long wheel base "D" Type
I have had a chat with Chris and I am hunting for photos of a "D" body stretched to fit the Scimitar SE5 chassis 99 inch wheel base.
Thanks |
Sorry meant to say does anyone have photos or know some one who has done this in the past.
Thanks |
IT WASN'T STRETCHED , the chassis was shortened ..... I think Mickey1mo was doing one on a full length SE5...
I put one on a TVR chassis a few years back ..that had a mild stretch ... |

Thanks for your input, the reason I want to particularly want to do a jag based car is that I am currently involved with racing an XJS and have a number of jags sitting about the place.
I can't realistically see me completing the G46 as I have cut shut pinned and glued it together not forgetting the filler, lots of filler, it might be the basis of a buck but that's about all despite that I love the car. A "C" type body is much closer to the SE5a chassis wheel base widths etc but the manufactures building the kits are not prepared to sell a body only for my purposes. |

After a bit of digging I found this... Quote:
Good luck, Paul. :) PS Shame to hear the G46 may never be finished. :sad: |

I was sure I had seen a photo of a stretched D Type shell somewhere on here...
But after a bit of searching, it was actually an A352 extended from Spitfire to Herald dimensions. :rolleyes: Still, the details are below if they are of any help, cheers, Paul. :) http://www.madabout-kitcars.com/foru...&postcount=155 |
The A352 stretched to Herald dimensions works really well , you are actually getting pretty close to genuine D type wheelbase and track ...most D type replica's are wider than the originals to cater for the XJ6 type of axles and front clips ...
You would need a D type body for the Scimitar as opposed to the A352 , as that extra width on them is perfect for your track width .. A cheaper option on the C types would be great if they were available ..I really like the C types they are great looking cars ... |
