MPC '36 "Wild One" coupe on an AMT Tobias Gremlin chassis.

That is quite good. I'm becoming more and more disillusioned with the MPC chassis.

The Tobias chassis is light years more accurate and even looks good with newer bodies on them.

I have an MPC coupe going I'm calling "the future mod", incorporating many changes I've made on other builds. But that isn't cutting it lately.

I'm back on FB and saw a couple of builds using the truck arm rear and an AMT stock car front stub. Game changer!

Nice one. Now I like the MPC modified chassis, it is 1955 Chevy rails and a tubular upper structure and I think it is more appropriate for the '33 Ford or '36 Plymouth bodies than the Pinto or Vega bodies. But this is even better

Some of the real pavement NASCAR modifieds by 1970 had rack and pinion steering in them. 

On my local level the '53 to '54 Chevy frame rails were popular, so were IH Scout frames, flipped upside down.
