Early stages for me......not sure how it's going to work out or what the heck I'll end up with , but I thought I would contribute a few pictures of what I have going on so far.

Mean machine. Looks fast already :banana-dance: :text-bravo:

Ya' know, you've got one on the setup block and ya think it's looking pretty good, and then someone posts some pictures like that wicked Ford Rob is working up...? Humbling is all I can say.

Looks good! - I like the Shell livery - nice job. But the Minnow motor might be a problem for you in the performance category ............ :o :lol:

Work on the mirage is still in progress. Here is a couple more pics. Body and chassis are ready for painting, glass works can then be installed. I did a few laps with the chassis only, and there is definitely room for improvement...we'll keep on tuning!

This is where I am with my build,I will be putting it all under a Ford Mk 4

[clivearmstrong74]

Very interesting.... i like this! Is the lexan vacform, or how do you get it in that shape (3D printing?) Apologies for all the questions, but I would really like to know. Is it strong enough? What thickness?

Cheers

Hi Clive,I start with a piece of Lexan about 13mm thick and roughly the length and width I need, then I mill and machine the pieces into the shape I want.Lexan is very strong and flexible, you don't just break this stuff.
I'll post some more photos in the week.

Thanx Lez, I'm keeping a sharp eye on this one. Always open to learn new methods, new material and new techniques.
