This is looking a bit grim right now. When designing a scratchbuild, make sure you design everything and anything you might not think of before building.
Front track on mine is too wide for the body because the front rails are too spread apart. Rear rails are fine, however the suspension doesnt fit nicely. Its looking like I'll have to rebuild the frame. Oh well, I can make it better now! Practice makes perfect.

What is more work...rebuilding what you already have, or revising the front fenders so everything fits? You haven't built the body yet, so I'd say revise what you haven't finished vs. starting over. You have to be able to make changes "on the fly" with any major project. Do like Foose...adapt, modify, and git 'r done!

Im more willing to sacrifice more plastic, and a little more time to get it done the right way rather than sacrificing the style, and quality. Its a great experience that's preparing me for another scratchbuild and the real world.
Once I finish redesigning the frame, I can make a new, and better one quickly.
