I was back at the recyclers. This is the selection they had today. The longest one is almost eight feet long. Most interesting was the shortest one, it has a Buck Rodgers bullnose profile to it. They all have plastic fittings joining the two halves of really nice, stiff aluminum tubing, and they could be split and widened there or fitted with a trailer hitch, etc. Maybe bows under a Carson-style lift-off top. Abaft a Porsche Speedster windshield.

Even better if the rear suspension and wheels went away...
Now you're talking about this:



More likely is a lift-off piece that fits the full-fendered body. It would fit over the existing [possibly trimmed] fenders and the cooling intake would be updated — more like the Type III but modeled on the Ferrari 488GTB

That's from a link provided by Pooft Lee in the The Underbody thread.
