Ep. 35 Monogram 80's NASCAR Chassis Swap (Ford chassis/GM Skin)

[@bennybaldwin2627]

I'm so happy to have found this video. I gathered a pile of junkyard kits and was thinking about bashing them together. Now I know what I'm looking at!

[@JohnW1711stock]

WOW! I never knew the details of these cars. I thought they were all custom built, to NASCAR specs. Great info.

[@johanblume2621]

Great information ! I also use the AMT NASCAR chassis on dirt cars and short track cars. Just a little/minor modification here and there, but I love building cars that run on Friday nights and the local tracks !

[@ThirdGearSpeedShop]

Banjo was a legend. I built one of his 39/40 ford sportsman cars last year.

[@brianheymans9823]

hi there,love this segment have yet to try this with future builds,and look forward to other segments

[@brandonwhite2384]

I have an itch! More content! You make this channel likes it’s a damn suspenseful tv show with there always being damn cliff hangers! I feel the need to build but build as I am watching and rewatching your videos on the 66 Malibu. I can only watch them so many times before I can recite the entire episode back to you. Haha. Please more content. Love the how to’s

[@TheLukaCeeChannel]

Thanks for your support. I do my best to get the content out there. I do what i can. An average video can take up to 10 to 12 hours to produce. And can span over days to film. I also work a full time job the works me all over the clock and very hard. I also have a few other interests that i would like to focus on. Like the fact that my 88 Mustang GT has been in pieces for most of the year because i put it aside to make these videos. I do this all out of the enjoyment of the hobby and the making of videos. There is no pay. If there was and i could make a living at this. You would get 4 to 5 videos a week from me. LOL.

[@jerryvolpini7987]

I got into NASCAR (Winston Cup, of course) in the late 70s and I built many of these kits. Great tip on the chassis swap, will have to give this a try, thx. Btw, loving the outtakes - lol

[@brianrussell9223]

Awesome I'll have to try it sometime.

[@marcosfernandeznanita7150]

Great video man, good stuff for the build I have going on now, thanks for sharing

[@toddmiller86]

More I listen to you more I like you you're just an awesome Builder and I just think you're just really appreciate your time that you put into all your models

[@TrueNorthModels]

Great information, I will remember if I eaver decide to build an old NASCR. Chers

[@timroberts69]

Congrats on the 3K subs Matt. Cool video. Onwards and upwards subs wise! I like the buzz cut too, it suits you.

[@bucknertarsney7674]

Good stuff, Luka!

[@highaltitudescalemodeling9528]

Thanks Matt, I love building the old Nascar kits and this shows me a lot.

[@ShortBusScotty]

On Chassis swap, Non NASCAR I put the 53 Studebaker body on a 2000 Corvette Z06 chassis. Only had to rework the rear wheel wells.

[@aussieoldfart5626]

love these, keep up the great work!!!!!

[@vortexmodeling]

Thanks for the insight, I know nothing about NASCAR and I recently became interested in NASCAR models, it's good to learn something from the history of the sport!.

[@jeffyoung2890]

Thanks Luka... Very informative, I was not aware of the chassis difference to these cars in the 80's! I like to use the banjo chassis for my short track stockcars. You have to modify them a bit, however they're much better for the way the short track guys would build their cars. PLUS, they're just MUCH better looking in my opinion.... Can't wait to see you do a short track car in the future!

[@genemiller6837]

thanks luka a lot of people would be suprised how interchangeable the stock cars i mean the drive on monday cars like the fact pontiac used ford top loader 4 speeds and dodge copied the 9 inch to get 8 3/4 and chevy and ford both wanted to copy the hemi

[@brianrussell2083]

Interesting I didn't know that thanks for the information I will remember to keep this in mind keep modeling my brother

[@davepearce6359]

Excellent, informative Video. Thanks Luca, being English, I don’t know a lot about nascar, but great to watch and totally enjoyed it. Thankyou. D. 😎👍🏻

[@stevemcaden1506]

Could you please show the tool that you used to modify the tires .

