SuperStockAndy Posted July 22, 2011 Posted July 22, 2011 Here's a project I've been working on. It's using the AMT Pro Street body with the Pro Sportsman Chassis. The chassis is only for mockup, I'm not using it on the final model. I'll probably paint it a very glossy black. It'll also have a VERY tall cowl hood Also, which class would a car like this run? Can't be Pro Mod, since it's got the stock body and it's naturally aspirated. Thanks for looking, Andy
lrlocke01 Posted July 22, 2011 Posted July 22, 2011 Did it require alot of cutting or did it fit fairly well? Looks great BTW.
SuperStockAndy Posted July 22, 2011 Author Posted July 22, 2011 Thanks Randy! The chassis fits great-although I'll have to move the engine up a little bit. Also, the tube chassis hangs out of the front which could be corrected with a bit of cutting.
brett Posted July 22, 2011 Posted July 22, 2011 Any particular reason you're not using that chassis Andy? I know the fit is pretty good, looks like you've done a good job of cutting the doors out too. As for class a lot depends on the chassis and engine configuration but check out the pump gas shootout cars on YouTube or the psca (pro street car association ) 6 and 7 second race cars that are still street legal or at least close to it. Irlocke, if I remember correctly you just need to shorten the very back of the floorpan (where the batteries are).
Mooneyzs Posted July 22, 2011 Posted July 22, 2011 Andy this is off to a great start man and looking sweet. This is going to be a nice build.
SuperStockAndy Posted July 22, 2011 Author Posted July 22, 2011 (edited) Thanks Brett, this chassis is from my built '55 Pro Sportsman. I'll get another kit and build up the chassis again, probably with a different roll cage. Basically what I'm going for is a full-blown race car with a bracket racing feel. Also, should I use airshift or levers? Thanks Chris, I'm really into the cars like these Edited July 22, 2011 by Android
tyrone Posted July 25, 2011 Posted July 25, 2011 this is a good looking build, I have done a few of these and that chassis works perfect, your off to a great start, nice job cutting out the doors...
SuperStockAndy Posted July 25, 2011 Author Posted July 25, 2011 Thanks Tyrone, these Pro Sportsman chassis are very universal!
brett Posted July 25, 2011 Posted July 25, 2011 Andy, if you want a bracket racer feel/look go for the levers much cheaper option than an airshifter
SuperStockAndy Posted July 25, 2011 Author Posted July 25, 2011 Thanks for the suggestion Brett, levers it is!
Reeves Racing Posted July 26, 2011 Posted July 26, 2011 Nice start. I love boxey little race cars. The wheel base and stance look very good.
SuperStockAndy Posted July 26, 2011 Author Posted July 26, 2011 Thanks Mitch, I myself also like the cars with this stance
