The Tesla would work with a 1967 cutlass or 1966 Buick Riviera really well. Both should be on the cheaper side of classic muscle, but still fairly easy to get a hold of. On the longer end a 1969 Ford Torino Cobra would look sick next to your swapped Mustang.

I'd kill to build a 71 Satellite with a 6.2L V8 dodge crate engine, but that idea doesn't appeal to everyone. We all have different tastes. Electric cars have mechanical parts so saying they aren't factually mechanical is weird.

This Lambo is a perfect restomod candidate, you can do manual conversion just like driftworks from UK and make your own panels with help from other KZbinrs who own Murcis. With the engine it would be interesting to get one of the KZbin machine shops involved like Jim’s automotive machine shop and get head ported and a general refresh. Then do a complete refresh of electronics on the dash.

I loved my 1971 Mustang convertible when I had it in the 80s/90s. 109" wheelbase, 75" width. They could fit a 460, and I had N50-14s, 12.5" tread width and large bubble sidewalls tucked INSIDE the stock rear wheel wells just by using a 1970 rear which was 2" narrower. I had 295/50-15s fit inside the front fenders with no mods and no rubbing. They can take some SERIOUS tire size. And if you went convertible, the Tesla skate would likely be a lot stiffer than the Mustang unibody. Since they're the "unwanted" early Mustangs, getting one out there might be pretty cheap, especially if you find one with floor rot.

If you want to build really cool, which seems to be the case, GM 2nd Gen A-Body cars are 112" wheelbase. Hide a 1/2" in front and 1/2" in back. The wheel tracks are about 4" apart but that is 2" a side and the wheels on the GM sit way in on the fenders so just like the last Mustang you did I think it is close enough. A '70 Chevelle SS Tesla is way cool.

[@maxgulli9399]

A modern or old Charger is my idea for the tesla, wheelbase is 117 for the 70's charger, 120 for the modern ones. They are pretty heavy cars but if you do a body swap you could take out a lot of unneeded materials to save some weight!

[@zaphods2ndhead193]

Chris, the Model 3 has a wheelbase of 113.2" and the body width is 72.8". A 1968 Chevelle 2 Door has a Wheelbase of 112" and a body width of 75.7". It is a badass body style and is often made into a hotrod. How about you make one drive like a REAL, silent hotrod. The wheelbase is very close and so is the body width. I found good side images of both and scaled them to match. The front and rear of the Chevelle is longer but you could just make a VERY large Frunk (room for 3 for a drive in movie)!

[@chrisweaver3106]

Maybe a convertible!

[@Engineering_Improvisation]

That was thought as well. 68 - 72 A bodies would work well (chevelle, lemans/GTO, El Camino, etc.), and the aftermarket is strong for this platform.

[@tk-2m430]

I think it would be sweet to do like an old gangster chop top car in the tesla chassis. A 1940s mercury 8 is about that wheelbase. You could do something with suicide doors and just make it really cool. The 30s/40s i think has some electric cars as well so kind of a nod to that era

" gangster chop top" - That is not an actual phrase that anyone has ever used. Source - I am at least 30 years older than you.

[@wehooper4]

Make your own take on the Cybertruck with the model 3. But more b-is-for-build looking, and thus sporty. The reason I say this is the hood and bed length of a "truck" style build is easy to adjust length wise to the chassis as the "lines" are fairly flat. Thus they are (relatively) easy to shorten or lengthen by inserting sections from another doaner bed or whatever.

[@kurtl6126]

What would be cool and unique is to import a Australian ute body and put it on the Tesla. Though not a preference since there are many cooler utes, I would suggest a Holden Commodore SS VE since the sedan was sold in the US so some parts would be easier to get. Also they came in a few performance models so there are quite a few interesting bodies that you can borrow bits from allowing for a better fit.

I love your transparency.. and honesty in these projects. Thanks for sharing.My favourite channel

I would find a 70-74 Challenger that the bottom is rotting away in a junkyard. The wheelbase is 110", close to the Tesla. They have a similar "box" area around the dash / door opening. I think that would be a great body swap. Since you are in Portland, head over to Graveyard Cars, they may have a body to use!

[@at20rule]

I'm an early day one bisforbuild sub and when you say you've "never built a car that you couldn't go out and of bought" but I thought that the Lotus Evora (7 or 8 years ago) was just a rebuild minus maybe one diffusor or something.

