what frame would you use under the omni to a nice pro stock out of that resin body

[Modelmartin]

It was a tube frame car and there really isn't a very good donor to make a full detail model. I am planning on making mine a curbside. If I was to make a full detail model I would probably start with a Monogram 82 Camaro pro stock. That would require major surgery to cut it down to Omni size. That would be a big job for sure.

Andy, I am working on the same project and the chassis that I am using for a full detail Omni is out of the Revell Chevy Beretta pro street kit. It needs some minor adjustments to make it look more accurate but it fits right under the body perfectly. The wheelbase is spot on.

We used the Twister Vega kit

The Mustang II chassis could / would work as well

I just scanned the Hot Rod May 1979 3-page article on the Omni. The Vega or pro/stock Mustang chassis would definitely not be accurate. Wayne's Pro-street Beretta would be better as the Omni was a tube frame car but I think I will still try to cut up a 82 T-Bird pro-stock from Monogram. It is a lot of work to be sure but I am a stickler for correctness in my models.

In other news I just shot the red sides on the 71 Cuda and 65 AWB. I will post pics when I have the blue layed down.

If anyone wants copies of the Omni article, or an article on the Colt, or several articles on the 68-9 Road Runners and GTXs just e-mail me and I will e-mail scanned copies of the articles. Each page is a bout 1 meg! I will be scanning more articles soon and would be happy to share.

Here is the 70 version of the Superbird. These are from July 70 Super Stock & Drag Illustrated Magazine. The car ran in SS/F.
