1963 Studebaker Champ DIY Hot Wheels Kit: Build Guide

The 1963 Studebaker Champ DIY Hot Wheels kit is a disassembled custom-building project with a stripped bare-metal body and matching components. This guide covers what the kit includes, the 10 mm factory wheel fit, the finishing supplies you provide, and the variation note to check before ordering.

Kit contents and specifications

• One disassembled 1963 Studebaker Champ custom-building kit
• Stripped bare-metal body ready for surface preparation and paint
• Matching chassis, interior, window, wheel, and axle components
• Factory wheel fit: 10 mm front and 10 mm rear
• One kit per purchase

The components are designed to click together. Model glue or rubber cement may be used for extra hold. The listed casting is guaranteed, but wheel style, interior color, and window color may differ from the photos. See the 1963 Studebaker Champ kit listing for current information.

Prepare the bare-metal body

Before painting, dry-fit every component as directed in the product details. This lets you check how the chassis, interior, windows, wheels, and axles align before finishing the shell. The body and components are separated for preparation, so test-fitting first gives you a clear view of the assembly.

Primer, paint, clear coat, glue, and tools are not included. Choose your own surface-preparation and finishing materials. After painting, reassemble the parts; the product says they are designed to click together and that model glue or rubber cement may be used for additional hold.

Wheel fit and optional display

The factory wheel reference is 10 mm front and 10 mm rear. Replacement wheels are optional and sold separately, so check fit for this casting before purchasing alternatives. The listing links to custom wheel kits for builders comparing wheel choices.

A clear 1:64 display case is another separate purchase, not included with the kit. You can review the clear display case listing if you want to protect or display the completed build.

Photos and expected variation

The gallery shows the stripped bare-metal body beside components, a disassembled view, and a dry-fitted side view. Review all images to see the body and layout. They are representative of the guaranteed Studebaker Champ casting; wheel style, interior color, and window color may vary between available units.
