old-hermit Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 What if you wanted to drive an 09 Challenger on a NASCAR road course ? Well, you start with two kits ... then you narrow & shorten the NASCAR chassis to fit the Challenger body ... the body will needs some mods too ... remove this ... and this ... then you mock it up to see if everything fits ... so far so good ... more later . .
diymirage Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 looks like a great build now, it will be a hemi right ?
Tumbler75 Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 I was wondering how long it would be before someone did something like this to the Challenger. LoL Can't wait to see more. Lookin' cool!
Joe Handley Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 Nice, it's going to be what the Nationwide Challenger should be, can't wait to see it finished!
old-hermit Posted January 17, 2011 Author Posted January 17, 2011 Next you build a generic NASCAR chassis. I'm not going to do a bunch of detailing on this, just a quickie oob ... the wheel base of the chassis is shorter than the wheel openings on the body the front was an easy fix, just trim a little off the back side but the rear had to be moved forward quite a bit so it needed a filler patch ... now for bondo and sanding ... more later. .
old-hermit Posted January 17, 2011 Author Posted January 17, 2011 Some aerodynamic spoilers ... and a coat of primer ... Still needs a little massaging before paint ... more to come. .
John Teresi Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 Al......looking good man.......I like it.
