Great job! I always liked the 2 tone paint styles of that era,,nice ride!
-
Thanks Slusher,,it was fun
-
LOL,,yea ,,thats funny. ya know,,I debated about making a whole new chassis instead of using the stock chassis,,because if this was a 1:1 car,,the 1st time you stomped on the gas w/a 1100 HP prostock mtr in it,,the frame would twist like a sick pretzel. But in the interest of using stock floorpan,,and chassis that goes w/it,,I just did it this way. The only thing I dont like about it is the headers drop a bit too far tword the ground,,I was going to make some out of solder,,but found a set that were well fitting into the engine bay,,so went w/those. All in all its a nice one to have on the shelf,,thanks for the kind words

I think it wood,,lol,,,I wood agree,,lol
-
Way cool,,that grapics decal works great on it
-
And a bit more done on the front nose. Found a lower air dam wing for front,,looks cool on there,,and the pic of the chassis makes me understand why pro chassis builders make so much $$!! I had to open up clearance for rear tires,,and trimmed the whole width, of chassis,,,also found some cool rims for it. Just have to work up some rear wheel tubbing,,and x-tra roll bar/driver frame supports,,and should be good to go,,so,,, Happy building!

Greetings from Motown!,,just finished this "Woody". Its kindof what you might call a "GT" package if it were ever to be offered back in the day,,lol. Lots of scratch built stuff,,no after market parts on this,,just leftovers from the junk bxs. Some of the pcs were missing when I got the kit{ swap meet kit} so had to use the thunderbird tire cover in back,,different rear bumper,turn signals on front fenders,scratch built,,And the mtr is some hemi out of a prostock kit,,have no idea which one. Tinted the windshield + wing windows blue Scratch built visors,,roll bar,,seatbelts. I really like the AMT kit supplied " woodgrain" inner panel decals for the sides,,nice feature. They went on with no problems. Its a bit different than the stock version,,but what a fun version it would be to drive!

Thanks Belugawrx,,,I used band-aids,,the type that are cloth,,not the plastic ones,,and the wraps on the foam padding are electrical tape.
-
Thanks CSchick,,mmits my fav vette body style,,great kit to build,,really no probs with it.
-
Lookin good so far,,fun kit to do thats for sure
-
Whoa! great car there!

Howdy all,,finally got to do some experimenting w/the body work,,not sure if this will be final design,,got to putty +sand corners and such. The wing on the trunk deck will have an extra 2 blades inside it,,matching the profile of the exsisting top blade,,may have to make them adjustable,,gotta be able to tweak the downforce! LOL..Will have to do alot of filling +sanding on the lower side of nose pc,,the kit came with these things called " body fillers" little panel type things,,but no matter how you put them on,,doesnt quite get it. Ill just fill+sand putty And a tilt nose front,,if possible,,and the back 1/2 of body will lift up also,like a FC,,so well see where it goes happy building!

Hi all,,so ,,ok heres starting point, A,,,,Im gonna use a Willie Borsch chassis, and x-tra roll cage add ons to it ect. ,Cut the frame right at the firewall,,and will have to fab,,or use leftover front section of borsch chassis, for frame work in the engine bay area,and a straight front axle,,the shock set up off the borsch car should work{ it looks similar to the red car setup} . Now,,the black lines on the charger body are where Im chopping it off,,and gonna do some "custom" body work,,lol. Similar to the Beach City Vette FC,,but different. Driver in the center of chassis. And cut the front clip out for one pc tilt front end,,if the nose front allows clearance when tilted forward,,itll be close. And a 426 Injected Hemi of course.,,with giant injector stacks,,lol Cheers
