1:9 WD21 Project (a little help, here?)

[ByStickel]

Folks,

I hope it's OK to post this here, and to ask for a little assistance. I need some reference photos for a project.

Background: My first car was an early '74 Z, but it was my first '72 510 that started it all. I have owned 5 of those, plus a beautiful '71 240, and a really nice '78 King Cab. I've also been tinkering and building things most of my life. Just to challenge myself, about a year ago, I decided to make an R.C. 2-door Pathfinder from scratch. I used an existing crawler chassis, and am using sheet styrene to construct it. Pics:

Pt.2 So, I was getting closer to being able to paint it, when someone suggested I recreate the IFS. To do it properly, I'd want an accurate frame, too. I just started work on that, making a paper mock-up.




Can anyone show me where the frame lines up with the bumpers, especially the FRONT? When I place the frame where it appears to need to go, height-wise, the front of the frame is completely below the bumper. The frame also appears to be very low in the wheel well, I can't find any good reference photos on the web.

And pretty soon I'll be constructing the floorpan. If anyone knows where I can find some good images of the floors, inside or underneath, I'd sure appreciate it.

Thanks!

I accidentally put this in the wrong forum. If the Mod could move or delete it, I'd appreciate it.

For reference photos of a 2-door Pathfinder, you might find the image from Wikimedia Commons useful. It’s a photo of a 1986-1990 Nissan Pathfinder that has been released into the public domain by the copyright holder. This could be a great resource for your R.C. model detailing. Good luck with your project!
