Trans-Am Conversion!

by Joel Tschantz

Just got done with a project that I started to keep me busy until the new Carrera NASCARS come in and thought I would share a few pictures of the finished product.  I used some of the ideas that were published in a recent issue of Model Car Racing Magazine.

The body is a Carrera Cuda and the chassis is a Scalextric Camaro chassis. The decals are my buddy Bruce Patto's.  I am pretty happy with the finished product with the exception of the hood scoop.  I built it to race against the Scalextric current Trans Am series of cars, so I guess it will have to do for now.

 
 
I would love to do the #77 Challenger if I could find the body in a model kit.  If any of you readers have any ideas on any Challenger kits that are out there that I could convert, I would appreciate the help.
