looks good allthough not personally very keen on the the styling, would prefer something sleeker and more modern. but i guess that would be easily
done.

It is only a computer generated image though folks.
I do hope that the finished article manages to look substantially the same (classic 60s styling) but addresses the issues which IM(very)HO need
sorting.
Roll bar bracing
Where do your legs go ?
Seat angle / width
Why is the steering wheel away down there ?
Those rear coilovers are on a peculiar position.
Really, I'm genuinely not looking to be over critical - the acheivement in getting things this far is phenomenal, but let the man finish the
design and take it from there. It should be great.
(Dons flak jacket, but I genuinely wish the project all the best)

I so want this book .......... shame it won't pass IVA / SVA
it has no seat belts on the picture! 
(i can see the bits that a seat belt attaches too before someone points it out)
Do you think you can make it for less than 50k?

looks great, can't wait for this book.
I think styling based on old Lotus F1 or FF1600 (?) would be awesome. Lotus type 49 is nice hint hint.
I await progress with anticipation.

So shall I do one? Here's one I prepared earlier!

I could title it "Creating a Furore" - what do you think???
Although of course mine's not a single seater.
I no longer run Furore Products or Furore Cars Ltd, but would still highly recommend them for Acewell dashes, projector headlights, dominator
headlights, indicators, mirrors etc, best prices in the UK! Take a look at http://www.furoreproducts.co.uk/ or find more parts on Ebay, user names
furoreltd & furoreproducts, discounts available for LCB users.
Don't forget Stainless Steel Braided brake hoses, made to your exact requirements in any of around 16 colours.

Just what every garage needs, a 60's single seater for the road as well as the track.....

Nope, but I've always wanted one of those that's all!
Headlights in the nose, or out on sticks?

I'm already deciding what engine I want. One page on here, the other on Ebay! There's a bloke on PH with a road legal Lotus 22, with an R1
engine, IIRC, in it. Looks likes a lot of fun.
Any idea what the target weight will be? Sub 400kg?
