The chassis is fairly complete now, but I'm planning to make a racing
car like body for it as well.  Perhaps something which looks like a

This would, of course, be realistic since many classic roadsters used the
space frame concept with a shell for a body. It saves space too...

This is really good work, as usual.

Cheers,
