Hi guys,

   So I was going to do a truck but I couldn't get an engine to fit and look good so I scratched that idea. I decided to do 67 Dodge charger. So basically I cut off rear of chassis and I'm putting in a back end chassis so I can put in dragster slicks I do have. Uploaded a pic.

Yes I think it will turn out ok. I'm currently doing the chassis attaching different rear chassis for the slicks. I will do before and after photo on chassis when done. I'm currently on the hunt for some 1/25 scale wheelie bars for it though.

If you have trouble with the chassis, the chassis from the AMT '70 Superbee Pro-street will pop in there dang near perfectly.

I found a couple wheelie bars on eBay so I ordered both and see which one I like best on it and I will have a spare for a future model.

UPDATE: 3/9/19

HI ALL

  So this is my update of my chassis build that I've done so far. Still working on it. 

First pic of the rear attached to front BEFORE contour putty

Second pic is what I filled in with contour putty ( still need thin layer for the crack ) The 3 tanish looking color is for mounting the rear end.

Third pic (top side of chassis showing how I attached "tubular" bars on.

Last pic is rear end ( nothing glued yet ) It was a regular size rear end but I shortened it up.

 So that's where I'm at right now. It's gonna be like a "backyard mechanic street rod dragster" , LOL. I have some wheelie bars coming from eBay. 

 It's not perfect but still working on it and gonna clean it up a little ( trimming, sanding, etc ).
