Body designs
How about a thread with all the different body shapes of kit cars.
Short description of specs and where you can buy one and 4 or 5 pics. Front, side, back, engine compartment and interior.
I am looking for a kit that represents something like a Chevron B16 Spyder and it would have been nice to go to one thread and look at what is
avaiable.

As I'm about to start figuring out the body design it would be of great help as a source of ideas. I'm thinking something in the line of
the Rapier SL-C, for some reason the wheel base is exactly the same as in my build!

As for Chevron B16 Spyder canam style car - have a look at the Autotune McLaren M1 style car, that may fit the bill -
http://www.autotuneuk.com/can-am-m1.html
Designed for a chevy v8 and porker gearbox but pretty sure an Audi V8 and FWD gearbox could be made to fit as a cheaper option.
A bit more down to earth is the front engine Quantum Napier/Pulsar (don't know who makes this currently) and the rear engine Spire GT (although
more modern Radical type styling).
