mach4 -- Oh look, nine posts. How about this?



I'll drag it out again. The frame is Oak 2x3 with 3/4" rabbets to capture the White Southern Pine interior paneling, 2" of high performance vacuum foam insulation and a fabric skin stretched over that. The White Southern Pine acts as a light-weight thermal mass, like eutectic salts (except I think it's a wax). It would be extremely easy to heat and cool, even parked in a 100mph wind.

Bamboo interior with sea grass floor mats from BamBoomWagens.com.

I don't know about you, but I've changed my mind. I'm completely over the slant six and four-speed. Now it's pure electric or bust. And there's a version with doors twice as long that gull-wing on both sides. To make a food truck.
