New Bodywork
TimC - 6/11/06 at 04:32 PM

Just seen a pic of the new bodywork - in particular the new nose. Not sure if I should post it here in case there's to be a grand unveiling or something.

Anyway - it looks nice. Different but nice!

Oh, and no more messing around with mesh and sealant!

leigh

Confused but excited. - 6/11/06 at 04:49 PM

You know you want to!
You could scoop all the mags.

TimC - 6/11/06 at 04:51 PM

If Marc says so......

mandbsheldon - 6/11/06 at 04:55 PM

Well????????

Agriv8 - 6/11/06 at 05:20 PM

Will he wont he ????

Seen it too, got a picture right here.

A customer is fitting the 1st new bodywork and Marc is fitting new to the current Gulf colour demonstrator / race car.

I think the plan is to release pictures of the new body work when fitted to a car.

PS the new bodywork is excellent just the thing to mate up to the NEW Chassis opps think that is a little bit of a secret too

NEW chassis
NEW bodywork

or at least it will be when I pick my kit up.

Sorry guys, but it's down to MNR to release the pics.

Confused but excited. - 6/11/06 at 05:30 PM

Don't you just HATE people that come with half a story? Whet your appetite then leave you dangling.:

Winston Todge - 6/11/06 at 06:48 PM

COME ON MARC!

Very interested in the new developments!

A few of the chassis too if possible!

Any ideas on comparable chassis stiffness/weight?

Do you ever stop developing!!?

I am sure marc will let slip some photo's shortly.

I've seen it (during my adventurous trip to Darley and back to Lisbon) and it (chassis) looks very good indeed but I swear that I did not take any pics (even if I did I wouldn't reveal them )

I agree: Marc is a perfectionist. Jolly good.

marc laptop - 6/11/06 at 10:41 PM

hope to have some pics of the new bodywork fitted this / next week ( a customer of ours is actually coming to fit it as i just dont have the time at the moment ) basically it is a new nosecone mainly with a slightly altered scuttle and bonnet, also a hardtop and doors underway as we speak, all the parts can be fitted to existing cars

best regards

marc

Does that depend on how high your roll bar is?

marc n - 7/11/06 at 07:58 AM

could be a problem on taller peoples cars as we have taken an average measurement of all the cars / kits produced, also looks terrible if its really high up

Dillinger1977 - 7/11/06 at 08:43 AM

hardtop?!.. awww I'm intrigued now..

Dont really want a hardtop anyway, but would like a windscreen and maybe a cover that fits between the screen and the top of the roll bar...

Sizing differences and fitment issues could be solved by using velcro, so the "roof" wraps around the top of the roll bar and then velcros to itself...

Obviously would need a decent fitment to the windscreen top tho

Krismc - 7/11/06 at 06:49 PM

Marc, remember ill still have the hardtop and windsceen as soon as you can supply me one, cheers kris

Winston Todge - 7/11/06 at 07:03 PM

Does the hard top fit a set of hoops rather than a rectangular bar?

Chris.

marc n - 8/11/06 at 09:33 AM

yep will go over cobra hoops
