One idea did cross my mind for the 8466 and I think you'd be the guy to do
it.  After going through my morning rounds on LUGNET I looked at my 8466
sitting on the shelf and thought of a set I'm thinking of buying (again) on
BrickLink, the 8858.

http://guide.lugnet.com/set/8858_1

The 8466 looks like it could make a good chassis for a "revised" version of
the 8858 Rebel Wrecker.  The only feature of the chassis I think would have
to see some tweaking would be the wheel base- just a bit longer to give more
of a truck look.

Certainly there are a lot of details to work out concering how the
bodystyling would go in such a larger version and other detail tweaking
(seats, tow crane, etc.).  Color scheme of the body would follow the same as
the Rebel Wrecker's (red's a more normal color than puke green).

Thoughts?

Adr.

This could indeed be a very interesting project. Certainly I've some ideas
about it and the 8466 could be a very good start to build such a Wrecker.
But why not give it a try yourself?
One reason why I build my cars is to show to others what could be possible
with limited parts and stimulate their creativety.
When I started to build my cars I certainly had not expected such a
satisfying result. So you may create an amazing Rebel Wrecker yourself...
Who knows. ;-)

Futhermore I'm not capable at the moment to start building a Wrecker because
most bricks I'll need are still in the GTcar and I don't want to break it
apart before I've the car digitalised. I am limited in my number of bricks
too you know :-(
When I can use those bricks again I most likely try to build a Wrecker
because it sounds very interesting. And I may use the puke green panels
because I want to try to build the car exclusively from bricks of the 8466
box..... ;-)
