It would be great if you could do that because I was thinking just the same thing but don't have access to a SWB shell to compare against

Good point, that is why I would buy more than one undertray

There is also a bit of a theme to this particular shelfer

That would probably be OK from a functional perspective but I'm aiming for something a little more elegant for my shelfer

Trying to shorten a LWB undertray would probably work out better than trying to bend a flat sheet

If its feasible you may want to start some sort of Expression of Interest thread.
The other option is maybe there is someone else you could trust with the mould to make them, though I am in no huge rush for one at this stage.

Following your description I have to say I definitely want one or three!

Cheers. Once I receive all my goodies from fibrelyte I'll start some threads for my builds.

I was just thinking did it cover the entire length of the chassis and was the bottom of it flat or did it have a recess for the stock chassis, the one my friend had was flat and covered the entire chassis I am all the way over in Australia but who knows, it may have been one of your! It would be gre...

Do you think you would still have mould?

Any details on the undertray you made, this sounds rather interesting!

Sadly I don't know anyone that could do that. I wonder what it would take to get Marwan to make one. Even though my SWB Mid will be a shelfer it would be cool to have one.

I suppose the cut and shut could be used to generate the mould but not sure if the shape would match that of the SWB body.
My friend was lucky to have that undertray on his mid!

I had a hunt online, it appears theirs has a recess for the standard chassis to rest in, however I will be using a custom chassis that has a similar shape to the LWB one. Also it only covers the central area not the front and rear gearbox extensions. I am tempted to try a cut and shut on a LWB under...

I have been looking for a SWB Optima Mid undertray online and cant seem to find anything, does anyone make one. I know the SWB Mid never came with an undertray from new but a friend 20 years ago once bought a secondhand Mid and it had an undertray on it that was made for the stock body. I'm building...

That is one very beautiful mid Where did you get the motor plate from, I need a grooved one like yours Thank you for the compliments friends. The heat sink motor plate came with a donor car back in the beginning. Not sure who makes them but it is a nice peice. :mrgreen: I'll just keep looking on eB...

Yeah this has been thought of by more than a few. Personaly I like this idea, kinda like the ZX series of Lazers. I went with a second tower plus spacers to beef up the usualy weak single tower. http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i133/bormac/KYOSHO/MidCustSpecial1.jpg That is one very beautiful mid ...
