Body from the Modified Stocker series, chassis from the MK 72 Torino(Southern Stockers by MPC) kit motor, modified some, rear suspension from the parts box! We'll see how this goes!

looking good

i was looking at one of those modified stocker kits just the other day, are they any good ?

i was thinking of buying one but i was a lil sceptic since there was only a drawing on the box, no picture

The chassis are ######, the tires need to go immediately into the garbage, the motors are so-so depending on which kit,the roll cages are lousy, decals are mediocre, at best, the bodies are the best part, but they hog the wheel wells out too much! Otherwise there all right.

Added some paint, Tamiya Mica Red over the red-oxide primer. Thought about extending the black up over the roof and down the trunk, but I kind of like it simple, too! I dunno, what do you think? Can't believe, as big as those wheel wells were, and I'm using much smaller tires, and I still had to open the wheel wells a little more! The body fits lower over this chassis is why! Thanks for looking, appreciate the feedback!

I'm trying to replicate the late sixties, early seventies with this build as a dirt car, since they weren't that track specific back then, probably would have run it's fair share of asphalt laps, too. I fabbed some interior "tin" started a wind screen, got kind of a "dirt" utilitarian front bumper, yadda, yadda. This was originally for a OOB CBP on another forum, but I'm not talented enough to make some of the "Modified Stockers" look good enough, oob! So I utilized a MK/MPC chassis from there new re-issues, since it was a leaf spring car, anyway. Just having fun, hope you like it, should be finished tomorrow.
