that back end isnt such a bad start IMHO, needs treaking but the lights and general proportions look ok.

Hi Joel, are you talking about our storm or the Masserati?
We'll work on treaking it as soon as you tell me what it means?

I've always liked this car, How about some series two elise lights up front?
Just wondering, would the bodywork sit on a +4 chassis? as know the tiger ones pretty narrow.
just thinking +4 chassis and rover V8

Jolly good, thats a couple people that have suggested the elise lights, they are rather niceThe Tiger super six that it was originally based on
wasn't very narrow, in fact it it probably closer to the +4, we hope to make sure that the revised body will indeed fit as more and more people
are building these now and it would be a shame to miss out on all those potentialo customers.
Joel, regarding the arse end, we quite like it but someone suggested stretching it a tad, other than that we will pretty much leave it be.

I love the Elise, but I reckon you should take a look at the TVR Cerbera or T350 for a bit of front end inspiration

I stand corrected, I'll get started on the +4 bodywork and see how we go from there.

I like the front of the maxda RX7 from a couple of years ago, i think it has a slight echo of 7 about it that might fit well! In terms of fitting it
to a locost chassis will you do or design pannier structures for it? boxing out the sides would provide a lot more stifness and side impact protection
as well as somewhere to put fuel tanks freeing up boot space.
It might also be woth looking at Chapparal Can Am and le mans cars of the late 60s they were slab sided but looked very purposeful, also an excuse to
stick up a huge wing or hide a vaccuum cleaner

hi,
the project is still about, it just had to take a bit of a back seat while we finished a couple of other build jobs off, things are frustratingly slow
for us as its not our full time work yet.
We had hoped to have something worth looking at in time for Stoneliegh at the latest but to be honest we don't expect to be at that stage until
the end of the summer.
we will try to post updates as and when we have any on here plus you can e-mail us at force10sportscars@yahoo.co.uk
Hope to have pictures for you all soon.
Bye for now.

What's the weight of the bodywork? And does the improved aerodynamics make up for the weight penalty?
