Two Sox & Martin pro stock compacts

[M W Elky]

The Omni inspiration started when I saw this unwanted snap kit on eBay. So I decided to give it another chance as a lesser built Sox & Martin car . I also found a 3-D printed 1978 challenger body also on eBay, and thought both of these bodies could work with the mpc Vega as a donor kit for the chassis and interior tub. So far the paint jobs came out pretty good although I had some bleed through issues on the Omni. The interior tub fit really good I used the Omni dash on the Omni and will use the Vega dash for the challenger . The Omni will get a 340 engine. The challenger will be built as a curbside. As I found the 3-D printed plastic very hard and brittle to cut. I’ll have to move the front wheel wells forward on both builds.

I don't know about the Omni, but the whole front end comes off the Challenger and it's still sporting a Hemi in it.

Nice! Looking forward to seeing the progress on both of them. I’m planning on building a curbside version of the Omni later on this summer.

The Omni is super cool, but the Challenger is way too cool.  I can't wait to see how these turn out.

These are coming along beautifully, very well done, I actually owned a Challenger, it was made by Mitsubishi and a great little car.
