Pierre Rivard Posted October 24, 2021 Posted October 24, 2021 You'll make this one great with this quarter panel improvement...and an alt chassis of course!
DoctorLarry Posted October 25, 2021 Posted October 25, 2021 Gerald, you are noting the body line flaws in this kit. I had to do some radical reworking when I did the Baker Olds:

Mattilacken Posted October 27, 2021 Posted October 27, 2021 Nice build! Is this the salvino jr kit? Body looks Almost as the chevelle, i know they being “siblings” but almost close enough to just smack the front on from the mpc Pepsi Chevelle.. am I right?
steveracer Posted October 27, 2021 Posted October 27, 2021 All the best with the build. I will be a vouyer watching from the sidelines. Looks like a ton of work ahead.

Replacing it with a stretched AMT 90's NASCAR Tbird chassis. Ok, is the chassis for that kit One of those adjustable ones? I was looking of robing one of the salvinos Montecarlo chassis that are not the extendable one to my ‘75 Chevelle. The birds are hard to find here.
wrenchr Posted November 7, 2021 Posted November 7, 2021 Body work is looking very good, to bad that much work is needed. 1
wrenchr Posted December 3, 2021 Posted December 3, 2021 Hi Gerald, I'm working on some old school nascar builds and want to modify the wheelbase on the AMT chassis, do you have any pics of your mod work to extend the chassis? I know it is the front frame. looking for some reference pics if possible.
