Wonder why they built the frame independently from the bodywork though... if you made it all one piece, the bodywork work add rigidity, and/or reduce the weight... a big monocoque as it were.

Anybody given this a crack yet?

If you cunning with the shape, and managed negative draft angles correctly, you could probably do it with a relatively simple two piece mould :yes:
