AMT COT question - donor chassis

[DWR]

I would like to know if anyone has built a project using the new AMT COT body on an older Revell or AMT Nascar kit. I think the AMT is a great curbside kit but using it in combination with a fully detailed Revell chassis is what I want to build. I am curious if anyone has tried it and what modifications had to be made to make it work

There have been a couple of threads over on the Randy Ayers site showing dynamite builds of the COT. I think you want to stay with the AMT COT chassis and add detailing to that. The current kit has the hood separate to make that easier. You just need to add an engine (with associated FI plumbing) and the front cage parts which you might be able to make from one of the older kits. Just my opinion but it seems it would be a lot easier starting with the chassis that fits the body to begin with.
