Hers one I did a few years back, I starter with what I call the monogram chassis introduced in 1984. I swapped the two independent axles for a set up that matched the Geordie Bonin car at the time. This was similar to the set used on the Alcohol funny car I crewed on. It was solidly mounted no suspension on the front
Very nice, I sometimes think we over think the process, and complicate our builds. We end up with several started but unfinished projects setting in boxes. The simplicity of the early AMT kits isn’t appreciated. You’ve captured the time period very well, great build.
Here’s the Blue Max I built a few years back. Photo shows the front wheels too far forward. I didn’t realize the issue until it was almost finished. I think the best fix is to shorten the frame between the engine and front axle. Neither steering Drag link fit I had to rework it to fit. Too long. Hope this helps
Got mine today. Very slight twist to body, center of roof at the windshield looks a little peaked. Nothing that can’t be dealt with. Decals look good. Instructions look great.
I may have shared this before, one of my display cases, and my model closet. Closet is full, floor to ceiling with unbuilt kits , over 1000 at last count. .......Don’t tell my wife how many I have?
