Looks good, how well did the frame swap go? Any issues?

Thanks everyone for the comments! As far as the fit...well the chassis went into the body with only minor trimming around the rear section of the frame (behind the rear wheels and a little off the back edge. The interior doesn't fit the chassis's huge wheel tubs at all, so I had to do a lot of trimming in this area. Also the hump in the interior and chassis didn't match very well which required me to do a lot of cutting/scraping/ sanding to mate these parts together properly. Also the roll bar in this kit never did fit very well, so I scrapped it in favor of a scratch built one made from plasti-strut tubing. I'm using the Coronet's Hemi engine, but dig through my parts box for an induction system I liked. Finally I decided on a blower with dual 4's and a huge bug catcher on top! Mated the blower belt and Alternator belts together and made them fit together well. I'll move on to the interior next!

Thanks guys! I should be able to get the rest of the exhaust on and wrap up the chassis tonight. The body has all it's colors applied so all it needs is bmf and clearcoats.

Very nice build AK - so you clear coat over your bmf? [br Not always, but sometimes I do. It helps to hold small areas such as door handles and wiper arms in place. You can also clearcoat over decals. |
