We briefly discussed this a couple of years ago, but I keep thinking about how neat it would be to graft the front sheet metal from a late 140 onto a 240/245 body. The 140 nose has the 1970 1/2 Camaro look to it. Wonder how far off the dimensions are?

I have seen 240 front grafted onto 140 front, but never the other way. The most extreme one I saw was a 164 front end grafted onto the front of a 245, but the 164 has a longer front than a 140.

I think the 240 is quite a bit longer in the snoot.

There is a thread that I just found on the TurboBrickBoard site of several of these conversions that have been done. Anybody got a good 140 front clip?
