The problem with it is it takes a ton of time spent checking and re-checking everything to make sure it fits, because once its molded there is very little changing that can be done.
I'm not very capable other than bolting things together of construction so the least amount of welding and fab the better for me. CAD and CF and someone else molding it for me sounds best. I'm good with cad especially only as much as this would need it, but forming the panels by hand is out of range for me.

CAD isn't that hard, I took a few weeks of it in school and learned the rest as I went along in the workplace. I'll know how much the bare body will weigh before any shavings start to fly. Handforming is something I can do well and have done before building radar masts for boats. Sometimes you just build to a certain point, get out the cardboard and start fitting templates by hand....
The front is going to be an exercise of that trust me...
