cobraman Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 This was kind of a fun build and I am pretty happy with the outcome. I know a lot of guys could have done a better job with this but that is always the case. Anyway,,,,, started with a resin body that was meant to be used to do a replica of the " Bronco Buster". I tried for a while to try and find the decals but could not so I decided just to build it. I used the chassis from the AMT double dragster kit. I had to modify the body by cutting the rear cover out for the chassis roll bar and then also cut an opening for the engine so I could get the front end lower. I used a pre wired distributor, slicks are from the AMT parts pack. Made the floor with sheet plastic covered with BMF. The paint is Big Bad Blue and then it was decaled and cleared. The frame was painted bright yellow. Thanks for looking and any and all comments are welcome.
cobraman Posted June 30, 2014 Author Posted June 30, 2014 Thank you guys. I got the body on ebay. I believe it was cast by AFX N Scale but not 100 % sure about that.
FASTBACK340 Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 That is soooo cool! Awesome job!! I like the way it sits and it's a real nice clean build.

Chuck Most Posted July 1, 2014 Posted July 1, 2014 I love it! The idea of a drag-racing Bronco does seem a little bizarre, but maybe that's what makes the idea work so well. I might have to track down one of those bodies now...
cobraman Posted July 1, 2014 Author Posted July 1, 2014 Check out photos of the "Bronco Buster" if your not familure with it. Pretty cool.
Modelmartin Posted July 1, 2014 Posted July 1, 2014 Oh, man! I have the decals for the Bronco Buster but not the body!!!!
W-409 Posted July 1, 2014 Posted July 1, 2014 That turned out really nice! I like the color a lot, something that could have been in original Bronco as well. Great job fitting the body on that chassis, it looks like it rolled out from the factory lane like that. Very nice job.
