Good luck on your build.

I'm assuming you've seen these ones already?

Hey NYB, metal is definitely tough but fiberglass is lighter. Unless your going to drive through walls the fiberglass body might be easier to fabricate, remove,smooth and modify. I know working with sheet steel or metal tou have to spot weld to avoid warping the metal which can be a bear to smooth out. You could build your chassis with mounting points the build a foam plug and fiberglass over the plug. So instead of a mold you would be using a plug......Think of the body like a boat upsidedown......Just a humble suggestion....BWD

There was a prior discussion about the size of the car.
