No Pat they really do need to make some in our scale....I have many ideas for builds of those plus one could make a cool dune buggy or surf rod with one let alone a factory stock...we can dream at least...:)

Now there's another idea for a modified 181/Thing in surf/beach/dune look! Yes do keep dreaming, that's where I get most of my ideas for changing kits as I build them, waking at 2 or 3 am and writing things down!

If anyone looks at a model of anything long enough they will be able to see other options for a building version of it Pat....that is how I get ideas for builds often.  I built a 69 Plymouth  4door wagon from a 68 GTX HT kit...LOL... I like my 60s/70s wagons.  In high school a buddy and I took a VW Thing and put it on a Jeep chassis...was fun the drive around in and would go almost anywhere...LOL...

Yes you say that so we must be able to do it! I've built lots of the AMT Meyers Manx over the last 2-3 years and changed most everything except the chassis anf Beetle engine. I bought a Flintstone Resin Manx kit body and windscreen. Used the paddle type tyres front and back and a Corvair motor and a Dakar Mitsubishi 4X4 running gear and hey presto another idea comes to fruition ! I'm presently thinking about a six wheel Manx design with a woody truck bed and a woody trailer from a Model T kit!

Ah well back to reality, I'm replacing some fencing round the garden if it doesn't rain today.
