I kitbashed the Dodge Duster race car kit with a 4x4 truck chassis to make a lifted 4 wheel drive Mad Max style car that I call the "Dust Up".

Great idea! I've never used a NASCAR Chassis like that before, but I think it's a good idea. That's what is so neat about this model building hobby. Some just build a model straight out of the box, and some like to kit bash. So there's something for everybody. 🙂

[@modelcarvideos5829]

[@thenut9701]

Matt - Find the right size pill bottle, Cut the top off, then cut what is left in half. Perfect wheel tubs. The filler in the interior rear you can get sheet styrene in different patterns or just a plain sheet. Styrene is so easy to work with and bend I can't believe more people don't use it. Just my 2 cents. Keep on modeling.

[@davidwillis3913]

So many options with styrene stock, angles, panels, tubes, rods, half rounds, diamond plate, etc. You can make anything. There's a real sense of accomplishment when you build something realistic from scratch.

[@flyingfortressrc1794]

That's a great idea 💡

[@markbucey7057]

Yes I have done similar swaps and it usually a pretty straightforward process trim to fit I have however had to do some front suspension alterations to the stock car frame and A arms and swap in anarrower Wheel and Tyre could avoid all that stuff using a strut system like on the promods have fun

[@modelcarvideos5829]

👍🏻👍🏻

[@algray1195]

Looks promising! ❤️❤️

[@eyedjack-bi8dl]

20 years ago I had a thought "what would happen if NASCAR went retro?" (but with all the modern safety devices). As a Mark Martin fan (and a Thunder Road fan) I married the two ideas together and dropped a 50 Ford body on the Thunderbird NASCAR chassis. Removed all the trim work and smoothed the body, added a trunk spoiler, scribed roof flaps on the roof, and discovered that the "custom" front valance from the 50 ford kit had the perfect chin spoiler already built in. Aftermarket Stroh light decals........perfect.

[@wombat_models]

I think your plans for this would be good Matt - would love to see the finished result!

[@modelcarvideos5829]

Thanks

[@Stupidfastracing]

Thanks for the shout out buddy once you use the Nascar chassis under one you will use a lot more of them I put mine under the 66 Chevy 2

[@modelcarvideos5829]

👍🏻👍🏻

[@Stupidfastracing]

Once you take the firewall and dash off the Nascar chassis then you can see how much you will have to cut off the front and I use them for the pro touring look can't wait to see how you do on it my friend and thank you sir for getting me all the subs you're a great friend

I have done this 2 times with chevy nascar kits. One used a 55 chevy kit with the front end cut off like an old open wheel dirt car and the 1 im on now is a 78 ford truck with a shorted bed

[@modelcarvideos5829]

Cool!!

[@RoadRunnergarage8570]

You're not alone Matt.. I've been experimenting with kit bashing as well... Already done a little of I-(Converted the MPC Country Charger into a Hemi Charger RT and put mags on the 67 Chevelle SS 396 and 84 Corvette from the e project box I picked up..)..

Great idea… to use a nascar chassis… I’ve never tried it but looks to be a good donor! To really get it in the weeds ! Good luck ! Looking forward to seeing this build!

[@model-grail-kit-hunter]

i'm sure if you can flip the front spindles up side down to lower front or cut them off and add a new styrene tubing to do so

[@Bob0sModelFabWorx]

I like where you're going with this. When I do something like this, I always have a lot of testing and redoing things. A lot. You'll get there. And have fun doing it too!

[@modelcarvideos5829]

Thanks!

[@ledheadkustomplastic3442]

Lol, you are correct Sir. I spend more time thinking and testing than actually building.... The imagination can get us in some situations at times....

[@ledheadkustomplastic3442]

Lol, glad to see you getting way out of your comfort zone.. Once you figure out just how many cars you can do with those chassis under them your going to want to do all kinds of stuff.... I know the guy who showed Jeremy how to do that on 5 or 6 different car and truck kits.. The trucks are harder to do, but not impossible.... Just a lot of work. Can't wait to see what you come up with..... You're about to have fun with this.

[@modelcarvideos5829]

Yeah he said you showed him.

