magicmustang Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 (edited) Hey, here' a AMT Chezoom funny car body I got years ago in trade. Wasn't interested in the rear engine version. So I altered the wheelbase on the body, stuck in a Chevy "Ratpacker" AWB chassis, modified the interior, added some Slixx decals and you have a Malcolm Durham 66' AWB Corvair funny car, "Strip Blazer IV". Let me know what you think. Edited January 18, 2015 by magicmustang
magicmustang Posted July 24, 2014 Author Posted July 24, 2014 (edited) More photos. Had to alter the wheelbase on the body, scratch build the interior and change the rear assembly to coil springs verses leaf springs. Photo of real car from the internet. Edited May 17, 2015 by magicmustang
W-409 Posted July 25, 2014 Posted July 25, 2014 That's a very neat Corvair. Corvair body with Rat Packer chassis seems to work nicely and I have to agree, I prefer the front engine version. Very nice job.
Mike 1017 Posted July 26, 2014 Posted July 26, 2014 Very nice. Corvair Funny cars are one of my favorites.
magicmustang Posted July 27, 2014 Author Posted July 27, 2014 (edited) Nice to see Round2 is rereleasing the Chezoom Corvair rear engine funny car again this Dec. Will have to do another Corvair funny car (Seaton's Shaker?, Hayden Proffitt?, Doug Thorley?). Thanks for your comments. Edited July 27, 2014 by magicmustang
Truck parts Posted July 27, 2014 Posted July 27, 2014 Cool build,and thanks for information on round 2 coming out with that again.
Pete L. Posted July 27, 2014 Posted July 27, 2014 Great conversion, really nice work... looks just like the 1:1 car !!!
