Default Classic style bodies.

Hello all.
i have started making my own bodies for my cars, as I am not a fan of the cab forward craze that seems to be the current default for manufacturers.
Although Schumacher are not too bad in this regard, I have started with what I run.

So, I thought I'd post them up and see if there would be any demand for them.
First one is a rear cab version for the K1 i'm dubbing the "Viper"




This had decent room for wiring, and I added extra depth at the front around the chassis so it fits better. this is designed to use the standard body mounts.

Currently I'm working on a more traditional CAT/Cougar body for the K2R and K2F, and I will try to work that design for the K1 as well. Will post more soon.

Bravo
I don't run Schumacher cars, but also don't like the cab forward designs.

Good luck with the venture as I think they look great

Thanks mate! there are a few Yokes around here, so if I get my hands on one to measure up I'll be thinking about something for them too.

any chance you could do a slightly wider cat sx3 body for the k1 ? the front on the k1 is a little wider than the sx3
