First Kitbash attempt....A Limo
Posted by bud156 on Thursday, April 7, 2005 2:29 PM
I'm getting married this fall and I reserved a limo for the wedding, and I got inspired. I'm going to attempt to build a limo. I've been looking at my LHS for a suitable car. I'll probably go for a caddy or a lincoln town car. Any one ever done this before? I plan on buying two regular cars and then I'll cut up the bodies to make it long. I might call the limo place again and ask if I can take pictures for reference and insparation for the interior. So, any thoughts, idea's or helpful tips from those who have tried something similar would be greatly appreciated.Smile [:)] Thanks!

While I have not done a limo I have stretched a couple kits. The tricky part is modifying the frame. Extending it with some strip styrene is not to bad but getting all the wheels on the ground can be. Just be sure to assemble the frame on a flat surface and you should be ok.

Thanks! I didn't even think that might be a problem, I'll be sure to keep it flat when I extend the chasis.
