sherm71 Posted March 8, 2014 Posted March 8, 2014 Hey all, I really want to do this 49 Merc. in Pro Street style right now it is sitting on a 67 Chevelle SS chassis but it is slightly short . What chassis is closer to this wheelbase ??? other suggestions for this build would be appreciated too !!THX
Jantrix Posted March 8, 2014 Posted March 8, 2014 The only thing that pops to mind is the AMT '70 Superbee pro-street. And it might be closer. But it's not difficult to stretch a chassis with some square or sheet stock. Check the Plastruct or Evergreen rack at your local hobby store.
sherm71 Posted March 8, 2014 Author Posted March 8, 2014 Thx. Rob I am seeking a 70' Super Bee on Ebay right now and yes in the near future when i get back to work full time i will get more into fabrication and that type of custom work I have a few project ideas in my head already and the nearest Hobby shop has a nice rack of plastics !!! looking forward to take my building and customizing to the next level sooooooon !!!!
1 bad55 stan Posted March 9, 2014 Posted March 9, 2014 That will look pretty cool Eric,The other way to do the chassis with out spending any money is to cut the merc chassis and join the two,I have done this a few times.Just a thought...
sherm71 Posted March 10, 2014 Author Posted March 10, 2014 Thx. Stan good idea as i am just jumping out of the box and wanting to be able to chop and match up chassis in my builds to come . i also want to work on the engine compartment on some upcoming builds . get rid of stock fender wells and scratch build tube upper frame rails and put 1 of those aftermarket Gibson Engines in.
