In Response To: Thanks for this! I'm looking to replicate something generally like what would have run on the dirt track near where I grew up in the 70's and 80's ()

... but note that the recent releases have pavement slick tires (that look like they came from a version of the 1990s NASCAR kits?). The chassis in the Super Stocker kits is the same for all of them and comes in 2 pieces so you can adjust the wheelbase a little. With a little work you can adapt them to pretty much any body within reason.

Another option (I like options), depending upon what the cars that ran at your track were built like, would be to purchase one of those AMT 1990s NASCAR kits and adapt a body to fit. I started one using an AMT '69 Chevelle body, but haven't gotten much further with it (I have lots of stalled projects). The wheels are from Plastic Performance Products, by the way.

So of the AMT & MPC Super Stockers - which is the best one? Or maybe the least worse one? If you were going to build "just one", which would it be? *NM*
- "super stockers" or "modified stockers" that is ... *NM*
- Which series is best of the two? I'd say the Super Stocker series because it was an attempt at replicating the purpose built short trackers that were becoming common in the mid 1970s, and looked more authentic to the eye. *PIC*
  - Here's the one I built as a kid, untouched after sitting in storage for decades *PICS*
    - A couple others built as a kid - same deal, untouched out of storage. *PICs*
      - Pretty good builds as a kid. I like them. Really want that Camaro. *NM*
        
        Thanks. These were pretty much my favourite kits back then, which I suppose is why I seem to overparticipate in discussions about them... lol. My enthusiasm is genuine, though. *NM*

        Sorry, I made a mistake. I just double checked my reissue GTO Super Stocker kit and it actually has dirt tires with what looks like the same tread pattern as the originals, but the new ones have Good Year tampo printed in white on the sidewalls.
        
        That's all great information - thank you! *NM*
        
        Glad to help! *NM*
