buggin' out Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 (edited) So, there are these guys on youtube called roadkill, they do crazy things with old wrecks of cars, they did a car called the nascarlo, they took some old late model paved oval track race car and put a '70 chevy monte carlo body on it, they had to move the roof back for it to fit, and it looked prety cool and weird: i know the monte carlo body that im going to get, but i dont know if there is a set smilar to the original car they used, something that i could use the chassis from, if not, it will be a bit difficult trying to make the chassis when i have hardly no experience. does anyone know of a set like this, with the chassis, looks like the body is a chevrolet, or an immitation chevrolet atleast. here is a link to the video for anyone who wants to watch it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YUefSKCjP8w i forgot to mention, the picture above isnt the final piece, its what they started with, this is the final car: Edited March 6, 2016 by buggin' out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBuick Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 The Nascar body is a Monte Carlo...I would think any Nascar kit should work though, considering you're going to have to heavily modify the cage if you want to match the 1:1 closely. http://www.ebay.com/itm/MONOGRAM-1-24-scale-No-2447-DALE-EARNHARDT-3-GOODWRENCH-Monte-Carlo-Sealed-/141915086763?hash=item210acc5fab:g:O~IAAOxydlFSqgxl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 Around here, you can't go to a flea market, automotive swap meet, or toy show and swing a cat without hitting one or more NASCAR kits priced in the single digits. That said, the 1:1 dirt chassis looks sort of like a NASCAR one except the engine and roll cage are shifted to the rear. Just swapping a stock body onto a NASCAR chassis, you probably wouldn't need to move the roof back like that, but just doing something like the body swap could make an interesting project. There's pro street, pro-touring...why not NASCAR street? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longbox55 Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 If you can find one, this kit has the body and a fairly close chassis in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buggin' out Posted March 5, 2016 Author Share Posted March 5, 2016 Thanks guys, i think i want to move the roof and front end back anyway to get it to look like the nascarlo, so i will probably have to find a nascar kit with a shorter wheel-base that the monte carlo.
