1970 Roadrunner bench seat interior conversion

[gtx6970]

Ok, I have a Johan 1970 Road runner I want to finally get started on to build of my former car .

It was black with black  bench seat interior.  440 six pack , 4 spd

Has anyone ever modified the 1/24th scale Monogram interior to fit a 1/25th scale Johan  body ?

 

If so, I looking for ideas

Nothing specific, just compare the individual parts and cut the Monogram parts down to fit as needed.  I bought one of the updated Revell Roadrunners awhile back to get the "cop car" wheels and some other parts, never thought to check the interior bits against a Jo-Han kit though.  The conversion might involve less alteration than expected.

Mark.

If you want to cut the decal sheet and interior pieces loose. Pm me please. 

 

Im thinking about trying  this on my build.

I may just use the seats and leave the Johan interior tub alone on it.

Ive also considered just use a spare johan back seat and make my own front bench..even though the seat pattern isn't exactly correct

Not to be pedantic, but as Mark mentioned, the 1/24 Revell '70 Plymouth Road Runner kit is probably where you want to start. When the 1/24 Monogram '70 GTX kit was updated modified and became the Road Runner, an all-new interior was created, with separate door panels and the bench seat you are already aware of, so it was a nice upgrade over the tub-style interior found in the GTX kit. My gut tells me the 1/24 Revell Road Runner parts will be too tall and long, but maybe you can hide that by trimming and the edges?

Not sure if the upholstery pattern will match what you need, either, so here's a close-up look at the parts from a stalled project:

Thanks Casey,

I knew the interior was all new versus the GTX version.

Ive had this project in the back of my mind for well over 10 years and I think its time to get started on it while Im still young.

I dont have one of these Monogram kits on hand to compare height , width etc. so I cant answer that one.

But,  If I can just come up with the seats and decals I would probably  just  modify the seats to fit the Johan interior tub. and call it good enough.
