Had to do something about this total Swedish color combo that i cant stand.. so i shot the chassis in gray late last night

Thanks mate! I will se how i low i make it ? it droped realy low now when the chassi dropped where i wanted it, almost liked the stance better when it was 1mm higher which led to the wheels could come further out. I got so sick of the yellow chassis so i coated it with some gray the other night.

#2 Managed to get the wheelbase locked in and sorted I think. Also started on the front wheels and alignment. I would like to keep it this low but the body style does not favor it. Might need to do some body mods because I really like the wheels to be all out to the edge of the body. Also managed to seat the chassi well I think. Have also started on the cage work.

Nice! those wheels are nice on it! custom 3D ones?

Thats cool, I saw that and apriciate all the lengths you have to go through to get to a stock spec car ? It was similar as how my 1:1 started out. When i bought it back in 2003: How it turned out.. wish i was not that stupid to sell it.. I had a 1998 Camaro at the same time and i guess i sold it because i thought 3 cars was to much for a single guy. But i do regrett selling this one, it had a re built and quite healty 355 that only needed new heads to lock up around 350horse . And this is what my goal was.

@Cosmo_Song here is my project.

Great work! Also a huge fan of these some how! I have a 3gen going as well, and one original MPC and a nice resin body of the same stock car version in their boxes. I also used to be owner of a 1977 Malibu Classic Landau! nice corrections. It seems in my opinion and some others that the MPC body is more accurate even though it has it flaws.

Nice to se some one else enjoying this body style! I have a project going on since a wile butgot inspired buy your builkd to enter it to the CBR. This is the 1:1 that i used to have when i was 16-19, it was also a 1977. Here is a link to more photos: https://www.garaget.org/?car=113257

I have no right size small blocks to put in it.. but I have a C5R LS 527 that would look cool with stacks. Should work since they have ITB intake.. pic later. An other view of the ride.

So I decided to try to enter this to the CBR, so i would suspect that this will look like a X racer gone to the street whith normal racer "make it work" instead of "make it look nice" metality. Not sure on color or decals or any thing yet.. Not sure what power plant I will be running. LS is to common and i have a hard time seeing a "stock" LS3(what i have in the PB) in there ?. And i do not fancy an other turbo build since i allways go over board! So I might go to a nascar small block, might have better gas mileage than the CBB in the pic above. We will see one problem being that I am not that found of the over sized monogram engines that come in the kit (big block sized small block). I had to go forward and the way i figured i could was to glued the cage work in and start sand the chassi to fit height wise. I took out roghly 2-3mm in the torpedo area to go underneath the original body bracing and sanded away some of th frame. The rear end will need to come forward a little bit to look good se pictures below. I have also started to sand out the boddy thicknes in the wheel areas to make room for the tires. went bar on right rear so i might give it a flare instead And yes I took black and white pictures since the color combination right now is awful! Blue body and yellow chassi! Feel free to comment or pinch in on Ideas! I apriciate everything ? Monogram 1/24 Chevy Small Block Big Block Fitted chassi Kit position on rear end. If you would build a stock car replica you would probably be fine since the original cars ran a 115” chassi and not a 112” as stock. (fronts would come forward more acorind to pictures for stock car) Re positioning:

So i won’t make the Silverado rest this year either. But I got inspired by an other contender to dig out my third gen Chevelle and try to build it for the CBR! So here goes. It’s a 1975 Pepsi laguna with a ‘80s monogram nascar chassi that need surprisingly little mods to fit, in my world at least. Some sanding and the rear end needs to move if you would build a stock car replica you would probably be fine since the original cars ran a 115” chassi and not a 112” as stock. Not sure what power plant I will be running. LS is to common ? so I might go nascar small block, might have better gas mileage than the big block I intended to run to replicate the period correct engine. We will see.. I am not that found of the over sized monogram engines but they do look mighty! and yes I took black and white pictures since the color combination right now is awful! Blue body and yellow chassi! rear axle compensated for the wheelbase Wheelbase as it intends to build.

Beautifull work there! Looks great!

Sweet! I am following!

Nice work! In the wrong forum though. I ask an admin to move it to under glass trucks an suvs ?

C5R engine definitely! I have it in last years truck, or the intake on an LS at least. Go for it!

Kan säkert vara så att den inte är testad med motor och chassit. Men det råkar inte vara så att de. Är gjord för någon annan motor konfiguration, typ mindre turbo eller så? Eller tar den rent av i chassiet typ kylar ramen eller stötdämpar tornen? Du skulle kunna prova med häftmassa och se vars det tar i och se om du kan slipa ur baksidan. Snyggt jobb med alla skruvar och muttrar för övrigt!

Great builds!

Sweet!

Sweet build! Looks sharp and just like the 1:1!

Great build!

Nice

Great progress! How od about that hood that does not seem to fit. Is it made for some other engine configuration?

So i where in my cabin for the Easter and a thought got stuck in my mind. The grand that I started as an off-road project years ago would need an other engine.. a viper engine and what if I could make a viper IRS rear end work.. and of for sure I need a 4x4… pulled it out of storage and started messing about.. but I settled on Skyline GTR rear axle and front differential since they where way better fit so far.. engine fits ok. And yes this one will be one low heep. And think of it more like a viper with Jeep body than the other way around.. maybe I should enter this to the CBR? Great tourer! ? I see this as a plausible concept Jeep would made back in maybe 1995? Wheels are five spook “iroc” from Pegasus which would resemble similar Jeep wheels of the time. Don’t be shy, please comment, ideas are welcome!

Nice to see the kit out! So sad they went that direction with the chassi! I can’t stand that type chassi. I don’t mind the no engine but man! One piece chassi is just so boring to me.
