1/24 scale 12 bolt rear end, and 1/24 A body GM detailed chassis???

[Tim H]

I am looking for a 12 bolt rear end for a project I am doing. Anyone know of a kit that has one I can get one from.

Also looking for a nice detailed chassis for early 70s GM A bodies. Is there one out there??

 

Please let me know.

Thanks

Tim

If you want 1/24, the best I can think of offhand are the Monogram '70 Chevelle SS454 and '70 Buick GSX. Not sure about the rear ends in either, though.

 The 1/24 Monogram '70 Malibu/Chevelle SS 454 and '70 Buick GSX are the best available, IMHO.

As far as detailed GM A bodies, you can perhaps look no further than the newly released Revell '68 Chevelle. Granted that one is 1/25 scale, but IMO that's one of the best detailed chassis to come down the pike that I've seen.

IIRC that would have a 12 bolt because the car is a big block.

What about the AMT 1969 Cutlass/442 W30?  That one's really nice and has poseable steering.

It's 1/25 scale. OP specifically asked about 1/24.

My bad, sorry.

I am building a Monogram GSX. Just seeing if there was any better.  I am looking to use the Monogram Chevelle streetrat 12 bolt but seems big compared to the stock 10 bolt on the GSX.

I have used the AMT 69 442 Chassis under a couple projects. It is a great chassis. Anyone know about the chassis in the 72 Hurst/Olds?

It's excellent, but 1/25 scale.

I'd suggest you make the most of the GSX chassis. It's not terrible, just simplified in some areas, but can be improved (not mine):

Casey, thanks for posting up that picture. it is very nicely done. Do you know who built it. I would like to know where they got the Buick engine red?

The image came up via a Google search for "Monogram Buick GSX", so you might be able to find out more that way.