[@ledheadkustomplastic3442]

@@modelcarvideos5829 Jeremy really is a good model builder. We have taught each other stuff for years. Some of the details he does has made me a better builder.. Watching what you guys on KZbin are doing is also making us all think, and try new things.. Thanks for that..

[@deenjoan9938]

Pretty sure that will work for you Matt with some work ,but if you want the glass and decals that your missing for that kit I have some and will send them to you if you want them, as for have I seen anyone use a nascar chassie then look right here at Doc's Kustom Korner does this a lot and they come out unbelievable ,Happy to see what ever way you go with this and like I said if you want the glass and decals just tell me i will send them to you.

[@alanq64]

I think it was Luka Cee that had a video of using the monogram nascar thunderbird chassis as a go-to for making a roundy round racer. I guess you can use it with a whole bunch of different bodies. I bought several of them for that reason and they're pretty cheap too.

[@marksillars8997]

I have built 2 versions of the hairy olds but with 70 GTX'S. 1 has 2 blown 440's and the other has 2 blown hemi s.

[@JDsHouseofHobbies]

This looks to be interesting. I got my donor kits for a 65 Impala Pro Street. I like that the Chevelle kit gives you the option of slicks or massive street tires. I just need a set of Cragar Pro Stars for the wheels!

[@timemachinesscalemodels]

Uh oh.....Mathew caught the kitbash bug!! Welcome to the show. 😉

[@Bob0sModelFabWorx]

I think you should go over the instruction sheet for the NASCAR kit so you know what you have to change. Some of what you talked about will make connecting pieces not work and then more modifying. Plan ahead by looking at the instructions.

[@modelcarvideos5829]

👍🏻👍🏻

[@spamanator666]

Awesome, looking forward to seeing this! I used to do this when I was a kid, made my fair share of 4x4 muscle cars, drag race super seventies street vans, slammed dune buggies with big blocks...

[@modelcarvideos5829]

👍🏻👍🏻

[@JohnW1711stock]

I had a nice 62 Corvette body and a 64 Dodge chassis, left from a Dodge Funny Car/Super Stocker kit. I shortened the Dodge chassis to fit the Corvette and tubbed that. If you never turned it over no one would know.

[@modelcarswithglen.]

Hi Matt Glad to see you thinking outside the box

[@davidgray5180]

Thats how it starts, Soon all your nascars will become vintage Stock Cars. I have a lot of extra Nascar bodies.

[@rudyhollis6540]

Most use the AMT chassis under Pro Street/ Pro-Touring type cars! If this is your first kit bash I think you'd be better off with the Chevelle chassis! Gonna look awesome either way!!!

[@alancyr3100]

I think you should check out an AMT nacscar kit before making any commitments. Cool idea.

[@Wildman9]

You can use the 67 pro street Chevelle chassis ,but you probably knew that .might be easier than you think.

[@modelcarvideos5829]

👍🏻👍🏻

[@mpass057]

I used to love to build models but never customized them. Just the way they came in the box. I think I might pick it up again now. I have a few different ones sitting in a box, some open and some not. Should be fun. Love to see how this turns out.

[@modelcarvideos5829]

[@kenhanson1819]

Whatever you come up with Matt, I'm sure it will be fantastic. I'm still blown away over how awesome your '48 Ford came out! Great you put the link to Hobby Nut Models. I've been buying kits and stuff there lately. Great service from them!

[@kennybuckman6483]

The nascar front suspension is not level side to side. At least not on the monogram versions. Be sure to watch for that.

[@ckna6739]

Great ideal for the nascar chassis never try it good tip

[@modelcarvideos5829]

👍🏻👍🏻

[@West_Georgia_Rods_Customs]

Awesome idea Matt! On another note you use the NASCAR frame on yours and I will use the Chevelle pro street frame ….. this way everyone can see how using both frames for a pro street build.

[@otsmodels1045]

Just got 4 nascar kits in the mail from eBay to do something similar (not pro street), just badass street/race muscle cars.

[@modelcarvideos5829]

Cool!!

