Janet Guthrie's #68 Chevy Laguna Stockcar

[Reeves Racing]

This is Model King's re-release of the 75 or so Laguna Stock car.

It is box stock with Monogram NASCAR kit wheels and tires, some plug wires and some plumbing.

The decals are Yesterday's

Why doesn't the chassis go all the way to the rear end of the car? Is that the way the kit is made?

Yep. The chassis in this kit is the "NASCAR" one size fits all that MPC made in the 70's.

If you notice it has a Ford frontend and the chassis come in two parts and you glue it together just in front of the rear wheel openings at different points depending on the required wheel base of the body they supplied with the kit. The older original kits came with two sometimes three different roll cages to use depending on the cars roof line.

As with most one size fits all ... it is usually one size fits most and works best on a few.

Those adjustable chassis are very popular amoung us short track builders. Too bad it cost $25 for the kits to rob the chassis from.

Been waiting to see one of these done, and it looks great! Paint is top notch!
