Marc @ MPC Motorsports Posted July 22, 2010 Posted July 22, 2010 Is that based on the funny car body, or was the later annual kit used? Guessing the funny car based on the year, but curious because IIRC there's a size difference Based on the F/C kit and there is not a size difference between it and the later annual kit. All the parts interchange or can be made to fit. This is the funny car Gremmie next to a 1975 annual that I modified to accept the 1971-72 bumpers.
Dragline Posted July 22, 2010 Posted July 22, 2010 Marc, the fact that you have TWO Gremlins frightens me a great deal. Bob
John E. Bowers Jr. Posted July 22, 2010 Posted July 22, 2010 Heres the latest from Bandit Resins... 1972 Gremlin. I... Want... One... Of... THESE!
mr moto Posted July 22, 2010 Posted July 22, 2010 Wouldn't one those things make a COOL gasser?!!? I can see it now with that high stance and a blown hemi!!
Bridgebuster Posted July 23, 2010 Posted July 23, 2010 Wouldn't one those things make a COOL gasser?!!? I can see it now with that high stance and a blown hemi!! Great minds think alike. I have images of that thing with a blown Viper V10 stuffed into a tubbed chassis! Sick, huh?
Jim Gibbons Posted July 23, 2010 Posted July 23, 2010 Just great. Another item I have to add to my must have list that I don't have the money for! I had a 1:1 in that funky purplish blue Persimmon color. All in all, that Gremlin was a pretty decent car. Darn it, I want one!
charlie8575 Posted July 23, 2010 Posted July 23, 2010 Uhh....what do we use for the chassis/wheels/tires? Any suggestions for an AMC six? If I can find some of the other pieces, I'd definitely get one. That' stock '66 Nova wagon, however, definitely has my attention. Charlie Larkin
jeffb Posted July 23, 2010 Posted July 23, 2010 i cast a 232/258 for my postal jeep. its set up for nuttin but an alternator on the pulley/belts.

Charlie Larkin I have a partially built 1975 Gremlin that will surrender its chassis and driveline for the 1971-72 body. Built Gremlins do show up on Ebay for decent prices.
george 53 Posted July 23, 2010 Posted July 23, 2010 Does anyone cast an ACCURATE 401 for that lil rascal?? THAT would make for a fun ride!!!!
spkgibson Posted July 23, 2010 Posted July 23, 2010 Glad you did this,Another one on my want list,You guys are going to break me!As far as a chassis,couldn't you shorting a 67 Mustang one,the Front Is really close to on both of the real cars,as were the inner front fenders,I would go that way,If it's correct,Or close to correct!The seats would have ben nice also,But I'll buy a few as soon as possible,Looks Great KDOG!Another long overdue resin kit done,Thanks for making it for us!
Marc @ MPC Motorsports Posted July 23, 2010 Posted July 23, 2010 The AMT 1976 Nova chassis, while it doesn't have the correct front suspension, fits great if you shorten the wheelbase.
KDog Posted July 23, 2010 Author Posted July 23, 2010 Well answer to the chassis deal... I'm working on a tubbed interior bucket to build Pro Stocks with. The stock stuff is so crude that I really don't want to waste rubber on it but if you guys think the seats & chassis are needed I'll cast them. Here the style interior I'm making now. This is 1 I do for a Vega. It uses the frame rails & rear fourlink from the Revell 55/57 Pro Sportsman kits. KDog
mikemodeler Posted July 23, 2010 Posted July 23, 2010 Kenny, I will assume that you will be bringing these to the show next month, both the bodies and the chassis? If so, please let us know how much they will cost as I keep increasing my "stash" money and this will probably cause me to donate plasma twice this month! Nice stuff and can't wait to touch/see it in person.
Chuck Most Posted July 23, 2010 Posted July 23, 2010 I might be inclined to buy a few of these! Now, Kenny... when's the Pacer coming?

KDog Please cast the chassis and the seats,I would rather start with new stuff then a glue bomb from e-bay,plus the prices of those are really up there for junkers!
dimaxion Posted July 24, 2010 Posted July 24, 2010 (edited) Yes , I agree . I am a Factory Stock builder . If I am going to buy a glue bomb , I'll restore it . I won't buy it for parts . Please make the stock parts and I'll be a buyer . I have your '70 GTX body as my first try of your products . I need it to complete a '70 Road Runner . I'll be back . You do nice work . Thanx ..

scaleautobuilder Posted July 25, 2010 Posted July 25, 2010 Yes, If stock parts are there I'll buy also. I have got to have this.... Bruce

Please make the stock parts and I'll be a buyer . Second the motion. I don't mind if I have to buy an easily obtained current/recent-production kit, but having to find another model for well...most of it, especially one that's a bit tough to find and expensive, is something I'd have a real hard time justifying. Charlie Larkin
Billy Kingsley Posted August 4, 2010 Posted August 4, 2010 Do the factory seats and wheels and I'll buy one at next year's NNL East! Chassis doesn't matter much to me as I build mostly curbside.
