I'm not going to get too caught up in art with this project, but needed to do a small revision to test something. Most of this build will be decided and worked out in real-world steel and composites. After mocking up the cage, sifting through the frame design, measuring everything, and having a couple of the guys sit in the Inhaler and the mocked up cage, I realized I would need more surface area on the body, to achieve the body-to-roof ratio I desire. Rather than stretch the body vertically, I am going to add rocker panels under it, which are sort of an artistic swipe at the original Model T running boards; that actually rolled out and down. The point is it maintains the shallow T bucket body shape, and kind of props it up over the frame, Model T (Horse and buggy) style. The actual shapes will be determined as the car is built, but this should be close.
