Let me ask a few noob-ish questions if you don't mind:

• How will you structurally reinforce the doors and body?
• How will you mount the aluminum body to the steel chassis?
• How will you get the glass made?
• Where will the radiator go?
• Will there be a 'hood'?

Here's one that might work great:

Thanks for the interest and compliments! I will be building the structure much like any other car where I will build structure behind the panels that attach to the jams, floors, and rockers. the floor will have built in structure that will incorporate the body mounts. They will have rubber bushings and be through bolted to the chassis. The glass will be all custom made from acrylic. the glass nose will be the hood, you will be able to see the engine bay without opening the hood.

Thanks for sharing those handles! great idea. I have seen other ideas as well. so I will add these to the list to check into.





stay tuned a lot of update info and pics will be posted today!
