Kombi with a differance

Just received this body and had a motor lying around so what else can i do
This is a long term project,will be building the chassis out of brass ,also don't know whether to turn it into a ute or leave it as a bus,
The motor is a V12 Allison
The body is 50cm long,20cm wide,18cm high
any way here are a few pics

thats going to have a lot of grunt,you have to put truck diff under it.

Yea it has some grunt
The tranny is a heavy duty auto mated to an 11" drag rear end with quad caliper brakes and drilled rotors
Here is a link to the diff

That's wild!!

my vote is for "BUS"..................

this will be awesome when finished

here's a couple pics of the Allison V12
Spark plus and plumbing are scratch built
All nuts and bolts are to scale and either brass or alloy steel

I just love the motor...what is the scale???

I'm just waiting to see where the driver sits and what sort of view he'd have looking over that engine . Looks fantastic , great detail on the motor .

Well that should get the kids to school in time.... Cool project!

That thing is huge and the detail on the motor is excellent.
It will be interesting to see what you come up with.

Thanks for the comments
The scale is 1/8
Motor is not finished yet still waiting on scale bots and nuts,there 72 for the exhaust manifold along plus the sump and rocker covers There will be over 200 for the motor plus front end and other bolt on bits
the driver should be sitting the normal position up front

Sensational stuff there AJ. This should be a "wow" factor model when finished. Was that large body originally meant for radio control?

Looking forward to more posts on this one.

This looks very, very cool... Ill be watching this one very closely. Love the Allison

tezza
I don't think it is meant for RC as it comes with floor pan steering wheel,light bucket,wheels and tyres and seats,although i didn't get the floor pan, seats or wheels(its a long complicated story).

A bit more done
Diff mounting plates,Throttle lever and return spring
When i get the tires and rims and a few more scale nuts and bolts i will be starting on the chassis
Oil pipes

Diff mounting plates

Throttle lever & return spring

That is sweet! Lookin forward to updates on this

Impressive work there!

Just received the wheels today ,not sure about sitting the driver on the diff

Looks like an old Massey Ferguson tractor in that shot

I was thinking the same thing when i took the photo,but i don't think Massey Ferguson's come out with a V12

Looks alot like Big Al...the 34 Sedan with the Allison. Make sure the driver has earplugs and protection in the more sensative places.

Awesome can't wait to see this finished

WTF!! Unbelievable......
