Back on topic - The direct drive chassis/platform could be made to really be versatile; adjustable wheelbase by moving the front suspension back and forth or maybe different lenght bottom plates. BTW wasn't it the Ford 302 Boss vs. Chevy Camaro vs Pontiac Firebird vs Dodge Charger? Another thought would be VINTAGE NASCAR with 1960's era cars and teams....just think of Petty's SUPERBIRD!!!!!! Maybe lesser licensing costs from NASCAR.
That Looks GREAT, can't wait to see it finished, make sure you post it please
We set the 'Stang body on the 58351 Chassis, cause that is what is here BUT!!! what about using this for the F103GT front and rear, the Wheels have a 6mm off set, 183mm + 12mm total offset wheels = 195mm +- 1mm everything adds up to a killer Slammed Trans-Am look Tires tucked inside the Fenders, 26mm tire up front, 31mm Rear. If you can't afford the real thing at the Barret Jackson, hell make a small one
