first off i must say that this kit is awesome.
basically you build the chassis to your liking with the hop up parts or not and when youre done you can use either the sedan body or phaeton body both of which are included in the kit and both have their own sets of parts. best part though is that the bodies are removable after the kit is complete, so you can switch between them if you like.

i started this kit some time ago, my goal being to end up with two custom switchable bodies. this is my progress on the sedan body, which has now been chopped, sectioned and channeled. more to come soon.

had a bit of free time tonite. i sprayed the body black to see my oopses better when sanding (not sure what color to paint it yet), and then set it on half of a frame i had started making for it a few months ago. ive never been good at engine detailing but gave it a try, still needs more work for sure. the motor is a 327 out of a willys wagon kit. the headers came out of the parts box im not exactly sure what kit they were from.

hopefully ill have time tomorrow to work on the suspension and brakes.

Hi,

those body mods look great !!

Can you post a photo of the frame?

What wheels will you use?

Thats sick!!! I love it!! The engine looks good, dont get down on yourself.... The only thing I dont like is the rear wheels, I love the front, but the back look kinda funny..

Coolness!
The big section makes the chop look, well, less chopped.

thanks for the comments guys.
made a bit more progress on it tonite...

did a bit more surgery on the interior.

oops, thats what i meant, ha.

Use the rear wheels and tires out of the Willys van kit where you got the motor. The rear slicks would look great, especially if you did whitewalls on em with acrylic paint (there are plenty of how to's for this on all the boards). The fronts you have would look great with the slicks and so would the front runners from the willys.

Great chop, section and channel, BTW!
