yellowsportwagon Posted March 18, 2020 Posted March 18, 2020 This will be a hodgepodge of old and new parts. Starting with a broken MPC NASCAR Monte Carlo rebuilder Body. It will ride on a AMT Allison Monte Carlo Chassis. That will have a AMT NASCAR TBIrd frt clip grafted on and truck arm rear suspension put on it. Beauty of it is all of this is coming from my spares box except the bodies which I got very cheap. I used the Modified stocker body to repair the Nascar body.
DoctorLarry Posted March 19, 2020 Posted March 19, 2020 Most accurate way to do cars of this vintage. Stock frame, mostly stock floor pans, "Galaxie" front clip and Chevy truck arm rear. Frankenstein's NASCAR monster chassis!
MarkJ Posted March 19, 2020 Posted March 19, 2020 Is this the one that is white and has the number 3 and that glotchback drove?

yellowsportwagon Posted March 20, 2020 Author Posted March 20, 2020 On wheels and mostly stripped. Flared the qtrs a bit. Need to do the frt wheelwells yet.

I just made the bottom of it flat like it should be in Juniors Monte Carlos. Look how the filler was on this car
yellowsportwagon Posted March 25, 2020 Author Posted March 25, 2020 Got the dash board made and chassis pretty much complete.
gks1964 Posted March 25, 2020 Posted March 25, 2020 That's looking great! What roll cage are you using as a base to start with? Gerald

Gerald It’s the cage out of the AMT TBird that the frt clip and rear suspension came from. It has to be narrowed to fit. I also shortened the height and rebuilt the main hoop and added some stuff.
