Now I gots to thinking, what if one could make replica body of SFA of this rigid plastic. THis should surely make the vehicle much lighter and more economical....

I dont think it is less safe than a steel body. I would just install a good roll bar.. Lotus and Corvette have been building fibreglass sports cars for ages.. and a good thick layer of fibreglass can be stronger than 2.5 mm steel.dalkill wrote:also worried about the safety aspect. maybe keep the cab and just replace fenders and doors.. should be a bit safer.
Thys I agree, because then it becomes similar to the others on the road like Rand Lovers or Dustbins....Kaspaas wrote:The problem in replacing just the doors and fenders is that they might not fit 100%... and rattle and not be dust proof... :roll:![]()
My place is too small, and I have worked in fibreglass before Johan, and never at my house again. You dont understand where that fine dust creeps in, it goes all over the place, and it makes you itch as well... NO NO NO... One day when I win the Lotto and I can afford to rent a little workshop about 5km away from my house I will consider it...JohanM wrote:Thys, but I am sure you have more than enough space at home to start the idea, you can maybe even ask niel to join in seeming that he is becoming rapidly very handy in building stuff....![]()
