Pulled this one out and found some more parts for it. So we had the AMT 32 wheels, Revell 36 Ford front axle, Revell 57 Nomad motor. Revell 29 Ford diff and Revell 40 Ford rear suspension/spring. I should be able to mod all this stuff and start making a chassis for it.

Some chassis progress and modified headers. I need to test fit the headers before I can work out the front chassis

Kinda have the chassis finished. Trail arms are all out of wack and the chassis super narrow but I'm happy with it. Here more pics and mocks before I'm back at work tomorrow. Front trails will probably go to the motor cross member bit. So many colours bouncing around my head for this one ATM but I think I've picked one.
