Thank you Mr Bennelson for your kind words about the Zoleco.I assume you saw my videos on Youtube about the development of the car to date.If you didn't i will give you a brief run down.The project began with my body shape designed around maximum aerodynamic efficiency.But this was done over a 88 Forsa turbo car which had all the original body cut away leaving the front suspension ,engine/trans ,firewall and floor pan for dimensional referancing.Then the body was shaped to fit this drive system, come to a point in the back and still seat four.However i made the spaceframe so that the entire front unit can be removed to allow for differant systems that we might like to try without having to cut up the first frame design.The frame has a backbone stucture leading from the engine to the rear swing axle.Within this area i can fit the exhaust,fuel tank,heat exchanger and a few batteries if needed.The radiator and starting battery will be installed behind the crash absorbing front bumper area in each fender.Thanks again for your comments,now if i could only convince Jay Leno that he needs to buy the first Zoleco to compensate for the poor mileage of his Ecojet!!
