Measuring up the donor kit components, oddly the body is undersized (is really 1/25 scale) the kit wheels are slightly over sized for 1/24 scale? So these will be left as is for our renovation into a full detail 1/24
A visual comparison between the donor Daytona Coupe body (measures as 1/25 scale) and a 1/24 S/C Cobra body, notice the difference in wheelbase measures, is about 5mm difference
Okay, so decided that this is going to be constructed to proper 1/24 scale dimensions, we begin by lengthening the chassis (and slightly wider too)
As the lower control arms are reattached, they are made visually correct, removing the donor kits extra bars (as shown), and mounting tabs constructed & attached to rails
