I have some CAD/CNC foam bucks to do for Schism, and still have to do a full CAD version of the Model E for CFD aero work, so I decided to hack out a rough draft of Schism's door-less body, from the Inhaler Project T-bucket body model I'm working on, and see what it looks like on the chassis, with the grille. Eventually this body model's kinks and wrinkles will be smoothed out, and the original Model T details incorporated.

A little balance will be added with the air intake system for the cooling and induction systems. It will be designed to look like twin luggage trunks, just behind the body. They should bulge out just enough to fill in the gap between the body and the ICE drivetrain, rear suspension, and rear wheels. That's the main foam cores I need.
