Well... "freebeard" got me looking at the bamboo bridge test beam, and now I have been thinking of using corrugated cardboard formed into rectangular tube sections, and wrapped with fiberglass, or a bamboo fabric if such a thing is made. And i will have to look at the Fiberfix too...might end up with a "Paper car-taped together"...LOL! Seriously though, cardboard is very strong for it's weight, and enough for the basic frame is about $200.
Even though the X-Prize is over, I would still like to keep to original the intent of making a production possible vehicle.
