hey, do any of you think it would be possible to build a tuber body around my original twin vertical plate chassis?

, maybe even place panles to hide 2/3rds of chassis?

Yes, there are plenty of "toppers" out there.TCS "edge" chassis comes to mind,I believe DMG also has one.

Here's my old hand built chassis, its based off of trimmed down side plates, I used the plates as the mounting locations for the lower links and mounting points for the chassis.

Simply because of the skid plates and they way trannys mount, several tuber setups are very similar to TVP.
My Warthog chassis is kinda like that. I do wish the panels covered the lower carbon part, but then it looks REALLY tall.
