I know I have at least 1 more version after this one. Coroplast to test with...then maybe some FRP sheets as my next/final build. I wonder how easy it is to bend FRP using some heat...

This version will attempt to see how feasible it will be to construct it into 4 major pieces to be able to assemble/disassemble. I might be able to incorporate some side windows in this version fer better rear/side views. It was kinda tough with the earlier versions.

Thinking about making wood strips that I can bend and glue up to git my curve...although I won't rule out using bending aluminum "L" beams either.
