DrKerry Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 (edited) After a member on the board and I tried making a deal work out with this, it didn't work out as I had most of what was offered.. Sorry!!!! But, after wards Kennyboy had stopped by the house and I showed him the kit and what I thought of doing with it and he said I had to do it.... Not going exactly like the real car but it'll be somewhat close to it...... A little cut here..... Hmmmmmm, What's wrong with this picture?????

mustang1989 Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 Holy schmokes man! First off this would make one cool lookin' Monza. Secondly....you've got your work (pardon the pun) cut out for you. Will be watchin' in on this one. I love all this fabrication and body work going on with these things. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bobthehobbyguy Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 Love it. Wow this is going to take some serious slicing and dicing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
crazyrichard Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 hmm cool build ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DrKerry Posted June 26, 2016 Author Share Posted June 26, 2016 Thanks guys, not going for an exact build of the real car but something that'll be close to what you see here..... Body is going back together, then it'll be figuring out the height of the body and how much to lose there. Then it'll be messaging the front end of it.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
afx Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 Glad you decided to build the kit Kerry. Look forward to seeing what you come up with. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GMCMAN52 Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 I'm too eager to see more, so I'm going to follow this one closely Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DrKerry Posted June 27, 2016 Author Share Posted June 27, 2016 Thanks guys, I have widened the body out by about a 1/4 inch already, working on mocking up the basic part of the chassis to get an idea of body height on the chassis. Will be cutting the cage and lowering it down so the body will drop a bit more.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aurfalien Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 Will you be doing the front end like the pic as well?Pretty killer car! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DrKerry Posted June 27, 2016 Author Share Posted June 27, 2016 It'll be close as best as I can get it.... LOL Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aurfalien Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 It'll be close as best as I can get it.... LOLKiller!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bernard Kron Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 I'm really looking forward to this one. This is exactly the body type I wanted to do for this year's dirt tracker. I'll be watching carefully to see how you do it. Too cool!!!! What kit is it exactly that you're using? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DrKerry Posted June 27, 2016 Author Share Posted June 27, 2016 Hey Bernard, I'm using the Long Shot Monza from MPC Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aurfalien Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 I wonder if there is a dirt racer etc you can pilfer the front section from? Something from the a-pillars forward? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DrKerry Posted June 28, 2016 Author Share Posted June 28, 2016 Fortunately it won't take much to put the arches into it. The nose I can use the stock header panel and massage it into it. The under part can be scratch built or pieced out from other parts.... Or?? I may change it up a bit........ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DrKerry Posted June 29, 2016 Author Share Posted June 29, 2016 Sorry no thing to really show yet. Chassis is going together. Cutting down roll cage to fit the lowered height of where the body will end up at. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
John Verkerk Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 WELL!! YOU GOT MY ATTENSION!!!!. I|LL be watching as well !!,,,Might try to do this to a Vega ?Please keep us updated , I know you will see it thru. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DrKerry Posted July 1, 2016 Author Share Posted July 1, 2016 Thank ya John and will do. Hopefully get more work done over the weekend. Bonded the hood yesterday and pulled the clamps off and snapped it at the seam so I need to redo it. Then I can get some pics of the widened body up before I attack the nose......
