This is what I've been doing instead of finishing the porting paper....well....just sorta-kinda.
The coupe body will have to wait for a second chassis. This chassis is for the Conestoga panel body.
I will be cutting rear windows in the body to make it look more like my actual wagon.
The carbon fiber "spring" holding the motor pod in place will have to be custom made for the correct wheel base. The one on there now has been...."modified"....to fit, but it's really not driveable the way it is. Carbon fiber sheet on order..!
The "shock" on top is adjustable for friction.
The tires are made for wider wheels. These tires will be narrowed to fit the narrow wheels that fit under the stock fender openings on the wagon body.
Nice thing about FM radios...NO ugly antennas sticking up out of the body...!
I know about the "CASO" moniker...and while this car drivable is well into the three digit range (including the control radio)..I can build copies. Since I'm not yet done, I don't have an exact cost yet.
