Mad Slammer Posted October 29, 2023 Posted October 29, 2023 Hi, this is my take on a 62 vette gasser. Using parts from Amt 57 gasser and 62 annual kit. 4
TarheelRick Posted October 29, 2023 Posted October 29, 2023 Looks like it is going to be a killer Gasser. What engine do yo have planned for it? Did you have to shorten the floor pan to make it fit under the '62 body? 1
Snake45 Posted October 29, 2023 Posted October 29, 2023 I like where you're going with this. The '57 gasser body is horrible, for all purposes unbuildable. The '62 body is much better except for the headlight area. I've considered trying to bash the front end of the MPC '60 with the rest of the AMT '62, but lack the ambition to actually DO it. Good luck with your project, and drive on! 1
Zippi Posted October 29, 2023 Posted October 29, 2023 I'm liking this build. Great looking Gasser so far. 1

So far, I used spare floor panels to cover up to where the firewall starts and put some styrene spacers to raise the firewall a bit. I also removed the part after the rear crossmember to fit the 62 body. Wheelbase is a bit off on the rear so I opened the wheel weld a bit also. Thanks
Mad Slammer Posted October 30, 2023 Author Posted October 30, 2023 Not sure on the engine yet, maybe a BBC or a blown 409…
slusher Posted November 2, 2023 Posted November 2, 2023 Looking really nice! Looking forward to more..
Mad Slammer Posted November 18, 2023 Author Posted November 18, 2023 Slow but steady… roll bar fits, suspension is almost done… will try to get the body painted this weekend also made the headers from scratch today 1
TarheelRick Posted November 18, 2023 Posted November 18, 2023 (edited) Really like the way this is coming together. Here are a couple of pictures for encouragement. I realize it is not a '62, but it is still a C1 Vette Edited November 18, 2023 by TarheelRick 3
