A.R.C. Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 I found this in a Dollar store a while ago and couldn`t resist chopping it up a little. Lowered suspension a ton, channeled the body, removed the box from the body and moved it higher up, built a new rear frame assy to fit the raised box. Got rid of the leaf spring set-up and made an I-beam style front axle, sectioned the Rad to accomodate lower ride height and shorted the rear bumper. Its just a simple curbside but was a fun way to burn off a few hours. I`ve never built anything this small before, it was tougher than I thought it would be to modify something so small. The pic below is what its supposed to look like.
blunc Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 nice build on a very basic kit. If you feel like putting an engine in it Lindberg makes a ZR1 Vette that has a decent engine for 1/32 scale.
A.R.C. Posted February 28, 2014 Author Posted February 28, 2014 Oh yeah sure, now he tells me!! A ZR1 motor would have been very cool. I`d be all over doing that but I glued the hood to the body and theres no going back now. Bummer.
