Monster Truck Swap

[leatherneck]

Howdy gents,

I recently just got back into modeling cars, seems there just isn't much time in the military to do it so I had to put it down for a few years.

Here's my question. I just bought Revell's '65 chevy stepside and the AMT USA-1 monster truck. I am considering doing a full swap making the '65 the monster truck and bagging and c-notching the late model chevrolet body from the monster truck. Anyone done this or seen it done? any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Semper Fi.

it sounds like a great build

i would imagine you want to keep the bodies on thier frames and just swap the suspensions and drivetrain out

shouldnt be to bad to do

Thanks, this isn't my first build but its my first customized one for the most part. I think I have everything I need. I shaved the door handles on the late-model truck. As well as the gas cap. I am about to begin paint on the body now. I appreciate your suggestion though, I will do that, sounds fairly simple. Thanks again.

one thing that will be a great help is starting a work in progress thread in our "on the workbench" section

that way we can follow along and awnser any questions or make suggestions as you go along

remember, a picture is worth a thousand words

I would love to see this in the workbench section also. I don't have any advice on your current plans but I will be glad to jump in for more specific questions.
