[MrDemon340]

i chose this old kit to post on the bench section this needs alot of work i had to get this for the chassis motor and etc look at the chassis,had to rework the inner fenders etc to let the hood do its thing also had to cut a strip outta the chassis to make the rear wheel tubs line up guess it was a lil to long

Your off to a good start.

Gotta like the AMT chassis over the Johan.

Funny thing too, The AMT Chassis is also a Hair long for a 4dr Monaco..

wouldnt it have been cheeper to use the mpc 70 supper bee ( $13.00 Vs $21.00) or is the RR frame different ? just wondering ive been kicken around the idea of doing this to a 63 plymouth & 62 dart ?if the RR frame is closer isnt the new 69 gtx the same ? its only $14.00?or is the amount of work just the same? and you used what was lying around?thanks mike.and your RR is lookin great - keep up the good work.

[Marc @ MPC Motorsports]

'70 Super Bee/'68 RR/'69 GTX all use the same chassis.

[Space Cowboy]

Great body so I will watch this one......

[MrDemon340]

the amt chasis is the same like marc said the johan has no detail at all to the chasis

i bought 2 of the 68 plymouths for 12 bucks a peice all the roadrunner /gtx /superbees have the same chasis u can see the difference in the blue johan and the white amt

I did the same thing with the fast and furios 70 charger,that road runner chassis is just a little trim here and there and it slips right in.

Aren't there two setting you can glue the front clip on the AMT pieces? Seem to recall there was. Haven't built an AMT Mopar since 15 yrs

ago. Just a memory I recall.

Naah, I'm just gonna Fudge the Rear axle placement a Bit..

For Moparfarmer. Naah, Only one hole for Front frame placement..

[MrDemon340]

i thought of that but when u slip the chasis in there u can see parts of the rear wheel tubs from beside the car where they aint foward anuff

[moparfarmer]

Rodney, I seem to recall now that you mentioned it, you are right. The different wheelbase front clip was for the MPC racecar series they

had. There were pony cars, and intermediates and only one chassis. You could use the different holes for the front clips on them.

[exnyman]

The AMT chassis may be better but the Johan Body is far better than the AMT. The AMT doesn't capture the rear quarter panels or the rear wheel opening shape very well at all, looks like they used a car that had extensive bondo/patch panel work done to it as their master.....

[MrDemon340]

thats what im doing using the amt chassis and the johan body
