Scottnkat Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 This started off as the Revell Snap-Tite 1977 Monte Carlo. I sanded off the body trim and vinyl roof, then stretched out the wheelbase of a parts box NASCAR chassis and made that fit into this body. I had to make the headlight and taillight covers, the rear window straps, the rear spoiler, and the hood and trunk pins. I drilled out the holes in the wheels. The decals are a combination of homemade decals and parts box decals. This is not modeled after any specific race, but is meant to simply be an interpretation of one of his cars. Comments good or bad are welcome.

slusher Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 Scott real nice work on this build. Never would have thought it started with a snap. Very creative building...
