General Motors did a six wheel motorhome, here's the chassis. It's FWD though, which is probably going to be a showstopper.
How bad do you think the torque steer would be with 1500ftlbs going through only the front wheels?

The letter Q on a bit of plastic or metal makes no difference to a groundbreaking build.
Progress??
I think the OP still needs to decide what direction to go in before real progress happens The letter Q on a bit of plastic or metal makes no difference to a groundbreaking build.
Progress??
On another note, why is there such a dislike for Q plated cars? I've seen it on other threads too, isn't it a good thing as it proves it's been through an IVA test?
I will admit that this project is not progressing as fast as I had hoped. This is due to a number of factors mainly business based. A bit of a case of generating the money to fund it as well as dealing with other demands on my time.
I am currently looking for a second site to expand one of my businesses too!!!!
At present my 'spare time' is spent refurbishing some vintage water pumps for our surrounding villages. I am also doing a few winter jobs on my Ultima including a new front clam. Once these are finished I have a TVR Cerbera that needs a chassis repair and a bit of a refresh.
However, my plan is to start on Thor (name may change at some point....possibly) as this is a longer term project. The engine will be ONE of my Meteor V12's (let's not get silly here!!!). The Carmichael Range Rover currently stands outside my workshop waiting for the body/engine removal which I hope to do before the new year.

I have read your thread from beginning to end and enjoyed every word and comment well nearly all the comments, any way I rarely post or reply to anything, I just stumbled across this on EBay, I appreciate you have already toyed with various chassis and configurations and presently the Rangey is to be the beast of burden but take a look, what struck me was its tax and mot exempt on a V5 with a nice registration apparently transferable, possibly the best snow plow ever known to mankind:

It's in the classic American category
Listed as:
1942 ford chassis
Hopefully that link works if not I assume the number can be used to search the item or can someone more technically minded than me sort out my poor efforts.
Keep the updates coming and can't wait to see more progress.
Kind Regards Paul. Yet another Paul!
