I bought a Wraith a year or two ago, and have loved it. At about the same time, I bought a Cherokee body, and have always wanted to make the two of them work together. I did not want to cut the Cherokee body down a lot...my goal was to try to keep it as realistic looking as possible, while maintaining as much of the Wraith Chassis, etc. as possible.
The result was a pinched front end, and lengthened rear wheel wells. The Wraith was a kit, and I have not changed anything on the kit, except removed 2 of the braces for the front bumper.
Here are the pics:

I made the rear fender flares out of the fronts and rears cut in half and joined in the middle. The tire is very close to centered in the wheel well.
You can see the seams where I pinched the Lexan almost an inch in the front. I should have taken in progress pics...
Thank you!
