I'm sure it could be done but probably not worth it considering the F103, F109, and probably the front end from RCMART will all work out fairly easily and look better too.
The F103 and 109 front ends are the same width at the king pins so should be interchangeable. If the RCMART part is a little narrower it should still work well.
Pics show different views and details of what I have so far. I moved everything over to the F104 Chassis plate to be sure it came out the same as the F103 I was using. The F104 is easier to use since that's the one Manny used.
More later, I think painting the body is next!!!
