Just got the Monte kit #38187, that comes with a custom motorcycle and
trailer. Kit seems good, with a few extra parts. I'll do mine as a
convertible, shape of the body screams for that. Did anybody notice the
horrendous atomic meltdown of the kit pictured on the box cover?. Is a goood
thing they state that it is a "retouched picture of prototype model"!!.

I'm wanting to use the frame under an old (untouched) Monte NASCAR body I
had, to either Pro street or Touring. Or, maybe Phantom El Monte

The model companies are missing the mark, when you see a picture of a mediocre
model you're hardly inspired to buy it. If they don't want to use box art, they
should use a shot of a full size vehicle. Gotta have some inspiration
somewhere!
Cheers,

The Keeper (of too much crap)
