Made some minor tweaks to the chassis today. Oh ya, and I came up with a preliminary design for the canopy. I like the looks of it and I think it will probably be very aerodynamic, I just hope I can find someone that can fabricate it for a reasonable and with a decent material.






Total mass is around 170 pounds with what you there. Still a lot to add in terms of weight (the whole drivetrain for example). I'm guessing finish weight of around 600 pounds.
