WOW! A sticky? When I started this I didn't think it could raise so much interest! This build was like a little "pause" between a big project and another but is going to be - instead - another great work!
Thanks for your appreciation!
And, about giving a new body to the new frame... I'm starting to think you're right John. The detailing I'm putting on this car is going to be even too much for the original model thinking to the way it was shaped. I'm starting to think that the general shape of the car is less good than the fine details spreaded all around it. It is somewhat too "square" (and I don't even started to deal with fenders)... At the end, continuing this way, we will finish to redo all from scratch, from wheels to the roof... Anyway, now that I'm arrived here, I'll finish this one - as it is - and then we will see how to continue from there...
Cannot wait to see the completed frame!!!!!
BTW: the patterns I gave to you (printable on A4 sheets) are actually the ones I'm using to build my model so for the dimension they should be a good reference. Anyway, looking to the way this model is designed, I'm afraid it could be not so easy to make room for the new components. This is another reason for I'm thinking about an all new body. But let's think to one thing at a time!
