AMT ´68 Roadrunner & ´69 GTX

[camaro69]

Hi folks,

have one question about these...

Do they have the same body dimensions?

Thanks for any help.

Yep! The chassis parts are interchangeable....

Roadrunner and GTX are the same basic car, trim and engine performance differences, but the balance is the same.

Yep! What Mr. Gas sez...

The only thing different is the front grill and maybe the tail lights.. And a few other odds and ends....

The Hoods have a different Hood Scoop design that was dependent on the year model of the vehicle along with many of the trim items mentioned already.

Thank you all but I think my question was wrong.

I meant if the model kit bodies had the same dimensions...?

[Snake45]

Yes, they have the same "dimensions," but they are not identical. Each has the trim for its particular year and model.

Thanks Snake for the info.

I asked because I have finished the ´68 GTX rearend after more than three years and wanted to know if it would fit both the kit bodies.

By "finishing the rear end", do you mean reshaping the rear quarter panels?

That's the only thing that will ever save these kits in my opinion.
