Unfortunately not, the wheelbase of the body is only 205mm. And its too narrow.

RE: 'Lunchbox Streetrod' Build Chronicles
Some of you wondered about the paint scheme.
Well, here's what I thought of. I always liked the Gulf racing cars, so I will go that way.
Some pics of what it's going to look like and the the stickers I bought for it:

I've been having so much fun with my Lunchbox lately, so I neglected this project a little.
But here's the progress:
A few days ago the body finally came in (after 5 weeks
) and I now have it cut out.
As you can see from the pics, despite excessive cutting on the wheel arches, the wheelbase of the chassis is still too long. I wll have to cut even more.
On the other hand, the problem with the width seems to be fixed.
Another problem occured:
There are no sideskirts on the lexan shell. I might have to fit the original sidepipes, so the chassis isn't as visible as it is now.

Update:
Finally!
I did the paint job a week ago and added some decals today. The only thing missing are some dark blue pin stripes around the orange parts, and the holes for the body posts.
I do not dare to drill this freshly done body, though! [
] I really like how it turned out.
What do you guys think?

Thanks, LB!
Drilling it before would have been too easy!
Well, my first Lexan paintjob, so I didn't think about that...

RE: 'Lunchbox Streetrod' Build Chronicles
Thanks guys, very pleased you all like it!
It hasn't moved an inch on it's own yet, but it's going to be more likely a shelfqueen than a runner.
Will keep you updated on this project.

so....when are you mounting the body?

But I'm a bit afraid it won't look right, because it will sit a bit higher in the front and lower in the back.
Before I do that, I like to play around with it. How about that: Combat-style rat-look!
