Saturday morning hangover so please forgive this stupid idea, how difficult to fit this body over my Chimaera's chassis?, is the wheel base similar

Funny, i thought the same thing! mASSIVE Massive project!! No floor pan with it. Most internal mouldings would need modifying. Is wheel base same? Engine bay layout would need changing. Probably cheaper to buy one!

Funny how we think of mad things like this though smile

use the chimaera floorpan, and fabricate it to the shell. the biggest part would be the engine id guess....

Maybe Im a bit mad but Id like to do it the other way round. Saggy underpinnings with a Chim shell. It would look like a normal Chim but sound and handle like a more recent Tivver.

The Sag is quite a machine, although Im personally not too keen on the looks. Much as I love the RV8 growl, the 6 does sound pretty damn fine also.
