Help with a idea

I think regardless with cabine you want to use as the base, you will have to cut it into many pieces and lots of stuff must be created newly.

In addition, the 1851 cabine is seperated into several single parts. If you cut it to redesign, you also must look at the connection points, they must still fit. That's really a challenge.

Because of that fac you should think about a complete custom creation of the cabine. I already did it and it's a lot of fun to see it growing. I've build a Mercedes Benz 1851 Gigaline when it wasn't yet available.

You only need good drawings with measures to plan the build, but these yo'll also need if you want to modify an existing one.
