Mad Slammer Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 Hi… This is an old AMT/Matchbox Snap kit from the 80’s. I don’t remember how I got it but a couple of years ago found another one on eBay. It’s originally based on a 80’s Dodge or AMC something on a CJ chasis… So I guess it’s an SUV… Anyways, that is how it was ??♂️… I built a chasis with simplified suspension and some details… I started it a long time ago, now I went to work on it again correcting some things and trying to finish it this time around. Well, here’s where we’re at… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Geiger Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 I’ve also got a couple of those. It reminds me of an AMC show car. On the one I started, I also opened up the rear window. I’ve been playing with a Jeepster chassis. Overall the kit is toylike and the pieces are heavy, but a fun starting point for a project.

misterNNL Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 Your styling is a vast improvement over the original design. The low and pro vibe brings this into current century. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

misterNNL Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 (edited) You might consider adding some louvers to the trunk lid to let the tire smoke out!
