Thanks Les. I thought that as well. The AMT 68 El-Camino rear axle and wheel backs look fine to me. I'm going to put the wheel backs into the tires I'm using, then I'll place them inside the body/subframe and measure inside wheel back to wheelback. Narrow the axle tubes to fit. I think I'll pin and glue the tubes to the center section to keep from sagging.

Thanks guys. Agreed with Ace, Daniel has some nice work there.

Thank you espo. Thats what I thought as well. After thinking about it, I'm going to Set the tires and wheels I'm using in place and measure the width and cut the axle to fit. Make sense?

Hey folks I'm a bit confused with a scale calculation. According to google, a stock 72 chevy vega rear axle has a width of 53.6 inches. According to the scale calculator I used, at 1/25th scale that equates to 2.144 inches. My confusion comes from measuring the rear axle of the amt 68 elcamino. The camino axle is 2.079 inches. So, I don't need to narrow the camino axle to fit? How can this be right? What say you guys? Thanks all and please stay safe.

Over on spotlight hobbies, a fellow just posted pics of the kit contents. I'll be getting a few of these.

Incredible workmanship. I have a question though. Is the staggering of the front suspension due to the angle of the photo, or a chassis engineering solution?

Thanks Hakan

Jamie, will your replacement wheels come plated?

Thanks for that info Hakan. After looking at images of the Bandag Bandit, I can say I personally don't care for that truck. Santa brought me the Super Boss this year, I like how it looks much better.

Got my 2 Papa trucks today. I wonder if they'll release the black one?

Just got an email, Tower Hobbies has this kit in.

Well done. This is a model that a 1to1 car should be built from.

DaveM, notice my avatar above Dave Van. Love the Fat Jack 48.

Building a kit of my avatar. Finally!!!!!!!!!

The front and rear suspension will work. You'll need to come up with a chevrolet engine of course.

I just got my 73 chevelle yesterday. Well worth the wait. I am very impressed. The casting is thin as styrene. All you need to provide is the drivetrain, front suspension and tires.

Great work here. Where do you get the oversize tires?

Seeing all these great builds is an awesome way to send out 2014. Thank you all.

I'll also be glad to put 2014 to bed. The handbrake got diverticulitus in January and it took almost all year and 2 different hospitals to take care of her. All is good now.

The zoo was less than favorable because it had only one dog.

Hard to pick a favorite.

The 2 Cudas are very impressive.

Very cool stuff.

Talk about variety. You have a great talent.

Nice work Chuck.
