I have been working for a customer/friend on a new shell for his hill climb/sprint car. The plug is based on a Reliant Kitten shell. The new additions have been built up from ply and Kingspan boards followed by a layer of 450 CSM. A week of applying and sanding filler has resulted in a nice flat surface ready for 2K high build primer followed by 2k direct gloss. Then I shall start adding flanges, it will require an eight piece mould plus wheel arch returns. The final shell will be done in full carbon.

Looks like an impressive project. Look forward to seeing more.

Looks good.  The owner of a local garage near me has a Saab turbo powered spaceframed kitten.

  This one also runs a spaceframe and a very "trick" bored and stroked Honda S2000 lump. The shells will be available on a commercial basis if he fancy's one

But has the look of a funny car

I remember that build! It inspired me into kit cars

The plug is now nice and shiny in 2k top coat. Now the real work begins, mould making.

Brilliant!

I like the wheel arch extensions.

Will the final carbon shell be one single part? You doing the doors as well?
