cobraman Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Don't normally have more than one project going at a time but I am stalled on my Cheetah build until some parts and paint arrives. Want to keep working on something so I am starting my next project. This will be a Bronco drag truck. The resin body is from an unknown vendor to me. It is not too bad but seems to be cast in a more rubbery material than I am used to. The finish is not very smooth and will require a bit of work. It is supposed to be used as a replica of the Bronco Buster but I could not locate any decals. So...... it will be just some generic drag car. I will try and alter the chassis from the Fiat to work with this body. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JPolli Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Ray, please keep posting pics of your progress. I always wanted to do one of these. Would love to see how it can be done. Great idea of using a chassis from the AMT Double Dragster kit. I think it will work well with a few modifications. Now, I need to find a Bronco Buster Resin.

cobraman Posted June 26, 2014 Author Share Posted June 26, 2014 Thanks Tom. Link did not work for me. Unfortunatly I am past the point of no return with the modifications I made to the body to fit the chassis I am using. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cobraman Posted June 26, 2014 Author Share Posted June 26, 2014 Making some headway on this build. The chassis I elected to use was not set up correct for this body. Nothing lined up good but the wheelbase was pretty good. Anyway, I had 2 choices. I could either modify the frame which would involve moving the seating, the roll bar and probably relocating the engine and modifying the drive shaft. The other option, the one I chose was to modify the body to fit. Thus the reason I put a notch in the rear panel. It gave me the room I needed for the roll bar. One photo shows a mock up of where I am headed. Color (s) have not been selected yet but I am leaning towards a 2 tone paint job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
