LOBBS Posted April 13, 2007 Posted April 13, 2007 Specifically, I'm interested in pics of the front and rear suspensions and underside. TIA
RyanSilva Posted April 13, 2007 Posted April 13, 2007 Little more info.. who makes the kit? The only one ive ever seen is the curbside testors kit.
Mr. Metallic Posted April 14, 2007 Posted April 14, 2007 Little more info.. who makes the kit? The only one ive ever seen is the curbside testors kit. They added basic interior and chassis detail, plus an engine. the parts look good from a distance, but lack fine detailing and texture. It's a good starting point for a full detailed showstopper, or a good parts kit.

I'm doing a suspension conversion on my '69 Vette to C4 gear. The AMT C4 'batwing' is the right width but horribly detailed elsewise. The pumpkin and transaxles are a joke. I was planning on using the Dana 44 out of the Revell Viper, the batwing and trailing arms from the AMT 96 Vette and scratching out everything else. The front suspension of the AMT C4's is basically nonexistant and unusuable so I am looking at Revell C5/C6 pieces. I know that Chezoom had a full C4 suspension front and rear and I could have sworn I've seen the pieces used on some other killer builds. It could have been another of the Testors Boyds rides though. There's gonna be a lot of scratchbuilding and I'm just looking for the best starting place.

The Chezoom isn't the way to go, I have one and the suspension is almost toylike. for an accurate C4 suspension, about the only way to go is Monogram/Revell
