Hi, I know someone from the forum who is looking into making scale models of kit cars around a bit more than 1/2 scale if you were interested, it would be to your specs e.g. paintwork engine/motor etc. and would have independant suspension at the front and either a fixed or swing arm arangment on the back. I have looked at the Grasshopper which looks very cool but this one would be a space frame rather than MDF and prob about 90cc ish and could be auto or semi auto. If you have any questions just U2U me.
