It is a Tamiya body indeed. '98 Baja Champ and discontinued I believe.
I stumbled over 3 of these and sill probably use 2 of them for now: keep the 3rd one for repro-ing if there's enough interest and someone to pull'm.
Tulsa, I'll measure the front for you when i get home

Don't we all have such builds? It happens sometimes to me: I get stuck or realize a fundamental aspect in the car I can not solve in a proper way. Or another car comes along and looks way more promising in all of the weak areas of the ongoing build... It's long ago, but I think in this case it was getting the steering set up and fitting in the chassis.

You could consider this another try, but also stalled since last summer:
