Hey guys!
Here is my new project.
Restore and custom a midnight pumpkins body. I know that it is not a very hard project for a lot of you like edou or JR but I am not a pro. and Why not beginn with small things???
Here are some picts after fast cleaning.

Looks like it's still got lots of potential.
Will it be going on a regular chassis?

Judging by the awards given, I'd say eddrick, JR and sjh70 are the biggest paint magicians here.
So far of course!

Don't do yourself down Stingray-63, I only got "good" at doing paintwork by trying to do a bit better each time - I look at things I did even 18 months ago & think I could have done better ...

I really like the Pumpkin body - In my mind the main flaw is that it's only 1:12 scale, if it was 1:10 it would give so many more chassis options - an XC/CC chassis based scaler would be something else...

Looking forward to seeing what you're going to do with this one

Thanks guys.
I would like to make something realistic. I would like to make a low rider with a clio chassis and some bigger wheeles like dyna blaster. I have rims or tgx BBS wheeles. I don't know for the moment...

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
PLEASE HELP!!!!!!
AU SECOUR!!!!!!!!
I don't know wich chassis to put under my midnight.
I want to have a low chassis. Not a monster truck or crawler. My clio is too long same with shorter wheelebase. Someone have an idea????
Please help!

What's the wheelbase of the Pumpkin body then (more or less)?
Next step from an M would be a TamTech?

Wheelbase is around 215mm, track is 171mm.

I've seen Pumpkins on very short M chassis', but IIRC there are real issues with getting everthing low enough. I used a Mardave 1/12 chassis for mine

Nice lowrider!

thanks a lot guys.
JR your midnight is very nice.
