I had never heard of using coroplast and silicone seal for making a body. Where could I find some info on that process?

I had thought of of making a wooden body using the strip canoe or cold mold method. The trouble with that is I would want to get too fancy, like an old Chris Craft runabout, and it would only be good for a show car and would increase the construction time and cost exponentially. Of course I could go with something easy and make the show body interchangable. But that would have to be a future project.

I have already ordered the "How to make your car handle" book you recommended just got an email from Amazon saying it has been shipped.

If you follow the locost threads you are probably familiar with what I have in mind for a chassis when I say there would be roll cage like on the Midlana project car and forward chassis lines like Danny Pook's external frame cars...without the swept up lower rail.
