need help

this is my next project but the problem is there is no motor 1 piece chassis, i need help in finding out what other kit i can use as a donor for the chassis (would something like an f250 chassis fit ) it is a pretty boring kit but if i can change a few things and add a few thiks it will be more interesting any ideas would be helpfull

Ain't nothing wrong with curbside, my advice would be just leave it as is

i havnt even got an idea on what colors to paint it yet this one has me stumped on what i want to do with it

Aren't they all white or silver?

Tamiya did 80 and 100 series cruisers. At least 1 release of the 100 series had a full detail engine.
Good luck in finding one though. I've only ever seen 1 full detail Tamiya cruiser kit and that one wasn't for sale.

Now that's a new one,ya curbside would look OK.

i tried to get the tamiya one and not able to find one i know fujimi also bring out a 100 series but again its only a curbside, wanted to go something different than white or silver

The Tamiya kit is a nice kit. ( No its not for sale ) Why cant you cut out the motor and gear box and drop a Chevy like they do in the real thing. If you need a transfer case tell me what side you need the front drive shaft on and what size motor and gear box type I.E manual or auto and I will send you a resin one to suite your set up.

thanks the problem with just droping a motor and box in is i need the chassis to fit as well as it has a fully inclosed bottom to it, thats why i thought of maybe something like and f250 or c1500 kit with a diesel

The F250 and the C1500 are two wheel drive not for the best bet as you would have to shorten it and the rear floor pan would be wrong. The Bronco chassis would be closer but the front diff would have to be changed but its already a coil spring set up were the others are not. Are the Diffs molded in to the Chassis or separate? If they are separate all you have to do is cut out the molded in motor rebuild the chassis detail and drop in the new motor/ gearbox combo If you find a Car / 4X4 diesel let me know have been hunting for one for years The closes one that I can find is the 4 Cylinder out of a Uni Mog... Can you post a picture of the chassis I might be able to help more that way

The cassis is built in as well will take a pic so you can see what im dealing with

A photo of the uperside and underside of chassis i i have found out it can take batterys, and this why i want to find a normal chassis

what length is the wheel base and how wide is it

I bought this kit, I was so upset with it I kept the wheels and chucked the rest out. the proportions are all wrong. I used to have the Tamiya version years ago, kickin myself for not hangin on to it.

it measures 190mm long by 70mm wide
