Well, maybe once I have some aero mods, I could do a 318. As for a manual trans, I could do it, but the 727 was recently rebuilt.
What I'm hoping is that if I have success with a new body, and doing all the aero mods I can do, then I can see proof of concept which will spur me on to get crazy with this stuff on a better platform later.
Now to framing. I have a ton of redwood if I wanted to go that route for the beams. I could use conduit or steel studs, I'd use square tubing but that would get heavy fast. I just want the body to be as light as I can go. Would sheet metal riveted over a steel stud frame be strong enough?
I'd sandwich some sort of hardboard or thin plywood on the inside to add insulation and rigidity.
Just looking for someone who's done this before.
Then lastly, will the long angled descent across the roof help that much on aerodynamics (like in the template)? Why doesnt it show up on production bigger vehicles?
