Hello everyone, I converted AMT's 57 Bel Air into a pro mod drag car. I made the chassis from 2mm plastic rods to the right dimensions. I made the suspension parts, engine, exhaust and cockpit myself. The front rims were my least favorite part. Other than that I'm happy with the result.

Great looking pro-mod. Impressive scratch built chassis.  What did you base the chassis design on?  Was it your own design or based on an existing car?

Thanks Andrew, I'm glad you liked it. I designed the chassis myself. I tried very hard to make it fit the car. I did a lot of research on the internet. I used 2mm plastic rods. I learned that the chassis profile thickness of real cars is about 50mm, which is 2mm in 1/25 scale

You are welcome to any photos that I have. I made decal artwork for the contingencies as well. This sheet is for the 37 Chevy pro mod.
