TOPIC:

I built this model from an incomplete chassis.
After careful restoration, I made two aluminum plates entirely by hand
of thickness of two mm.
They are used to connect the two gearboxes.
These were painted with a rust / dirt effect.
The dampers supports have been made with two pieces of chassis cut and stretched
The result is seen in the photos.
Now I have to solve the problem of electrical connections.
I thought I would connect two TEU104 bk to a receiver.
Another problem with the body: what to use?
Suggestions are welcome.

Realy fun mod. You could find a pair of pick up ABS bodies? Like clod buster? Or better a bullhead body wich you could modify the rear and doing a bed?
Very pretty work on your junction parts. Congrats

Thank you ,yes your it might be a good idea, my wish would be a prolonged beetle body
with 4 fenders and a V8 motor in the rear, between the two gearboxes, but I can not make it clear
this solution.

Very nice idea a beetle limo.
Revell/ MONGRAM make a scale HEMI V8 1/8th.
Or you have the solution to use 2 lexan combi bodies mixed by the inside and painted from extern. (not sure about this solution...)

Blackfoot bodies? Cut & shut two with long rear bed/2 sets of wheelarches?

I prefer to use abs car bodies, they are easier to modify.
V 8 motors I already have some monograms but also lindberg.
Lindberg are very old but are of excellent quality.
Thanks for the tips

it might be an idea!

Nice idea...love the idea of an 6 Wheeler Mega Monster Beetle !

I might hava an old bashed MB body laying somewhere around.... Just drop me an MP if you're intrested.
