit that is available and just use the decals for grille, and lights to create a Dodge? Or are the bodys different. It is my understanding that all of the real car bodys are the same. Imput is greatly appreciated, I want to build a Petty COT Thanks - clyde Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbowser Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 The bodies are slightly different in the front ends and side glass areas. Search for Mark J's build of the Miller Lite #2 to see how much work he put into making an accurate Dodge from the AMT COT! I couldn't tell you for sure what the differences are with the Fords, but I'm sure there are some subtle lines. I did a Google search for COT's and the best shots are the cars in primer to discern the differences in the noses. Hope this helps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinfan5 Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Bruce pretty much covered it, the only difference in the COT between the makes is the hood and top half of the nose, the side quarter windows . everything else is the same body wise for the most part.

dehayes Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 Are there any aftermarket conversion kits to make the Ford, Dodge and Toyota cars?

Thanks, There are some resin bodys of other makes, but there not the 2011-2012 style with the new nose, and I think some you would have to make your own spoiler as well There is somebody on ebay selling 2011-12 bodys, but not sure how good the castings are Now for the bad news, I know almost all of the resin COT bodys are 1/24th, and the AMT COT chassis being 1/25th http://public.fotki.com/raceminded/mikesscalespeedshop/ http://public.fotki.com/raceminded/smhresins/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