[@scottalley590]

Very informative. Thank you Luca!

[@calienteron3008]

Neat. Your facts are correct and If I built a nascar kit I will remember this video. In the day I always liked the rear steer better. Love vids keep up the good work.

[@JayEss414]

Great video,end part is very funny

[@ericverpeten4249]

love these cars, Very interesting.This is cool.

[@chrispiazza7487]

more gold from Luca Cee

[@matthewsherman1450]

If you're into building oddball stuff, the AMT/MPC 1/25 Dodge Monaco cop car body fits over the 1/24 Banjo chassis almost perfectly.

[@TheLukaCeeChannel]

I REALLY wish you wouldn't of put that Idea in my head!!

[@wudbcarmodeller2713]

Thank you for the information. Very interesting.

[@scalejedi3849]

Horder i got alot of old stock cars but i will not build them their getting expense.I have the 2 pacs so no i enjoy them in the box great video.Keep them coming

[@TheLukaCeeChannel]

Its YOUR hobby. Enjoy it the way YOU want to. There is no WRONG way of doing it. No one else has any say in it.

[@modelmantstewart1292]

Hey is there any way you or someone else tell me what the interior color of Richard Petty ' 1973 Dodge Charger is I'm working on mpc 16th scale can not find any inside pics

[@wheatonsspeedshop1412]

Same blue as the outside and suspension components dark blue for a petty car. Tie rods black and I'm not positive but I THINK rollbar padding is off white

[@matthewsherman1450]

Did any of Dale Sr's cars other than the Tbirds run the Banjo chassis?

[@TheLukaCeeChannel]

Just about every team he was on. Some of the cars were Banjo rear steer. Up to about 1993-94. Dale liked the rear steer on the short tracks.

[@clellwhidby6132]

Luka I'm building a buddy arrington imperial what kind of chassis should I use

[@TheLukaCeeChannel]

I'd use one of the Salvinos JR 70s Charger chassis.

[@jamesvozar1]

Question Luka, have you made any content on the 89 Monogram pontiac stock car? i`m building it now and have found almost no reference material at all about the kit itself or the actual car driven by Kyle petty. Thanks from the land down under. James

[@TheLukaCeeChannel]

No I have not. If you join our facebook group. Luka Cees Model Car Hobby Headquarters. And a couple of the other NASCAR modeling groups. You will get the info you need.

[@jamesvozar1]

@@TheLukaCeeChannel Thanks for getting back Luca, i will look into that. keep up the great content.

[@thebadguy1977]

You my friend, are DEF an acquired taste :) Seriously tho this is prob one of the most educational videos I have seen for the nascar builder. I never knew any of that cool history. You should do more old nascar kit videos. Good job!

[@TheLukaCeeChannel]

I have outlines for a few more NASCAR subjects. I just need yo get to where I have more time to make videos. Thanks for watching.

[@wheatonsspeedshop1412]

These are primarily what I build. I can tell you that the ford rear end housing and suspension are difficult to get to sit correctly and irritating sometimes. The gm are great and can be lowered easily. Just hollow out the hole in the rear of the wheel slightly egg shaped

[@lookatmattscar]

Ive done that. But there is a very easy, better and more accurate way. Comming soon in another MCHH episode.

[@wheatonsspeedshop1412]

Man this is cool. Liking the Vids. Keep it up 👍

Ddaaanngg,, I Didn't know about that Stuff Lucas Thank You Sir for All the info, KUTGW N GOD BLESS YOU

[@beekeeper7535]

I'm not into nascar AT ALL. So I will admit when I heard him say rear steer I thought I didn't know some nascar's had rear wheel steering

[@tonysancinati3646]

Need help ,wanna build a package of wing warriors ,I SO 1/25 SCALE Superbike chassis n bidys???

[@beekeeper7535]

I would find nascar much more interesting if the cars were left stock except for roll cages.

[@vasili1207]

Sorry nascar is not racing .... Waste of tires just a big roundabouts without exits. I dare you to build an escudo pikes peak.
