MPC 71 RoadRunner question

[thatz4u]

Need a chassis plate for this kit, will MPC Country Charger work?? thanks

I don’t have the Country Charger kit to compare, but I would almost say that it’s too long.

If the Country Charger chassis looks like these it may work. Original issue and reissue.

If you are looking for more detail, I would try the AMT 1968/69 Roadrunner/GTX frame. I just held the two bodies against each other and the wheel wells matched up. My frame is partially assembled, I tried to fit it into the 71, but the body on the 68 Roadrunner is more squared up front and it hit the sloped area, so a little trimming would be needed. The width looked good.

The newer tool 71 Charger kit platform works well with this kit.  A little bit of trimming will be needed.

Thats what I used and it worked great.

may not be a perfect fit, but it probably wouldn't be hard to make it work.

Took some pics of the chassis from the '69 Charger 500, same as the Country Charger. I don't have a '71 Roadrunner to see if it fits but hopefully the pics will help.
