DREAMSCALE CONCEPTS Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 I purchased a 1975 AMT Gremlin for 12 dollars at Ollies and regretted it when I opened it! Loll I had an old Dobberton J-2000 chassis and sectioned it to fit the Gremlins body wheelbase. This is what I came up with! This build is still in progress. Thanks for viewing! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not knocking other peoples Gremlin builds which I think are ALL nice because people put the time into building it, but from what I’ve seen there’s a sunlight gap over the rear wheels! I saw it right off the bat! I wish AMT at least filled the rear wheel wells in a little better! That was one of the reasons I just used the body and hood from this kit. I’m glad you liked my rendition of this kit, it will be done soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It came with everything except the body and engine! Rocky is the name of the gentleman who runs this model car parts company and he helped me out with this one!

I have a Dobberton J2000 I have parted out and still have most of the chassis. Your build has given me some ideas for using that chassis.

The giant wheel tubs in the back would be good for hatchback model car kit! I build to be different! Hmmm Big block twin turbo Chevette🤔 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
