Hmm that would be an interesting way of getting IRS into my car.

Just to be clear, this is without stage 2 and body, correct?

Correct

Hi Mike,
Will the Generation 1 chassis accept the latest bodies, ie, Truck or Roadster Stage 2 kits? I see another chassis (Gen 2) listed here as well. Are the bodies interchangible between Gen 1 and Gen 2?
I've put about 18K miles on the car you sold me. I've learned quite a bit since 2009!
Thanks,

Yes, a Gen 2 body can be put on a gen 1 chassis. A couple of the guys have done this.
Some things of note - you need to cut out the foward part of the door sill area to allow the gen 1 frame to come all the way up (it doesn't dip in the front like gen 2). You also need to use the door frame, striker mounts etc from the gen 1 because the striker location on gen 1 is different than gen 2 - so use all gen 1 mechanical door bits (yes they fit into a gen 2 door).

There may be one or two other minor things but that's the major parts from what I recall...

Thanks Steve,
This gives me something to consider. IRS wasn't yet available when I bought #007 from Mike back in 2009.
Over the years, I've looked for other possible bodies to see if I could find something exotic to put on FFR's fantastic chassis. This has those wheels turning again.

Best wishes,
Tom
