Hi,

My current project is a KD 289 that I purchased as an unstarted project. As I was not very impressed with the standard of the chassis design and I wished to use different running gear I basically remanufactured most of it into a backbone design. This took quite a lot of time nut has been worth it. You will need to do some research into suspension design so that you know what the critical factors and dimensions are.

It would be a good project but I suspect your time is worth more and the £1000 or so that Dax charge is quite good value and a small part of the overall cost and will of course add to the resale value.

I also agree with Rich and would build a chassis up in a similar fashion to a GD.

Goo luck.
