May want to consider a widebody bugeye sprite fiberglass kit to begin with, the shape is close to what you want with the bugeye's(headlights) and tail chopped.
Would love to see your work. Are you a LocostUSA member?
Yes, there will be a tray underneath. I need to find an article that showed a new undertray with a circular modification in the center that helped top end speeds quite a bit (smoother flow), looked very simple. Anyone seen that article?
Which Bugeye kit are you referring to? There was a factory works fast track body or are you referring to a bugeye racing body? Pics?
