Vettegasser Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 (edited) So I got the 70 vette amt reissued. Well in my opinion the only good part in it was the body and wheels. So I did this. It’s on a very rearranged amt nascar chassis Edited November 13, 2023 by Vettegasser 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TarheelRick Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 Going to be an interesting project to follow. I have seen pictures of short track Vettes, so it is not an inconceivable build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace-Garageguy Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 That frame looks really good. What exact kit did it start out as? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vettegasser Posted November 13, 2023 Author Share Posted November 13, 2023 (edited) Well it started as an amt lumina nascar. Basically you can tell what’s left of that. It’s got Ron coon resins rear clip. Whole lotta evergreen tubing. It’s getting there Edited November 13, 2023 by Vettegasser Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pierre Rivard Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 Wonderful stuff Jimmy. It is great to see out of the box, imaginative yet very realistic fictional builds such as your's. You started with a cool idea but you then "engineer" it like a real race car. I love this and will follow with great interest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vettegasser Posted November 17, 2023 Author Share Posted November 17, 2023 Thanks all. I try to make them as realistic as possible. Try to get some more to show this weekend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Volzfan59 Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 (edited) I remember back in the 80's when some of the fiberglass companies were making Corvette bodies for late model dirt cars. A guy from Bruce, MS (Jerry Inman #D-7) ran one for a season or two. Your's is an excellent representation of that era.

Sledsel Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 I will admit the headline caught my eye! This is a very cool build. Just love what you are doing with it! Way better than my slammer Saturday night cars I like to build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
