Lionspride started a thread on the Salvinos Charger and I got a little carried away. In an effort to allow that conversation to be what it should I've set up here.
Bill J. sent me an excellent article on this particular mod I'm sure will be a help. I just need to know a few more things.
It's been forever since I lay on the grass under one of my Chargers so details are a bit fuzzy. I've noticed two key differences in the 2nd gen and 3rd gen Chargers. The Revell chassis has frame rails that keep a consistent distance, while the AMT spreads toward the rear. Which is correct?
The Revell fuel tank is longer.
There's a lot to do to get this chassis ready to work on. All those lines need to be removed. Tank replaced with cell box, smooth forward section of pan, build new K member and torsion bar mounts.
It's going to take a while just to do the cleanup so expect this to go really slow. Any tips or reference photos will be greatly appreciated. I am basing this on the Petty/Hyde cars.
Hopefully I can get a decent chassis that can be used with most of the kit parts. _________________ "Dude, it's not Camelot... it's only a model." "Details man, I need details!!" |
