Ratrodtommy77 Posted August 9, 2014 Posted August 9, 2014 (edited) Here is a charger I got from my brother... No chassis and no running gear.. Just a shell which he cut one of the rear wheel arches to make a derby car.. He never cut the other one out though.. So I decided to make a pro stock style car with spares from my parts box.. I have started making the new rear wheel arch for it which isn't done.. I have two 440's and a hemi (still deciding on the engine) and some drag wheels from a chevelle I ended up making into a dirt tracker. I have a chassis from a studebaker funny car I used to have and countless other parts so hopefully make a pretty sick charger out of! Edited August 10, 2014 by Ratrodtommy77
RickMartin Posted August 9, 2014 Posted August 9, 2014 that looks like a pretty good start..should be awesome when your done..im watching Rick
Jantrix Posted August 9, 2014 Posted August 9, 2014 For me it's easier to just get a new body that to spend hours and hours repairing damage. As for the engine..........................both 440's. Think about it.
1 bad55 stan Posted August 10, 2014 Posted August 10, 2014 You have i pile of body work to do but hey use what you have!
Ratrodtommy77 Posted August 10, 2014 Author Posted August 10, 2014 The body work doesn't really scare me like scratch building a chassis does.. Never really scratch built a chassis but I have to learn at some point.. I've decided to ditch the charger front end and put a 30's style front on her as I have a thing for experimenting and rat rods.. On my own car (Holden kingswood ute l, basically an el camino or a South African chevrolet el camino) or as the USA calls them a sports pickup I drew up plans for it to have the body as the original 1977 body with no modifications except the front is coming off and I'm running bobby fenders and a 30's style grille and headlights.. I like doing things nobody has done before.. Seeing how as I did it to my real car, why not do it to a model car?
