'66 Impala Late Model Stock Car

[bobss396]

This has been kicking around since around March.

I started out using the kit rear chassis and a '67 Impala front clip. I was not able to get the rear low enough. So I dove into my NASCAR donor pool and came up with a Monogram chassis. I had to stretch it a 1/4" to fit the wheel base.

I took it to a club meeting last night to get some inspiration going. Wheels, tires, breathers are Ron Coon Resin pieces. I have more parts complete and not shown.

The object to to make a what-if Harry Gant #33 out of it.

The last picture is how far I got with the '66 parts that came with the kit. I hope to use them for something else.

I agree on the tires looking to big on these cars. I built the Buick and used the AMT race tires on it. Painted pink when my SIL said theres no Pink race cars.
