My thoughts are you might as well couple it to a chassis with standoffs ala a double decker chassis and make it structural. You may revolutionize the industry.

A carbon monocoque would be pretty cool. Might increase the center of gravity though. Carbon fiber is light, but lexan is lighter still.

you know. i was literally thinking about this earlier today. pair up a fiber-lyte chassis and nose plate. a few other carbon goodies and it would be one hell of a carbon build.
love to see where this goes either way.

Mite be a limited market for one at best. Shelfers and the I have one crowd maybee . Runners and racers I would think prefer the lexan body. Just my 2 cents on bodies.

Well I had some left overs of the carbon cloth so I though what a hell.
This body will not be the lightest one but i hope it will be nice.