[@michaelcooke2559]

Use the pill bottles that was suggested, those are great for wheel wells. Using the NASCAR kit for the frame is a great idea. Be sure that the big block engine you are going to use will fit into the chassis. Mock up the engine in the chassis pretty soon, just to make sure it will work with what you plan to do on the build. The idea with the interior tub seems like a good one, but I’m thinking you’ve got a lot of trimming/cutting your future. Get ready to sling your fair share of putty to get things to fit nicely. Also, use a piece of sheet styrene for the package shelf. You may want to consider using some flocking for the carpet and package shelf. It will look nice, and should help to hide the cuts you need to make. Just a thought, why not consider a turbo 4 cylinder engine, and make a road racer. Thanks for sharing.

[@stevenbongiorno9277]

Lucas C has a podcast where he shows a similar transformation

[@johnnymayo8534]

Very interested to follow this build. I would cut the old chassis from the rear wheel wells back and build a pro street subframe out of styreen tubing....use either al can or pill bottles to fab the wheel wells...nice thing about model cars, there is no one 'right' way.

[@modelcarvideos5829]

Cool idea

[@AEDominguez4444]

Hey Matt, thanks for recommending Jeremy. That Nova 2 is a sweet build. I never would have thought to use a Nascar chase. We learn something new every day. Thanks again.

[@ledheadkustomplastic3442]

They fit 66, 69and the old pro 72 Nova.. Also 65falcon and even can be put under a 66 Chevy c-10 truck with a crap load of work..

You bet!

Welcome to the Dark Side! Lol 😆! Have fun

[@modelcarvideos5829]

[@danrosenello4847]

Kit-bashing that Cutlass body onto a NASCAR chassis is a great idea. I did the same thing using an AMT ‘67 Chevelle body back when that kit was new(1993?). But using a NASCAR chassis as the base for a pro street car ? Not sure your ticket will get us to that station. If you’re determined not to use the obvious Chevelle pro street chassis, why not use a Monogram Pro Stock/Pro Street chassis ? I’d think that would be more straight forward ?

[@blueoxmodelshop3405]

I’ve never heard of that until I heard Jeremy say something about using a nascar chassis. Seems like a good idea. You’ll probably be able to get the suspension lower with a nascar chassis!!

[@ledheadkustomplastic3442]

I don't know if he will admit it but I taught him that about 6 years ago.. I accidentally made one work under a 1964 Galaxy and started putting them under alot of different vehicle.... It can turn into a lot of work and thinking, but start checking in to it.. You won't regret it.

Cool project Matt, I tried using a old nascar chassis under the flip nose chevy gonna put a couple of pictures on the fb page at the moment I'm planning on pairing a old dragcar bottom with a old amt kit but I've got to scratch build the rear wheel suspension 'cause that's missing

[@robertlanders3803]

Matt it sounds like a good idea of using the nascar bottom frame frame I'm sure you'll be able to tackle anything that shows up far is like the back seat just use sheet styrene like I did before on a Mustang to make a backseat delete but dial Seville my own Royal cage for it or whatever you decide to do it's gonna work out it's gonna look good appreciate your videos and thank you for the link to hobby nut models I'll start going through that to help you out

Are you going to flair the fenders? Luca C. Did,In video. I think that might be called for?

[@lindsaylavallee5012]

I think you were on to something there (I know I’m a year late but) I have seen Pro Stock models being used but not NASCAR .. going to binge on this build now !!

[@johnroberts5285]

It should work well. The pro street front tires are narrow, so you might not have to narrow the front end. Definitely more of a challenge than the Chevelle chassis. What the heck Matthew use all three kits!

[@bkmodelcars]

Okay as a will it work will it fit Builder I don't do stock or box stock anything you use that makes it look like something then we'll go is acceptable and when you begin something like this you're in nishal plan never ends up the same as it started good luck good looking forward to this build

[@raythackston1960]

So, it sounds like you are making a whole lot more work by not using the 67 chassis. It has the room for the tires...the NASCAR does not...so there I said it. It also requires a lot of cutting and filling. Pro Street chassis have room for the wheels and tires you want up under the chassis.