[@jakubzelichowski]

A g wagon would be pretty cool, it has a 113,7" wheelbase

[@denisk4074]

G wagon is a body on frame car, not a unibody, and the frame runs really close to the middle.

Once again a great video, always an inspiration!

[@themadpants781]

you watched the video already. dang, thats impressive

[@jonathane317]

Old school pickup trucks like Ford F100 may work if the width is ok. The bed is easy to extend or shorten

[@RyanSmithSnowboardin]

Iphones/iPad with lidar can be user to scan using apps like scaniverse. Or depending on how good yours is import it directly onto software

[@OneDigitalZero]

Don’t worry about “ruining” a Lamborghini. It’s already trashed. It’s not a precious relic, it’s being salvaged. Anything you do will probably be better than nothing at all.

[@nickestes1684]

I think it would be cool to use the Tesla skateboard to bring to life a concept car or fantasy car that has never been physically created, or bring back a rare classic you'd like to see drive again like the Ford GT90. You have a relatively blank slate to work with, and you've been gaining experience fabricating parts from computer models like the Mustang bumper. I think you would excel at creating an original, replica, or mashup car similar to Axes: Garage's build process with their Volgatti. I can't wait to follow along with the build whatever you decide!

[@kylewise3111]

Maannnnn a gt90 body would be so freaking rad. I forgot all about those, but seeing one modernized would be insane

[@adamlowe005]

Brilliant idea …

[@justinwise6950]

Like a Chrysler Turbine!

[@grantclinch2496]

Put the Tesla motor in the Lamborghini !! Build custom battery boxes, and keep the firewall, repair the panels Bis for Build style 😊

[@nickgarbacz3578]

A 1969 charger has a 117" wheel base and I believe it would be wide enough with some design changes I think that would be a really cool build

[@radness_personified]

You have that massive eyesore of a 3D printer... Just print your own roadster body for the Tesla and then restore the Murcielago as a daily. Another option would be a 1964 Chevrolet Chevelle... 115in wheelbase... Classic Muscle built for the modern age... just need speakers for the rumble sound like the all electric challenger.

[@netu3493]

they might not wanna do muscle since they just did another mustang. Would still be really cool

[@minefarmer202]

a w210 body would look cool on it the class and style of an old benz and the performance of a tesla

[@eoleksiak]

What if you move away from a sports car and look at a large Chrysler/Plymouth/dodge C-body convertible? For an example a 67 has a wheelbase of 124 inches. My 65 Polara as 121 inches. Tons of room for modifications. Sub frame car and can be easily modified. Would make an amazing cruiser and road trip car! Plus you can get very nice (fully restored) examples for under 20k.

[@VegasMikeP229]

For a sophisticated look, an '81 to '91 Mercedes 560SEC two-door coupe has a wheelbase of 112.2 inches and is 72 inches wide. The nice cars are over $20K but an uncared for runner can be $1000.

[@midwestdave33]

I think an 80's box Chevy caprice or Impala would be sick on top of that Tesla. Big 4 door, wide, comfy and easy to body swap

[@ChrisHendrix117]

The AMC Javelin would be crazy as an electric! Especially the second gen. The grill filler would make the electric transition almost ideal for some fun badge work.

[@m5mcmullen]

A 90s S coupe Benz, would be dope for the body swap! And is almost the same wheelbase as the model 3

[@croustibat682]

It is a bummer it wont fit, but better learn that now than once both are cut. You will find something to do with them, dont worry ! About 3D scanners, you might want to talk to superfastmatt, he seems pretty knowledgeable about them (esp. making cheaper ones work well)

[@areastudiopropcgaming8674]

Or maybe maserati Quattropotre will fit tesla chassis. Or bentley 🎉

[@ArizonaSavage]

As good as you guys are with making stuff specially with fiberglass and still so why don't you guys recreate it with a 3D imager and just build the parts that you're missing you can figure it out you always do that's why I like this channel

[@cindy-tron]

Now THAT would be quite the build! The fiberglassing was done over the 3rd printed pieces in the last build and I think they scrapped using that printer, too expensive...but theorecially, making your own parts using the scanner (scan an intact Murc) would be so awesome.

[@tylercoan]

64-66 Ford Thunderbird has the same wheelbase as the model 3. Not a sportscar, but a classic car would be cool to cruise around in.
