Is this still a possibility? If so, I would recommend something that is not easily made today. So no Toyotas, no Wranglers, no '73-'87 GM trucks, etc.... I would recommend something entirely unique to ABS bodies and that could also be easily modified to suit a variety of styles: stock, mall crawler, weekend wheeler, hardcore, etc. Bonus if it could also be cut into different configurations like a pickup, convertible, SUV, etc.

A fullsize Jeep Waggy comes to mind. An early Bronco would be a great. Or a Scout, although the new Axial body looks like one already. In addition, if you decide to make panels that can be glued together (a great idea!), the same principles should apply and I think the Waggy and Bronco would still work really well.

My two cents...

Or maybe a Tracker.



Short wheelbase = win!

Looking at the Galt, you could probably mod up an H3 body to look like it. The lines are somewhat similar.

I wouldnt mind seeing a Jeep Cherokee xj, I would prefer a 1999 only b/c of my 1:1.

I also wouldnt mind seeing a Dodge Power Wagon, This is my buddy's '78 power wagon with a 440 under the hood and 5" of lift, he just sold it.
