Gotta Idea!
Ok my favorite car of all time has to be the Buick GNX.
I found a model.
I really want to do this but dont really know the specifics of mounting the body. Got any ideas?

I drilled to holes in the front deck and created a brace across the front that held the front on. The back, I did brace that connected to the back two screws. Worked out really well for me. This was on a 1/24th 2002 Camaro.

If that's die-cast it'll be too heavy.

scale
they are 1:28 scale,but they dont make 1:28 scale model kits.What i see people on here doing is stretching the chassis on the xmods a little to take up the extra length.

I dunno now, I started looking into those GT-40s on ebay, there hella nice and I really want one, but 50 bucks + shipping.
Come on, that ridiculous. I can stretch the wheel base to fit it better and trim the scoops to lower it closer to the body or put bigger wheels on.
I just wanna know if the Lithum kits will fit under the body.
Anyone?
