Anyone tried hard plastic bodies?

hey guys, i ran a search and come up empty. I was playing with one of my sons toys, and got to thinking. Dont the sheapo $10-15 AMT/Revelle plastic models turn out to be around the same size as the MRS4's?
Has anyone tried sticking one on for a body? I mean, would a 66 Ford Fairlane Wagon work? Room inside for elec's and all? Just curious? I may give it a shot once i research some measuremetns. If I get one to mount up and work i would really want it painted.

anyone handy with an airbrush? Want to work something out?

Thanks,

throw up some ideas for me. please tell me it doesnt work, anything, LIVEN UP THE BOARD! lol


LOL I know "e bay ewww" but check this out! if the dimensions were right for the chasis, you could put 3 sets of elecs in here. lol http://cgi.ebay.com/AMT-Vantom-Ford-...3A6%7C294%3A50

Yep, pretty much just like that. How did it roll? Could you actually run with it, or do they need to be just shlf queens?

thanks man,

It ran, but was too heavy and the handling was terrible.
