Pat Minarick Posted February 27, 2018 Posted February 27, 2018 (edited) This is my entry for the 2018 Cannonball. Was going to be a Pacer but I destroyed the body , still using parts from the Pacer kit. Edited March 24, 2018 by Pat Minarick
espo Posted February 27, 2018 Posted February 27, 2018 Very cool looking build. I have used NASCAR Chassis under some builds and it works out perfect. For very little money you get a great Chassis and Engine plus Suspension.
426 pack Posted February 27, 2018 Posted February 27, 2018 Very cool. How much did you have to shorten the frame?

Modelbuilder Mark Posted March 3, 2018 Posted March 3, 2018 interesting, would not have thought of that. Lots of space for the fuel.
Belugawrx Posted March 3, 2018 Posted March 3, 2018 Nice cutting Pat ...looks like the Pacer should have been in NASCAR... Hope to see you at the starting line this year Cheers

Hope to see you at the starting line this year Cheers I'm sure I'll make it this year ,just wasn't in the mood to build last year. I made every year since I built the Duster.

Sportabout Posted March 17, 2018 Posted March 17, 2018 Really nice project. It is a Randall Pacer in steroids.
Psychographic Posted March 18, 2018 Posted March 18, 2018 (edited) The chassis from the cup car looks like it was made for the Pacer. Another crazy build, you are a madman! I just drug out my Pacer Pickup I started last year and yup, it's got the same suspension you are using. Edited March 18, 2018 by Psychographic
Pat Minarick Posted March 24, 2018 Author Posted March 24, 2018 My Pacer body got stepped on , but the chassis l built for it actually fits an AMX. I'm going to use all three kits to build my Cannonball car for this year!
Pat Minarick Posted March 25, 2018 Author Posted March 25, 2018 Got the AMX setting on its own weight and right where I want it.
Psychographic Posted March 25, 2018 Posted March 25, 2018 It's too bad you lost the Pacer. The AMX is a cooler looking body, but not as much as an oddball.
Pat Minarick Posted March 25, 2018 Author Posted March 25, 2018 Thanks , I'm still using the 6 and some other parts. I couldn't believe the chassis fit the AMX , only a small amount of trimming the wheel tub at the top.

Pat Minarick Posted March 26, 2018 Author Posted March 26, 2018 Sliced off the molded in exhaust manifold. Found a header and 4Bbl intake in the part box, pretty sure they are for a slant six ,but they will work.
Pat Minarick Posted April 14, 2018 Author Posted April 14, 2018 Got paint on the AMX, time to make it look like the Duster, but all green.
