I Wanna Build A Hauler
« on: June 27, 2019, 01:48:42 PM »
I have the Revell '66 Chevy  --  Red's Orchard.  I know the 1st thing to do is lengthen the frame.  But where do I cut it apart ?

I need all the advice, thoughts, tips, pictures, or what have you I can get. 

Just BEFORE where the cab ENDS the frame rails begin the up sweep.  Does this mean I have to cut off a short part of the floor pan that is already built onto the rails ? ( Which I guess would mean I will have to add that back later ?

What would be the easiest way for me to handle that ?  All the rest of the frame is curved to go over the back axle.

Or maybe someone knows another way to go at it.

BTW it will be to haul a '55 Chevy LM,  and have a single row tire rack.

Thanks.

If it were me, I would cut carefully and straight down at the indicated points. I would then lay in some support rails; adjust my length, and then fill in the new added frame rails. However, that is just the way I would do it. Maybe others would do it differently (or better!)

I appreciate people that actually build and post models.
