Looks Very nice so far, Is it an Atom style car or will it have a body over it? I suspect the first by how nice it looks already.

Thanks Keith,
Yes it's Atomish style, but with 3 seats....and I must point out that I started this project BEFORE I heard about the V-Storm kit.....great
minds thinking alike..or something like that...
Cheers,
Alan

Nice going Al. 
I notice that you have used almost identical rear suspension setup as your Meerkat.
With using the Honda engine you look to have a lot more room to be able to narrow the chassis at the inner mounts a bit and make the wishbones more
conventional.
Is it kept wide to allow more choice in engines?

Cheers,
TBH there isn't much room to narrow it significantly and still have the engine fit comortably, and have comfortable seating for 3. The track at
the rear is wider than the standard Honda, to fit the engine and reasonable length wishbones...being a little wider will also give it a mean kind of
hot-rod stance.
Also, as you say, the wider engine bay help the fitting of different engines...Northstar even, perhaps..:-)
I am hoping when I have the wheels on the whole look will come together and turn out as I envisage...
