buggin' out Posted March 5, 2016 Posted March 5, 2016 (edited) So, there are these guys on youtube called roadkill, they do crazy things with old wrecks of cars, they did a car called the nascarlo, they took some old late model paved oval track race car and put a '70 chevy monte carlo body on it, they had to move the roof back for it to fit, and it looked prety cool and weird: i know the monte carlo body that im going to get, but i dont know if there is a set smilar to the original car they used, something that i could use the chassis from, if not, it will be a bit difficult trying to make the chassis when i have hardly no experience. does anyone know of a set like this, with the chassis, looks like the body is a chevrolet, or an immitation chevrolet atleast. here is a link to the video for anyone who wants to watch it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YUefSKCjP8w i forgot to mention, the picture above isnt the final piece, its what they started with, this is the final car: Edited March 6, 2016 by buggin' out
MrBuick Posted March 5, 2016 Posted March 5, 2016 The Nascar body is a Monte Carlo...I would think any Nascar kit should work though, considering you're going to have to heavily modify the cage if you want to match the 1:1 closely. http://www.ebay.com/itm/MONOGRAM-1-24-scale-No-2447-DALE-EARNHARDT-3-GOODWRENCH-Monte-Carlo-Sealed-/141915086763?hash=item210acc5fab:g:O~IAAOxydlFSqgxl
Mark Posted March 5, 2016 Posted March 5, 2016 Around here, you can't go to a flea market, automotive swap meet, or toy show and swing a cat without hitting one or more NASCAR kits priced in the single digits. That said, the 1:1 dirt chassis looks sort of like a NASCAR one except the engine and roll cage are shifted to the rear. Just swapping a stock body onto a NASCAR chassis, you probably wouldn't need to move the roof back like that, but just doing something like the body swap could make an interesting project. There's pro street, pro-touring...why not NASCAR street?
Longbox55 Posted March 5, 2016 Posted March 5, 2016 If you can find one, this kit has the body and a fairly close chassis in it.
buggin' out Posted March 5, 2016 Author Posted March 5, 2016 Thanks guys, i think i want to move the roof and front end back anyway to get it to look like the nascarlo, so i will probably have to find a nascar kit with a shorter wheel-base that the monte carlo.
