I think its a 67 ?! I found a new one for 25.00 at hobby lobby, but since I will be cutting it to pieces.....I thought a built kit or glue bomb might be better

Don't go cutting yet. If you're not in a hurry I can look in my stash.

Ok I'm sending you the chassis from the Revell 66 Chevelle wagon. I test fit it to that same exact body youre using. Like a glove, baby! Of course you'll need to modify it for the altered wheel base. I'm sending it with the 64 Dodge you bought from me.

Oh man you are the greatest !! I believe I have everything else that I will need. Watch for more work on the How to Build an Altered thread. Is there something I can do for you ?
Oh we also need to decide what we are going to do for prizes on the anniversary build for next june. I would like to do 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. Still looking for some celebrity judges.

Ok folks, Iceman hooked me up with a frame so it looks like I will be continuing this little how to section. I will show how I alter the frame and suspension, before moving on to modifying the interior bucket. Maybe we can get one of the great engine builders that are on this site to do a how to on engine detail and build this thing a motor !!!

After thinking about it, I decided that was and excellent idea . So I have bagged up all the pieces that go to the engine of the chevelle model and I will send them to the first person who is willing to build it ( in the altered theme ) , detail it and do it as a "How To" here on the site. Later I will install it into the finished build. We can do the same thing with the interior and the paint job !
Lastly the finished model could be used as a prize or we could sell it as a finished model on e bay and use the money to buy more prizes !
What do you guys think !!!

i suppose the chassis will be chopped up to bring the wheels forward? Interior assembly? This is interesting.

You know Beast, you get some pretty good ideas most of the time. I like it. The hardest part though may be getting it and whoever to mesh together for it. |

If there are model "conventions" where models, kits and aftermarket parts are sold (usually once or twice a year), GO! Often, dealers have glue bombs kids have long ago built that are cheap (around $5 or less) and offer a myriad of doner parts. Thanx for a very clever idea that saves much time and effort for a single kit.
