uhh the fast and furious 70` monte frame? its a great kit! but the monte is another good derby car...........so you would have to give up one of the bodies or just switch frames and make the caprice with the monte frame and the monte with the caprice frame

actually for the 76 caprices the 67 impala frame and interior tub fit like a glove... the monte chassis and frame is too skinny and I think the wheel base is off

yes i know.... but i hear someone might be casting them and selling for cheap.
so are we limited to only two cars per person or two cars per class?
