cheyenne93 Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 Really not sure where to put this. Got an 86 monte carlo body , no chasis. So I though what to do with this.? Got some nascars that I'll never build so, gona modify the nascar chasis to the monte and convert it as close as I can to a dirt st. stock. Then I will have something to put on the race trailer I scratched out a couple years ago. Pics coming soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheyenne93 Posted April 30, 2021 Author Share Posted April 30, 2021 Made a little more progress on the stocker. Got the filler panels done. Made some side skirts, didn't take pics of them. The tires are dirt track tires that I narrowed. The hood is scratched from 0.040 styrene. As always comments welcomed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TarheelRick Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 Going to be a sweet short tracker. Keep those updates coming. Of the 14 builds in my limited display, 7 are short trackers - one of my favorite build styles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dwc43 Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 Looking good. Your air filter is backwards though. That's a shield to protect the filter from dirt and hot air off the rad and water if it leaks. NASCAR used them that way to take in air off the windshield cause it's a high pressure point on those cars. What I like about it is the drilled grill and the bend on the side skirts like so many of those cars run. I ran dirt for years before going asphalt and road courses.

Sledsel Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 (edited) I love this build. Cannot wait to see her slinging dirt! Can I toss in some advise? Get some 1/48, 'O' scale, 7/8 head Archer rivets (made for railroaders) for along those side skirts, spoiler, nose, ect. I used the 1/2" head rivets on a truck build and they look good but to small so the 7/8 should be good.
